It's well known in the auto industry that the Ford Mustang far outsells both the GM arch rival Camaro and Firebird models combined....

Pros: Explosive power; flamboyant looks; underrated.

Cons: Average Pontiac craftsmanship

The Bottom Line: Although the Firebird will be terminated by GM by 2002, it offers a very high level of both value and performance. This car screams of potent power. Highly recommended.

Review: The 1999 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am competently doubles as my daily commuter car, but that is definitely not why I bought it. Indeed, this outrageous automobile is, first and foremost, a muscle car. It is a driver's car, meant to be driven fast and hard....

Pros: Power,looks,reliability,comfort in the front seat,mpg.

Cons: Power window motors go south often...Thats it.

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a gorgeous car loaded with power. Heres you'r machine.

Review: Want the total package? A car that runs low 13's stock and gets 30 MPG interstate? Look no further then an LS1 powered M6 F-body. The car is a 99 WS6 6 speed. These cars are nothing short of incredible and After driving nearly every single sports car I ...

Pros: The Muscle Car Lives, great looks and options too

Cons: rear seat spacing, traction during wintertime

Review: Just test drove a 1999 WS-6 Trans Am. Wow!!! Everything is great about this engineering marvel. 320 Horsepower and a 6 speed that's good for endless fun. The handling is very well defined especially with the WS-6 package which includes 17"...

Pros: Size, Features, Looks Great!

Cons: Can't Think of Any!

Review: This car is awesome! With a V6, this baby has power and despite it's heavy build and size, this car can fly!! All the added features are worth it and you won't get them at the same price on other cars, especially imports!
I'm talking...

Pros: Eye Catcher, Acceleration, Traction, Growls and Purrs

Cons: Eats Fuel.

Review: I bought a 1999 Pontiac Trans Am Firehawk about a year ago. It currently has about 10,000 miles, and I have never had a problem. It is a beautiful, powerful, driving machine.

So what is a Firehawk vs. a Firebird? Let me tell you. A top of...

Pros: Well-built, dependable, no killer insurance price hike. T-top roof very well constructed-no leaking

Cons: Low profile nose scrapes ground occasionally but does no damage. Back seat very small

The Bottom Line: Great looking, fun to drive, mechanically reliable, overall a fun car to own and drive.

Review: I'm definitely not educated in car mechanics...my knowledge runs the gamut of checking the oil, and ...

Pros: Power, Looks, Bargain Price

Cons: Below average Braking

Review: I originally wanted a Corvette for my dream car, but my leasing agent told me about the Pontiac Firebird with Ram Air. I couldn't be happier with his advice. The Firebird has almost as much horsepower but costs less and has more room. The car gets...

Pros: Power, Interior, Sound System

Cons: The Blinker

Review: Stopped at a light... out of the corner of my left eye, I can see a mustang creep up on me. No doubt to try and "blow my doors off".
Heh, Little does my friend know that I have the new 1999 Firebird!
20 more horsepower STANDARD!...

Pros: power, looks, reliability, ASR, 40 cu. ft cargo room!

Cons: rough road cornering, handling in snow.

The Bottom Line: Best car for the money. Looks great, goes fast, holds up well...no contest.

Review: Overview
