  • The Perfect Sports Car - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
    By -

    We all know you can buy a Honda Civic and put $10,000 into it to make it a nice car. Why not just buy one of these Firebirds and have the better looking car, and the performance. Do not be fooled by editors bias towards import cars. This lovely car does twice as much as they can, has more features and looks better. Dont be the butt of everyones "deck out your cheap Honda" jokes, and be the envy, get the Firebird!

    This car is hot. Red 5.7 V8,6 speed trans with out the skip shift. It has great looks.drives like a dream,and more get up and go than my 72 Camaro had. But this cars ride is much better ,and will set you back in your seat very quickly. As far as fuel mileage it does not matter, what a thrill to drive. To sum this car up GM made a mistake dropping the Firebird and Camaro lines. I love this car and will keep it a long time. This car is priceless.

  • Firebirds and Camaro Live FOREVER! - 2000 Pontiac Firebird

    The Firebirds looks are Killer! I own a 2000 Camaro SS and the looks are a bit different, but same everything! The car is a BLAST to drive! It is now cheaper for younger buyers, the aftermarket is unbelieveable.. There are millions of Brands and things you can do for cheap also! (GM) My dad has a Z06 and i will say the vette is bitchen but i love my camaro looks.. But i want his engine and tranny!

    The steering and handling are outstanding and the car has been reliable.

  • Still fun, more reliable than expected - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
    By -

    I have a manual transmission base model as my daily driver. It accelerates, brakes, and corners well while managing to be decently comfortable and returning great highway MPG on cheap 87 octane gas. Its the quintessential cheap sporty car. Performance add-ons I recommend without affecting reliability include a dual exhaust, Pro 5.0 shifter (WAY more precise), a Torsen limited-slip rear (expensive but very different experience than the open diff), and the ubiquitous aftermarket stereo system. When cleaned up it still gets a lot of compliments.

  • fast rhino - 2000 Pontiac Firebird

    This is my 2nd Trans Am but my first with Ram Air. Living in Colorado you would think it was a poor choice for a year round car but it is a good winter car with Blizzacs mounted all the way around. Careful use of the gears, acclearator and fast shifting keeps it moving. It has the torque of a John Deer. I love this car!!

    Great car with lots of style and reliability

  • Bad ass 2000 WS6 - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
    By -

    This car is pure excitement! It will get you as many or even more looks than a Corvette. It is as fast as a Corvette (excluding ZO6) for 2/3 the price. There isnt a better feeling in the automotive world than tearing down the open highway with the T-tops off and the sweet exhaust note of the WS6 Trans- Am!!!!

  • Find of a lifetime - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
    By -

    Found my bird neglected but with extremely low mileage at a Ford dealership for a good price. While I was more of a Camaro guy myself this car made me a convert right quick. For a 10 year old F-Body this car does show its age in some places, but still looks, feels, and arguably quite relevant in todays day and age. Granted the mileage isnt even a shadow compared to newer cars but you have to ask "Self, why did I buy it?" However, I will say that if you want more than stock; be prepared to turn this car from stocker to rocker as in its stock form this car is already stretching its limits. But since when did anyone buy a muscle car and keep it stock?

  • Gotta Love It - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
    By -

    Love this car, the only Mistake GM made is not making it after 2002. Little things that can be done to increase airflow, and it is so much fun. Sometimes I drive other cars/SUVs home but I always miss my TransAm. Replacing the factory Goodyear tires is a must, Firestone Firehawks are a must, better handling in the rain then the car did on dry pavement.
