I am becoming VERY intrested in f-bodies lately and will probably be purchasing one in the near future I love the look of the firebird/trans am body style with the flip up lights and one long tail-light is there any disadvantages going with one instead of a camaro?

 

Funny seeing you in here

No disadvantages at all. Its the same car, different skin. The T/As have better seats though as long as you mean the 98+ models.

 

I was hoping that was the case they are all of a sudden insanely sexy to me....I still have never ridden in one.

 

yuuuuuuuummmm... torque

 

Trans Am`s are alittle heavier.

 

i've really fallen in love with the 93-97 firebirds/ formulas........


that body style has just really grown on me.......

they can be had realativly cheap too............

 

yeah I see alot of them for less that 4k...is there a problem with getting one that has like 138k I know its not ideal but if that what I can afford.

 

TA is prettier if you ask me! Tad heavier! If you buy one I know a shop where you can get parts and work if needed!

 

i'd say no as long as your plan on wrenching on it now and again........


and if its an auto its prolly gonna take a dump soon...... from my experience chevy auto's only last about 100k and then its just a matter of time before they go out and need a rebuild........


but t-5 t-56's last forever as long as they arent abused/given too much power........ clutch might go out but thats nothing.........


same thing for the lt1's (from what i've read) they last a while if taken care of.........


you could always just save a bit of extra cash and rebuild it as soon as you get it too........
