1989 Pontiac Firebird Formula 5.7 V-8 from North America
Summary:
Wow
Faults:
The ignition switch was preventing me from driving it, but the wires were broken.
The chip in the key was also very worn.
The only other bad thing is that it is SO tempting to spin the tires down to nothing.
General Comments:
Not to long ago I rode a Firebird with a V-6 in it, it was pretty useless compared to mine. My dad was big into cars when he was my age and he doesn't really like the newer cars, but when he drove mine he was actually having some fun with it. He used to have a '68 Firebird Convertible 400.
I would recommend this car to anyone... if you can control your throttle foot.
It's a great looking car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

When you've just got new brakes it's normal that the car doesn't stop as fast as normal. The brakes must be worn down.
The spinning is the fault of the blown tire (you could have this with any car). When your tire is blown you should always avoid braking too hard because the wheels will stop harder at one side of the car and this will probably started you spinning.
