What Owners are Saying About the 2001 Pontiac Firebird
"pretty good car i owned it since 2006"
"The 10 bolt rear ends in these cars are junk hand mine rebuilt twice and it needs it again G.M.should have used a 12 bolt rear end. The front turn signal housings are junk they get hot and crack do to the heat the bulb gives off. The ls1 motor is bullet proof in my own opinion have given it many beat downs the 4l60e transmission shifts flawlessly took it to muncie drag way two weeks ago and ran in the 12.9s in the 1/4 thats with 154000 miles on it ."
"Best car ever"
"Zero to sixty in 4 seconds Smokey burnouts in front of your neighbors house at two in the morning and I hope you like chicks because when the see you rolling through the trailer park in this muscle car they will beg you for a ride especially when you push the speedometer past 165 mph automatic or 175 mph in the 6 speed man"
"1997 Pontiac Fireird Formula Convertible, LT 1"
"Although I put a new top on it in 2010 it has recently started to leak. I think it is the rubber seal that needs to be replaced. The driver seat has ripped and needs to be recovered."
