1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 305 VIN E TBI from North America
Summary:
This is a very fast, fun, performing car
Faults:
I have not had much trouble with the car. The thermostat went out and caused over heating, but that was it.
I am noticing that my clutch is slipping and making some noise, but it has been used hard.
General Comments:
This is my first car that I bought. It is very fast and a fun drive. I enjoy a casual drive with the t-tops off.
I have the manual transmission that is a must. When I was looking for a car that was top on the list. It only has the 305 v8 but it powers out a good bit.
I would like to replace the factory exhaust because it is a little to quiet.
I have had many looks from many people. The best is driving down the highway and a rice burner tries to pass you.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have an 88 Formula with the 305 and manual tranny, and it's loads of fun. Could it use more power, sure, but I'm not really looking to race it anytime soon. I had to have it in red, T-Tops, manual tranny and hood scoop. I got exactly what I wanted and couldn't be happier.
