then, on 1985, i had the pleasure to order a PONTIAC FIREBIRD - 713px Image #3
2.8 v6, 5 speeds manual. and t roof. red. painted the top black. handled great, cg 50/50 with the 2.8.
kept for 25 years and 233,000 km (some 140k miles).
besides fitting in the same kind of the xf, it also had that feature of pressing the clutch to start.
just like my first car, the 1951 studebaker!
