So I'm thinking of looking into buying a firebird.

I'm saving up for a new car over the summer and am planning on selling my civic. So I'll have around 10k to spend by the time I'm ready to buy. I was primarily looking at turbo'd I4's (Eclipse mainly).. but was recently thinking of jumping to a V8.

So what do I need to know about firebirds? Are they reliable cars? Obviously they're fast. What about traction.. I live in CT and winter isn't too fun (not to mention, in the summer I do sometimes like a little slide on turns.. am I gonna lose the backend completely?). How do they handle (keep in mind I'm used to nimble little 4 cyl)?
