Overview & Reviews

Firebirds get a minor restyle that is most evident from the front end. Also on tap for Formula and Trans Am models is a detuned Corvette engine making 305 horsepower without Ram Air induction. Base models can be equipped with a new Sport Appearance Package, and two new exterior colors debut. Second-generation airbags are standard.

• Astounding bang for the buck factor, better styling than Camaro.

• Gold chains image, crappy interior plastic

  Great sports Car - 1998 Pontiac Firebird
  By Thomas Schetter - September 4 - 10:00 am

  This is the best car that I have ever owned. Out of all of the usage that I have on this car I have only replaced the alternater after nearly 100000 miles. The car is now 6 years old and it feels the same as it did when I bought it brand new. Every where I go people are always turning their heads and looking at my car. I get compliments on my car all of the time.

  Pontiac Firbird - 1998 Pontiac Firebird
  By Steven Glavan - July 27 - 10:00 am

  I like this car a lot. Its fast and sporty looking. Its not too bad on gas. I would recommand this car for first time divers if they want a sporty looking car, but not as dangerous as the V8 model.

  By Salvatore - September 25 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car 2 months ago and I love it! the car performance is more than I excpeted its really fast, it handles really good in turns and what ilove the most about id is that it puts mustangs to a shame.even the top of the line mustang can not compete with this car. of cource is a GM car always puts ford in its place.

  Just amazing! - 1998 Pontiac Firebird
  By American Muscle - August 21 - 4:40 am

  Words cannot describe how truly amazing this car is. Having owned many other sport cars in the past I didnt think I was going to get much better. Boy was I wrong! The Formula has an extemely powerful LS1 engine which is the same engine in the Corvette. The engine is incredibly smooth and sounds great. Also, I get 26 miles per gallon highway! I ran 13.48 at 105mph (stock) and I have the conservative 2.73 gears in the rear end. I am not one to insult the inports but those cars (300zx turbo, 3000gt vr4 and rx7 turbo) have nothing on this car when it comes to straight line acceleration plus it handles very well. The only import car I would put up against it is a Supra TT. Drivers race!

  Love my v6 firebird - 1998 Pontiac Firebird
  By anon@hotmail.com - March 25 - 10:00 am

  I bought my standard firebird model in April of 1998. The only problem Ive ever had with it was with the gas gauge not working correctly but the dealer fixed it with no problems after that. It has been a very reliable car. I had 2 Pontiac Grand Prixs before this car and I have to say that I have had very good luck with pontiac cars. One of my most favorite features on the Pontiac are the radio controls on the steering wheel.

  POWER + LOOKS = FUN - 1998 Pontiac Firebird
  By FirebirdStud - November 7 - 10:00 am

  I am a firebird fan - always will be. My first car was a stock 1996 FIREBIRD V6, and I have loved the car ever since! The smell, the feel, the way people look at you when you cruise past. No other car replicates the feeling you get when youre in a Firebird. I bought my 1998 TRANS-AM CONVERTIBLE about 4 months ago, and absolutely love it! The first time I mashed the pedal to the floor, I couldnt help but smile! There is SOOO much power it is unreal.. even on the freeway, the car can rip up to 100 without missing a beat. It is a fantasticly redesigned exterior that absolutely SCREAMS, "Bad Ass" - this car demands respect!

  Quite impressed - 1998 Pontiac Firebird
  By ryanjm183 - February 28 - 2:16 am

  Even with the unfair advantage the my wife was supposed to buy a truck for me while I was in Iraq this car has impressed me. Being in siding and window sales I lacked space and often bottomed out the suspension while carrying a lot of samples. It is also difficult to get a child restraint in and out of the back seat. All in all I would have to give my Firebird an excellent rating and would recommend it to anyone without infant(s) and/or sells siding. Ive only had it in the shop a couple times for minor repairs that I didnt have time to do myself.

  Big Lous review - 1998 Pontiac Firebird
  By lou - January 22 - 12:20 pm

  Everything about this car is awesome. My gold WS6 T/A vert gets stared down by everyone in the city. The hood scoops and front end are the baddest of any car out there. The power and sound of this beast let you know that its a real muscle car. With 300hp at the rear wheels, this thing flies. It was disgustingly underrated by GM so that it wouldnt take sales from the vette, but in reality they have the same engine. 350hp would be more realistic. The chrome 17" wheels are the best looking stock rims ive ever seen. With almost 100,000 miles on it, nothing has gone wrong. Doing routine maintenance will hopefully keep this car running strong forever! Long live the Trans Am!
