1993 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am coupe
Mid-year 1995, GM's venerable, but excellent, 3.8-liter V-6 was available as an option. In 1996, the 3.8 was the base model's standard engine. Smooth running with 200-horsepower, the base V-6 was a good alternative for those not wanting the expense and high insurance premiums of the V-8 Formula and Trans Am models.
