"This car is really a Firehawk by SLP engineering. Lots of stuff added to the Firebird it is upgraded to make the car even better! It has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. Not one problem since owning it new in 1999. Over 23 MPG on the highway and if you take it easy the around town, the mileage is not bad either."

97 firebird formula/tra convertible. only 1 of 283 produced driver door damaged prior to purchase,but still a beautiful car&fun!!

"This car has great handling, looks, power and commands respect. A newer than 60's & 70's car that gets attention. Changing spark plugs & sensors may present problems, but fair to good gas mileage and fun to drive with awesome power upon command makes you fall in love and want to keep it in as great a shape as possible."

"This was not my first choice or my second choice for a toy car but my brother bought it new and made me an offer I couldn't refuse... After getting it home and driving it I cant say enough good things about it. Its scary stupid fast and handles like a slot-car. Its comfortable but, hard to get into. and with all the power it still gets over 30 MPG on the highway!!"
