Overview & Reviews
For 2001, V8-equipped Formula and Trans Am receive five more horsepower and five more pound-feet of torque, new exterior and interior colors join the palette and the Ram Air Formula is dropped from the lineup.
- Powerful V6, spectacular V8, true muscle-car performance at a bargain price.
- Boy-racer-in-gold-chains image, cheesy interior plastic, V8 nets sky-high insurance rates.

Gas is Holding me Back - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
By onoshedien01 - March 21 - 4:06 pmOverall performance when I first purchased car was excellent. No repairs needed. Maintenance was kept up from previous owner. Great condition inside/out. Bought at 65k. Take curves like a whip. Engine was eager to drive like a bat out of hell. Now at 121k still runs good but maintenance is needed.

T-REX - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
By HOVEN - February 5 - 5:06 pmI have recently purchased a 2001 convertible. I know it is old and has a few miles on it. I bought it with the prospect of fixing it up into a mean machine. The car is one of a kind.

By Cgseaman - October 13 - 2:00 amAwesome car...fun to drive and really sporty. Its not too difficult to add on features to give it more of a muscle sound. Great look and always turning heads!

Fun car not reliable daily driver - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
By 01 firebird - August 12 - 10:00 amThis car is fun to drive with like a sports car but with the v6 you dont have to worry about gas. The only problem with this car that I have had so far are strange electrical issues (ex. The headlights flip up and down when using the power locks with the remote?) also has electrical problems after being stored. Still a great convertible for Florida weather

This is one awesome car!!! - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
By NJones - October 6 - 10:00 amPunch the gas at 30mph and listen to the tires rip loose! Ive taken this car stock to 13.20@106 at State Capital Dragway. To say that that isnt impressive is ignorant. The car handles great, gets decent enough gas mileage, and as long as you dont have to sit in the back seat, youre comfortable!

*purrs* - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
By ^^Re-bound - January 13 - 1:23 pmIve had an 88 Dodge Aries, 95 Geo Metro & an 02 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. I said Id NEVER drive another car after being in my truck but with gas at $4 & getting 17 mpg while driving a 60 mile daily commute. I had to re-evaluate. I was shown 3 crap cars when I went in for a trade- in (1 was TOTALLY crapped out & wouldnt even crank!) & then shown this 01 Firebird. I drove it. Thats all there was to it. I giggled the whole time! Kit had 75K miles on her & hadnt been taken care of very well but she purrs like a dream & the LOOKS she gets is just mesmerizing!! *giggles* Truck? What truck?! :D

LOVE THIS CAR!!!! - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
By ksford1 - July 20 - 3:07 am14 yrs. ago I was in a Pontiac dealership having a repair on my 1990 Sunbird, it was already at 150K mile. So as I was wondering around the showroom and spied a Red T-Top 75th Anniversary Edition Firebird! Can you say IMPULSE BUY?! Well Ive never been disappointed with her. She sits in my driveway right now, looking just as good as she did the day I drove her home, and a few offers to buy her. Sure, there could be more room in the back seat, have replaced EGR Valve, a headlight issue I solved, and recently a new ignition cylinder, but shes got almost 140k miles and Ive Loved every one of them! I plan on giving her to my great-nephew in 3 years for his High School Graduation, or not...

WS6 All the way! - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
By 01 Ram Air - April 1 - 10:00 amGreat car, no problems besides gas eating and balding tires.. Oh, and guys in "fast" cars thinking they are faster... But thats part of the fun. Interior could have been done better. Exterior looks are exceptional. Power is way under-rated. 12.9@112 mph, you tell me... Me vs. C5; 13 to 1..... Impressed yet?

Reasonable Drive - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
By 7Jewels - March 21 - 10:00 amFun to drive. Takes customizing well. Add a flowmaster and a cold air induction package and youre in there. The powers good and its fun to drive, but it sucks on gas. The handling is really good, but its better with 17in wheels and 45 series Z-rated tires. Good gripe and side-slipe is controllable. The only thing I hate about this car is the "Skip-shift" feature. I bought a six-speed for controllablity. Skip-shift is a buzz kill.
