Thread: I want your opinion...

pass. save more money. buy a bird w/ a ls1.

i say if u dont mind not having a v8 then go for it it obviously will be more of a cruiser then a performance car and if u plan on swaping in a v8 i would just save up and buy a v8 cause its so much trouble to swap a v8 u need to change sub frame and alot of other stuff

I would say save up, settling is never good.

save up

I really want one with T-tops but in the climate I live in I am afraid they would leak something fierce. The one I am looking at buying has a hard top. Any suggestions or opinions are helpful, thanks and safe driving out there.

I would go for it! that 3.4L will save you on gas for sure. I have owned enough firebirds and camaros. I had a 91 with a v8, and would fill it up on sunday, and end up filling it up about wens/thurs. Plus if you are really really wanting one, don't let it slip by. Don't worry about if its a v8 or ls1 or v6.. To be honest, it will get you from A to B.

The 3.4 wasn't all that good on gas...

A friend of mine used to have a 3800 Firebird. Thought he was hot **** with his RWD. The GTP put him in his place, haha. I'd save up and buy a LS1 bird. Settling is never a good option. I settled on the last car I bought and I kicked myself for it every day until I sold it.

If you want it cuz you want to go fast get a v8. if you like it solely for the looks get the v6.

if all youre gonna do is do visual mods and hard park it all day, feel free to buy away.

if you want something that can move out of it's own way, pass.

Had t-tops in 86 grand prix. Never really leaked but always had wind noise and the sun was always giving me glare. At least moon roofs have pull shades.
