"A reliable, fast little car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The torque converter would not disengage (covered by the warranty)

Replaced the alternator at 185000.

Wheel bearings at 195000.

New rear brake drums at 195000.

Power steering tubing replaced.

General comments?

Very impressed with the power and acceleration. Beat a V6 Camaro and V8 Thunderbird in races. :)

Tranny holds the power well.

The car has some paint chips, but the rust is very very minimal for 205000 miles.

Wish I could afford a manual in it. That would seriously make it a much more fun car to drive.

Has custom wheels and an aftermarket spoiler for a more aggressive appearence.

How did you get it to beat a V6 Camaro and a V8 Thunderbird? Is the one you have a V6 or 4 cylinder? I have a 92 Sunbird LE (2.0L) with a K&N filter charger, AC Delco Rapid Fire spark plugs, and I keep the engine very clean (synthetic oil, fuel injection cleaner, and I use 93 octane rating gasoline). How do you think I would do racing? I've beat a V8 79 Chevy Nova and a 97 Toyota Camry, but I don't know what exactly they had under their hoods and I didn't know the running condition of the Nova. So, I've done pretty good. But how exactly you beat a V6 Camaro and a V8 Thunderbird, I'd like to know. Email me: reyandrew@hotmail.com.

I've got a 1994 Sunbird, the last of the good guys. It's got a 2.0 ohc mpfi engine and it outhandles any mustang or camaro or firebird that i;ve ever seen. Great takeoff with the 5 speed and pretty good power. I would have to say as far as coupes go it's the best I've ever owned!
