Overview & Reviews
Electronic traction control is now available on all models, with a bigger gas tank and an oil life monitor standard. A Torsen limited-slip rear axle comes with V8 models (and V6 cars with the performance package), while an eight-speaker Delco/Monsoon sound system goes into the convertible. A power-steering cooler is now available for V8s, and a Hurst shifter is optional on the six-speed manual transmission. The Ram Air WS6 package now sports dual outlet exhaust, and two new exterior colors debut, Pewter and Medium Blue Metallic. The 30th anniversary Trans Am sports an extroverted paint scheme that features two blue stripes running over the hood and deck lid.
- Powerful V6, spectacular V8, true muscle car performance package at bargain-basement price.
- Boy-racer-in-gold-chains image, cheesy interior plastic, sky-high insurance rates for V8 models.

1999 3.8L V6 automatic - 1999 Pontiac Firebird
By abcizdaman - November 19 - 10:23 amI just recently went on a road trip from the Hi-Desert, CA to both Phoenix and Prescott, AZ. The care handles very nicely and is fun to drive. The only thing is it made my back sore after driving 300 miles. Its not really a car built for comfort, especially for a tall person like me whos pushing 63". It has awesome styling and pretty good acceleration for a V6. It gets alot of head turns, especially at night with its stylish headlights. Without any additions it tops out at 118 to 119mph. Im sure with a supercharger and/or turbo it would max out around 130 to 150mph. Im just guessing though. It comes standard with a crappy stereo system that has alot of issues. I changed it out

Clean White 99 T/A - 1999 Pontiac Firebird
By Dirtybird54 - November 14 - 4:56 pmI recently sold my Firebird Convertible for something a little quicker. This car currently has 37,xxx miles on the clock and its in outstanding condition. I love the power coming from the 5.7L LS1, same motor as my dads 00 Corvette Convertible. When you stomp on it, this thing answers back with a lot of roar and put-you-in-your-seat power. Ive done a few things with the motor to free up some more ponies and put some grippier rubber on with new 18 inch wheels, really makes this car that much more enjoyable. Its a shame GM isnt talking about bringing it back, they could really make some money if they did. I know Id buy one, if they designed it right with the enthusiast at heart.

I love my 99 Trans AM! - 1999 Pontiac Firebird
By MSPOOKIJO - March 1 - 4:33 pmIve had my Trans Am for almost 9 years. I have 225,010 miles on it and I still love it! I am going to have to get a new car within the next couple of months because Im on the road so much and I need something with better fuel economy - if they still made them Id get another one though!

Firehawk - 1999 Pontiac Firebird
By jhawk - February 9 - 2:00 amThe Firehawk edition offers excellent performance. The car accelerates extremely well, and the handling is good with the modified suspension. I also like the look of the custom hood. The sound system is excellent for a factory system. My only complaint is that Ive had several major repairs done under warranty, which make me question build quality.
