Is there something in particular that GM is not good at?

Not putting a Pontiac V8 in them since 1982 ...

The newer Firebirds don't have too many problems. T-top leaks, weak power window motors, and electric cooling fan sensor/relay issues which seems to be the norm on F-bodies since the 1980's.

The only major problem is with the LS1 V8 piston slap on '98-01 cars. It usually developed early in the car's life so any used one you buy now should have been repaired.
