455 Horsepower 2001 Trans-Am WS6 Heavily Modified With Paperwork and Custom Dyno Tune. For sale today is an extremely clean, heavily modified 2001 WS6 Trans Am. This car only has about 7-13k miles on it since its complete drive train overhaul from July of 2012 until January of 2013. Since then its also had alot of tasteful modifications which will be listed below. The motor has a nice cam set-up that's been on the car for about 13k miles, at which point the head gaskets, seals, timing chains and so on were replaced. The Transmission, clutch, rear differential and gears were replaced at 77k miles by Maryland Performance Center in Fredrick Maryland from 7/12 until around 1/13, where everything else on the car was inspected as well. The exhaust was modified from front to back and fitted with custom 02 fittings so that it still passes emissions. Also has an electronic cut out for those who like it a little louder with american racing headers, custom catted Y pipe and Magnaflow exhaust. MPC also gave the car a custom dyno tune, at which point the car was recorded putting down 455hp at the crank and 390hp at the rear wheels. All in all the drive train from front to back only has 13k miles (motor) and around 8k miles on the transmission, clutch, and rear end. The sound system in it is amazing, with a custom Kenwood head unit as well as aftermarket speakers, MTX sub and JL Audio amps to give it crisp clean sound.

As you can see, alot of time and money has been poured into this car. Its not easy to find a clean F body with reasonable mileage on it, but this car has less that 13,000 miles on the suspension and complete drive-train from front to back. My asking price is what they go for stock, without over $11,000 in parts that are into this car and close to another $5,000 easily in labor to have it all installed. I have you tube videos as well with a walk-around of the car and the exhaust. The first video of the walk around has the cut-out for the exhaust open, and the second video from the back of the car has the cut out closed and running through the dual magnaflows. The cut-out switch is located in the ash tray hidden from plain sight and can be open or closed while stopped or driving with the flip of the switch. The first video also shows the hazards on so you can see the lights switching in the front from clear to orange. Videos Below Walk around...cutout open youtube.com/watch?v=3vfkN90qDSo Exhaust from rear with cutout closed youtube.com/watch?v=llPYrnZ9k_c&list=UUf-xshr8LBOSlEAVF6gDG3g&feature=c4-overview All in all, the car is extremely clean and shows how well its been taken care of. This is a true coded WS6, check the pictures for the vin and door codes. The car runs great and sounds absolutely wicked. It does not have any body damage at all and the interior is as clean as it looks. It doesnt have the typical door panel cracks or interior cracks that most come with and it also doesnt have any of the typical "door sag" that the F-bodys are know for having because of the weak fiberglass where the door hinge mounts to the door. The drives side door had a weakspot on the bottom mount from the fiberglass drying out a few years ago so it was replaced with a stronger newer version offered by GM, there are plenty of threads about this all over F-body forums and most people try slopping fiberglass all over it to fix it but this was done the right way by replacing the defective unit. A video is listed below to help illustrate the issue F body Fiberglass door issue (mine was replaced OEM) youtube.com/watch?v=Nvi7y-R0owg Like I said, most people attempt to re-fiberglass the themselves to save the money but the only way to ensure the issue is resolved is to replace the unit professionally. This car was never a car that anyone cut costs on, as seen above. The car runs fantastic, it has no check engine lights or warning signs, oil pressure and temperature are absolutely perfect and it can be driven wherever you want to take it. The paint is amazing for its age and even though its cloudy in the pics, you can still see the blue-purple tint it has when the light hits it. Its got tons of GO-FAST goodies but was never tracked or raced. The car is in really good condition for being a 13 year old car. Nothing on this car was half assed or back yard mechanic'd. The most recent mod was the Bilstein Shocks all around with an alignment. The interior like I said is in great shape with no rips in the seats or holes in the carpet. Firestone tires on factory WS6 chromes that shine nice and have a touch of rash on the lip but they are in great shape. The clutch is also adjustable so it can be set to your liking or driving style. The car also has a CLEAR TITLE registered in MD which is signed by the previous owner and can be transferred to the new owner upon payment with a bill of sale as well. I bought the car with hopes of taking it with me to my new home but my house failed inspection and I have to fork out money on a septic system and heating units before I can close on it. I have Dyno sheets from Maryland Performance in Fredrick as well as receipts for the Transmission, Clutch, Flywheel, Gears, Diff cover, 02 relocation so on and so fourth. Every thing else thats listed can be found quite easily with part numbers to see that the costs on this car are in fact very, very real. Please consider that the upgrades on this car are pretty close to what im asking just by themselves, WITHOUT LABOR!! This is a modified F-Body Trans Am WS6 thats pretty much only got 13k miles on everything but the body, which only has 87k on it itself. The t-tops do not leak and it has zero rust issues. Also has tinted glass t-tops and windows. Any questions feel free to email me at threewheeler@live.com or you can reach me via ebay message.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
