1994 Pontiac Firebird

Pontiac chose not to make too many changes to the 1994 Pontiac Firebird. The convertible Firebird was reintroduced though, along with a special 25th Anniversary white and blue Trans Am. As with a hardtop, the red Formula convertible came outfitted with a 275-horsepower version of the 350-cubic-inch Corvette V-8. You can choose between a 6-speed manual transmission or a computer-controlled 4-speed automatic.
The differences between the base model engine and the Formula and Trans Am in the 1994 Pontiac Firebird are rather stark. The latter two were much more powerful, while many users have cited problems getting off the line in the base.
For the 1994 Pontiac Firebird, the 5.7-liter V-8 adopted sequential fuel injection, but retained the same horsepower/torque ratings. Trans Am became a separate model, adding a GT edition, for a full four-model lineup. The GT had so many standard features, Pontiac proclaimed, mat only 5 options were offered.
