1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA review from North America
"Best bang for your buck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump died.
General comments?
Incredible performance. 22 mpg around town and never lost a street race (Mustangs, Vettes etc) Handled very well and was a definite head turner. Aftermarket headers and a 3" exhaust made the car sound sweet, and I was always complemented for the sound. Would not think twice about buying another one, very sorry that I sold this one!
