The 4th Gen Pontiac Firebird With A V8 is The Devil On Your Shoulder
The focus of today’s episode is a car that can bring out the inner hooligan in all of us. And for those who aren't certain if an inner-hooligan lurks just below the surface of their personality, rest assured that if it's there, this car will find it, yank it loose and set it free.
01:15 - INTRO
Looking for Fun? Get a Firebird With A V8 and a Manual Transmission
So what is this car that makes good people do bad things? It’s the 1993-2002 4th Generation Pontiac Firebird, and in the case of today’s episode, I’m suggesting you get your 4th Gen Firebird with a V8 and a manual transmission, not a 6-cylinder engine and an automatic.
05:25 - You Might Want One If...
07:00 - 4th Generation Firebird Details
SPECS – 1993 Pontiac Trans Am with 5.7-liter V8
PERFORMANCE - 1993 Pontiac Trans Am w/5.7-liter V8
EXTERIOR STYLING
The long, low and sleek aero-look of the 4th Generation Firebird drew inspiration from the design of the 1988 Pontiac Banshee IV show car and from the later California Concept Camaro.
INTERIOR APPOINTMENTS
The 4th Generation Firebird has a functional cockpit that doesn’t compromise driving fun. Up front it has comfortable bucket seats for driver and passenger that offer good support with leather or cloth seating surfaces. On the downside, the interior plastic material won’t win any awards. Slick and cheap-looking, it won't win any awards. In back, 2+2 seating with a folding rear seat back adds to carrying capacity under the rear hatchback, while also offering seating for two additional passengers for short trips.

These cars are still affordable, but prices will go up over time, especially for models that offer more power and performance, including the WS6 package T/A, the Firehawk SLP and others.

No one said your commute had to be boring or you that had to be practical and buy a car that fits into some adult-shaped mold. So go buy a 4th Gen Firebird with a V8 while they’re still affordable, then cancel your therapy sessions and live a little. You can thank me later.
