  Fast - Not Furious - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
  By Classy Bird - September 1 - 10:23 am

  Ive owned this car since it was new. Originally I had trouble with the power antenna and one of the headlights not popping up. Four trips to the dealer and the headlight finally was fixed - loose connection to motor. One other problem I had was the gas line regulator valve leaking gas into the engine when it was hot causing hard starting. Ive not had any problems since these. Ive been real happy with the gas mileage. I get 18 mpg in town and 30 mpg on the highway. Thats with a heavy foot. Would have bought the TA except insurance would have been 4 times higher even though I havent had a ticket for 15 years. Also, cost difference was $16 grand - buy another car for that.

  Transam "turns the ladies heads" - 04 - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
  By brandnu4u - August 19 - 2:00 am

  I have owned a 2000 Black Ram Air Transam with T-tops for approximately one year. It is, by far, the best sports car around for the money (VALUE). Insurance rates are ridiculous, so I am not sure how long I will be able to keep it since I recently received a traffic violation which will send my rates out of the universe!! I will miss this car greatly if and when I have to sell it to another lucky owner. Awesome power, Great look, and fun to drive. More fun than any car I have driven thus far in my life. KC (age 36)

  Love Trans Ams - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
  By ShellsSSR - March 31 - 9:30 pm

  I have been driving a Trans Am since 1981. My first one was a 1979 4.9 gold one that was 2 yrs. old when I bought it. My best and favorite one! I drove it for 200,000 miles and had the engine rebuilt. Loved that car. Drove it for 17 yrs. Then ordered my 1997 Trans in 1996, then my 2000. Ive been giving her a rest because now I also own a 2004 Chevy SSR. I really like vehicles. We are G.M. people only because of my brother, Mike, who worked for them before his sudden death in 11- 05. Miss him severely. I used his gm discount on my 2000, so I probably will never let this car go. My car is very clean,never in any kind of crash, babied like no other (except the SSR) and only has 50,000 mi.

  By Far, The Best Sports Car Under 45k - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
  By TomG - February 28 - 10:00 am

  I bought my 2000 Bright Red Trans Am in early August of 2000 after repeatedly test driving Mustangs, Eclipses, Celicas, and even a BMW 3 series. What I wanted was a sporty, fun, and fast car for around 25 - 30k. I have every option except for the WS6 package (3k for 15 horses?) I opted for the 4 speed auto rather than the Hurst 6 speed which I found to be clumsy with long throws and an imprecise feel, not to mention that horrid skip shift. The performance of this car is just unreal. I havent had any problems thus far in the 1.5 years that Ive had it. The Monsoon sound system is simply amazing. I would reccomend this car to anyone who loves driving.

  Firebird V6 (My 1st car at 18 yrs. old) - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
  By TexasBird - December 7 - 2:00 am

  *Performance 5: V6, very weak. Has tendency to embarrass you. *Comfort 8: Front seats very supportive. *Fuel Economy 7: Great everyday driver. I got 31 mpg on I-10 for a road trip. *Fun to Drive 6: Only good for lookin good. Get flirted with a lot more. *Ext. Design 10: Great aggressive stance and body look. *Int. Design 9: Cheap plastic buttons dont look good. Red glow of instruments at night is awesome. *Build Quality 8: No squeaks, leaks, rattles etc. You get what you pay for. Trans Ams are a lot better built. *Reliability 8: Only thing to break is pop up headlights and CD player.

  I love it! - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
  By Cyrad2 - December 1 - 2:00 am

  I have owned the car for 3 years now. I drive it everyday. I get comments on it all the time, and the best part is wiping the smiles of the pansies driving mustangs. Great bang-for-buck car. I cant wait to trade up to a T/A!

  heads turn - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
  By carol51 - November 17 - 2:00 am

  The vehicle is garage kept, and used only in the spring and summer which is why the mileage is so low. The color is pewter, the interior is black leather. It is an automatic. The only problem is the insurance because my son is on the family insurance policy. He is 19 and even though he doesnt drive it, the insurance company lists him as as occasional driver. It is the best sports vehicle we ever owned.

  Best bang for the buck - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
  By Jules301h - October 6 - 2:00 am

  My car made 308RWHP on a dyno with minor mods, thats around 360HP at the engine. The engine is greatly underrated by GM to make the corvette look better. Mods are cheap and these cars can easily run 12s in the 1/4. The engine has great power, but the car does not handle well due to body roll. Suspension mods like new shocks and sway bar quickly fix this. The auto trans is excellent and nearly as fast as the manual. If you are looking for a fast car that has great mod potential, this is the one.

  the stock spoiler is kind of annoying when it rains because it puddles up, and the door is heavy. other than that its fine
