    My 2000 firebird conv. Headlight nylon gears stripped , so i purchased solid billet brass gears and have had no problems since, another problem is the front fog light and blinkers , they get water in them and short out . I had this happen a dozen times in 25yrs ,even after sealing bulb housing and using thicker gaskets on sockets , but still water gets in . Very expensive fix for top shelf bulbs and sockets and housings that melt . Rear lights unevenly darkening , i used a polishing small attachment on my drill and cleaned and polished the inside of light through bulb holes. Also the moonsoon radios volume control doesnt work correctly. , the sun visors break very easy because there are no 2 contect points like most cars these only have the 1 contact point so if you are not carefull they will bend in half and start to droop . I always have a power window motor in reserve parts stash . But i love my 4th gen . Riding the gulf coast 😎 of florida beachs ⛱️ with the top down

    I have wanted one of these since they first came out! Everyone else i knew dogged their looks, but i love it so much and think it looks sporty and makes so much sense to have the plastic in places that typically attract rust over the years. Its brilliant. And the fact you can put the back seat tucked away and take the window out and expand the bed length is an epic design. Im looking to buy a 2002 z71 4x4 soon and its the same blue one as in this video. This video just sealed the deal for me on just "another reason i love this truck"😂!

How would you rate the cabin noise on the C4 Corvette's and 4th Gen Trans ams, both between each other, and also in comparison to other ordinary vehicles?
