Both the v6 (if its a 3.8) and the v8 are reliable, probably the most reliable engines on earth. You can get them with a tremec 5 speed and maybe a 6 speed in special editions? The firebird looks better and if I were to have one it would be a ‘94 firebird with a 5 speed because pop-up headlights. The non-popup v8 cars got an upgraded engine though. So overall strong, dependable, fun cars. Edit: I’m normally against muscle cars that have a v6 option but I would totally rock a 3.8 v6 94 firebird, seems more of a sports car vs. muscle.
thanks, and yeah when it comes to cars like the camaro or mustang i would only go for the v8 but the firebird seems like an exception lol
I could not tell you anything about the v6 models, but the z28 and the trans am used an LT1 engine (the same as the c4 corvette with a more restrictive intake) This engine is extremely reliable, and not bad on gas either. It is also relatively easy to mod as well. Anyway they are all great cars. :) Good luck finding a car
do you think it would be a safe bet as a daily driver? and would a high milage one be risky cause i see a few for sale in my area but all have 100k+ miles on them
Not a huge chevy fan, but their transmissions hold up pretty damn well. Only issue is adding power, some of their trans’s don’t like going over what it was designed for.
Well, I must say I ran against a Z28 with a manual, about 350 horses at flywheel, and I didn’t think it was that fast (Although YES, he beat me by the end of the 1/8th mile drag strip). It looks and sounds very cool though.
You mean this Camaro?
yup the catfish one lol
They’re great cars. Well built motors, and if you find one with the T56 6 speed, you’re in business. The weakness is the 10 bolt 7.625” rear. Once you start putting power down you need to strengthen that rear as much as possible. I have basically the same rear axle in my Firebird. It’s a great choice of car, but avoid the V6. You’d regret it :)
