Anyone has some better pics where the color can be seen better?

Also are there some good Firebird-forums out there?

Thanks alot!

Looks like a 95-96 with Dark Purple Metallic.

Here's some pics of my car, same color:

Yep, that's the color. There's a nicer (in my opinion) purple that was used from '97-'98 called Bright Purple Metallic too. It's much rarer, so you'd need good luck finding one.






My mom almost bought a used one of these T/As back in 2001 before she bought her 35th LE. The TA had glasspacks on the exhaust and my mom didn't want to deal with turning it back to factory spec. What a shame. It was a T/A WS6 like this one.

You are right, it is a '95!

hmm, I'm really surprised, that it looks so good!!!
I was a bit frightened that it looks to much like a chicks car in this color.
the reason why I asked is: I testdrove this car, liked it so far but it was kinda dark at this time. I could not really see the color.

But your Z28 looks very nice!!!

Well, I guess I should tell you that I am a chick

But yeah, it is a nice color. I know a lot of people don't like it though. It also look GORGEOUS at night cruising the strip after a fresh polish and wax.

Also it's a very rare color, IIRC it's the rarest color on the LT1 era cars aside from Quasar Blue and Sebring Silver.
