1988 Pontiac Firebird Formula 350 review from North America
"The right Formula"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The water pump gave way at 56K ($225).
The driver's seat is showing some age.
The right front wheel has scuff marks from curbs on the outer lip.
General comments?
This car is amazingly fast, but not too much faster than my 1987 Nissan 300ZX turbo that I had before this.
GM really needs to keep the F-Body alive or it will start losing customers.
