89'Firebirds Hello!!
I’m looking forward to buy a new car – and more specifically a PONTIAC FIREBIRD.
There are three models that caught my eye.
Pontiac Firebird 3.2 V6
Pontiac Firebird 3.0 V6
Pontiac Firebird 2.8 V6
They all look the same except for colors. BUT! They say that these 3 Firebirds have all 100hp(136p.s.)
How true is this?
And can anyone please tell me what the average MPG for these engines is.

The only V6 available should have been the OHV 2.8 Liter V-6.
173 CID.
135 Horsepower@4900 RPM
160 ft/lbs@3900
MPG should be somewhere around 21-23 MPG with a 4 speed automatic. Not sure about the breakdown for city/highway.
That was the only V6, unless you count that "other" V-6 in 1989.
TTA Baby!!!

the 3.1 would have started in 1990. It would be nice if you ran across someone who had totally lost their mind and decided to sell their 89 3.8 white Firebird with camel interior for the price of a used 89 V6 Firebird!

Nice choice in car, but that 2.8 is a dog in the performance deparment. I'm not sure of gas mileage but I'm sure its low 20s. The base 89 firebird (I believe) was also available with a TBI 305 that gets decent gas mileage (hence my camaro in the sig). My friend has an 86 bird he's fixing up and you won't regret getting one. V6 or V8, if it's running good, your set.

'89 was a good 3rd Gen year and style.
Once you get it, drop in subframe connectors and a strut-tower brace, then start planning a twin turbo upgrade.
After that, upgrade the suspension, wheels 'n tires, and brakes, and you'll have a bad *** ride with a great CoG.
