  • True Muscle Car! - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
    By -

    I have had this car for 2 years now. It is the best car I have ever had. The Mustang owner I come across must hate it. Not one stang has beat this beast.

    Ive had nothing but fun with my Ram Air. Since Ive bought it, all Ive had to do is change the oil; and tires of course :)

  • Killer 2000 T/A WS6 - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
    By -

    Third trans am Ive owned, and the fastest. Love the racey exterior, and interior. Handles great around corners, passes with ease. A definite looker. A very fun car to drive.

  • Fun on a part time basis only - 2000 Pontiac Firebird

    Hey, 18 months with my Trans am and I love alot of things with it. The ls1 has tons of torque all 6 gears, Its a fast car, turns heads, and attract attenion, but the reliablity brings this car down. The problems with the car are numberus, first of all engine reliability, the push rods bend so easily, other than that-- no engine problems. The rear axel is very sentitive. Lost my rear end at 60mph twice @ 46,000 and 47,000 miles. They upgraded the clutch in 2001 for a reason (2001s have vette z06 spec clutch). Fast? Yes. Fun? Yes. Satisifed? Yes. Holds Value? (relative to market) Yes. Reliablity? No!

  • 2000 WS6 - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
    By -

    My 2000 WS6 is the 3rd Pontiac Ive owned in a row. The car handles like a dream, it was purchased used with the skip shift eliminator already installed, along with 4.11s for the gears. The only problem Ive had is tearing through the teeth on the pinion. The stock GM 10-bolt rear axle just cannot handle over 350HP. Stock the car is 340, so any modifications and you will most likely have axle problems. Next upgrade, SLP 12-Bolt.

  • Dependable Ride - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle new. The only problem that I have had with this car is the brakes (but I am always hard on brakes).

  • Great sports car - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
    By -

    I have enjoyed every moment with this car, I have traveled across the country in this vehicle and have allways enjoyed the ride and the power on demand feel of this car. The only reliability issue I have ever had with this was when the battery died. This is hardly an issue though as that is a normal maintenance item. Anyhow, great car with a great ride and comfort.

  • Poor Quality - 2000 Pontiac Firebird
    By -

    I bought this vehicle for my son back in 2000. Its done nothing but cost me money. Things that normally dont tear up on vehicles fall apart on this vehicle. From the power windows going bad, emission problems, replaced fuel tank and pump, replaced rear diff, pinion seal, replaced numerous lights switches, power steering pump leaked and on and on. Ive spend almost as much money in keeping this car running as I did when I bought it new. This car has only 68,000 miles on it. My toyota 4 runner has 165,000 and Ive only had to replace the brakes. Ill never buy another American made car.
