This generation of the Firebird had its shortcomings. The first of which are generally targeted toward the 305CI V8 engine. This powerplant was notorious for overheating and generally lacked power. Part of the reason for this reduction in power was because of all of the new smog equipment that had to be connected to the motor. With all of these smog regulations, cars were becoming underpowered in general. Interior parts inside of the Firebird were cheaply made and would often break. The Formula model was an upgrade in some aspects with a fuel-injected motor.
