In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 1996 Pontiac Firebird. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

The 3800 the most reliable engine GM ever made

@danielfisch389 3 года назад

I‘ve been driving that one since July 1997. Same specs, same colour. Only put the Firebird emblem on each side between the side and the rear windows (like in the 70s and 80s) and a badass hifi system. Love of my life

I’ve got one just like this firebird too,same color,same 3.8 v6.only difference mine has the wood grain interior package,I’ve had it since 1998 and still runs great

I fell in love with Pontiac when my dad brought home a 2006 Grand Prix rental. It was all decked out for some reason and it was fast and it was just amazing. What an amazing car. Pontiac should come back.

@Doominator13707 13 лет назад

this is actually a formula as well. it has the formula rims and only the formulas came with the stereo system equipped with the equalizer. the brand is a monsoon stereo i believe. the 3.8 is an aweswome gas saving engine but the Lt1, Ws6 and stock v8 are always the "fun" engines. the 3.8 has amazing kick to it tho for being a v6. very gutsy engine for its displacement.

I am saying nothing changes for the 3rd gen just manufacture it as is using the same blue prints no retro model look as with the 2013 models. what do you think?
