Hey this is my first firebird all I know it is a 95 v6 firebird can you tell me more about it?

Is it a good car
how fast is it ( is it faster then a lot of cars made now?)



is this a formula? and it has a upgraded spoiler and dual flowmaster exhaust.

 

no its not a formula.. a formula would have a 350 v8 and from ur year it would be an lt1 not a v6.. and i would have to say it might be quick but not fast.. as long as it was taken care of (maintained properly) it would be a great daily driver.. good on gas and quick for a v6 but thats about it.. nice car tho.. might have just been the pic but looks like the nose is a different color then the car.. possible accident?? o and this is a 4th gen not a thirdgen.. u might get this locked..

 

thanks a lot for your info and sorry I am new here so I did not know where to post this.

 

But would my car be faster then this car?

 

 

sry im new to all this that car goes up to 200 and mine goes up too 180 so does that mean the other car is faster?

 

Seems like a troll thread to me.

And it looks ridiculous that somebody put that spoiler on that car and didnt paint it. Also those look like 96 rims.

 

Just because the speedo says 200 does not mean it will do it. Most cars are limited from the factory to no more than 115mph or so by use of a limiter.

 

^^ agreed.. and no its not a troll thread he actually messaged me and asked a few more questions.. my say is that yes ur firebird will beat that hyundia kia or what ever that import crap is.. im guessing ur 16 just got ur license and got the firechicken u posted in the first pic.. word of the wise.. dont street race ive been there and done that.. got my licenses suspended for 2 years.. the hard part is haveing to pay the fines while u cant drive to work.. and it would be sad to see another bird in a junkyard.. 4th gen or not..

 

Lol you said troll tdot the Kia killer .... but serious no street racing take it to the track be safe

 

yea I my question got answered thanks.

Double posting & wrong forum.Not off to a good start.
Buying a car you know nothing about, not the smartest either.
Do you even know its history (wreck/clean title/hidden damage/etc)?

 

ive seen a lot of those cars with mismatched colored noses i think its something to do with the cat that there different materials and they used different prep methods, but it does look like the ones ive seen around

 

yea sorry about that when I made the thread I hit submit twice so that's why there are two threads and the car has not been in any wrecks. But the guy said it was a 96 but on the ownership it said 95.

 

i hope u made sure the vin number is the same on the tittle as it is on the car.. if u dont know where to look theres a lil window at the bottom of the driver side on the windshield.. if it dont match take it right back and raise hell

 

Yea I know where to look. But I did not look to see if they match I will do that tomorrow It better ****ing match.

 

so u didnt check before u bought it? wow.. at that im guessing u didnt look underneath, under the hood, do u even know if theres a spare tire in there?? what would have happend if u got a flat on the way home? lol

before i buy a car i always look it over with a fine tooth comb so to say.. ive even jacked a car up on the dealer lot and looked underneath for leaks or rust.. always checked the oil and trans fuild..tires including the spare if there was one.. the whole 9 yard.. u never know what people will say just to get some green in there pockets..

if u dont have a carfax on that for all u know that car could have been rolled and fixed at a body shop off the books and sold to u..

 

Yea I rushed into buying it saturday I will go and pay $30 for a carfax

 

if u dont mind me asking how much did u pay for this?

 

I had a 94 camaro 5 speed.... terribly slow but OK from a stand still. probably not bad for a first car, my first was an 88 formula with a GTA rear end. what a beater, FUN N Quick but Alas a beater. looks like a trans am spoiler. whatd you pay and how many miles, what condition is it in ? dont mean to pry if im getting too nosy then let me know and ill shut up

 

I payed $1200 and 230,000km's

 

Depending on whether it's a 95 or a 96 it'll have a 3.4 or a 3.8

 

Not necessarily -- although the 3.4 was still standard in 1995, the 3.8 could be had as an option. I'm probably willing to bet that it was a very RARE option, but it was available nonetheless. Of course by 1996 the 3.4 was gone, and the 3.8 became standard.

Also, someone said those look like 96 wheels...that style wheel debuted on the 1994 25th Anniversary Trans Am (where they were only available in white), and then became the ONLY available wheel (in silver) on ALL base model Firebirds from 1995-97.

 

Had to check, you're right they had that wheel on the v8s then, but every 95 v6 I've ever seen had this style wheel http://www.dragtimes.com/parts/PONTI...238061884.html

The "standard catalog of" book I have doesnt mention the 3.8 being an option in 95, but I have noticed a few errors in it so you could be right.

Checking the tenth character in the vin will tell you the real year. S for a 95, T for a 96.
