Powertrain Options and Availability
Base-model Firebirds started off with a 3.4-liter V6 engine, but turned that one in for a 3.8-liter late in 1995, earning 40 more horsepower. The 5.7-liter V8 under Formula and Trans Am hoods developed 275 horsepower in 1993-95, adding 10 in '96. A "Ram Air" option hiked the output of that latest V8 to 305 horsepower. In 1998, an all-new V8 replaced the old unit. Despite a similar displacement, horsepower jumped to 305 on the base engine and 320 with ram air. With V6 power, the manual shift is a 5-speed; with a V8 comes a 6-speed gearbox. Automatic transmissions are 4-speed units, with either engine. V8 horsepower increased by 5 in 2001; SLP Firehawk package added another 5 horsepower.
