Up for sale is a 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Ws6 with ram air and the basic bolt ons. I bought it stock from the second owner of the car and has always been a Colorado car. Never in any accidents and very straight with minimal signs of wear. The paint is in excellent condition. The car has low miles with 84000. I have put the bolt-ons on the car around 81000 miles. They include the Slp catback exhaust system version 2, Pacesetter long tube headers, Pacesetter off road y-pipe, Eibach sportline lowering springs, Volant intake, and Kyb adjustable shocks. I purchased the parts all brand new with receipts and had the parts put on by a shop here locally named RMCR. They specialize in Ls1 platform builds so they know what they're doing when it comes to doing aftermarket parts for these cars. The car runs a little rich due to the catalytic converters being taken off. It runs and drives great just the gas mileage suffers a little. I usually get around 20 mpg combined. The exhaust not on this car is probably the best sounding car I've ever owned. It's not obnoxiously loud but you can hear that Ls1 rumble. The transmission shifts smooth and the clutch grabs great. I always let the car warm up before driving it and I never beat on the car because I have a bike for that. I drive this car like a grandma most of the time. Everything works great including the air conditioning, power steering, power locks, power windows, power driver side seat, cruise control, traction control with a flip of the switch, and the heater works great. T-tops are one of the coolest parts of these cars. The driver side one only leaks a little when you go to power wash the car but when driving in the rain there is no leaking. The tires are in great condition along with the battery. Starts up every time and drives great. No leaks or smoking what so ever. I always change the oil at 3000 miles and I changed the coolant to regular because the orange coolant causes head gaskets to go bad. I changed the coolant around 3000 miles ago and I completely flushed all the old coolant out. It hasn't had any problems overheating ever. The radio works great but sometimes the display on the factory head unit goes out. The controls through the steering wheel work great and it's awesome to change everything while still holding onto the steering wheel. I keep my car clean and the interior spotless because nobody likes a dirty car. This car is in great shape and the only reason why I'm selling it is because I'm in debt with school so the toy has to go. If I didn't have other priorities, I would never even think about selling this car. This is by far my favorite car and will make anyone happy to drive. If you want to come check out the car or have any other questions my number is 719-242-5960. Thank you.

Drive plays Smokey, Bandit with turbo Trans Am

Sun, Jun 28 2015

The modern trend for powertrains can be summed up with the simple maxim: cut displacement and add forced induction. Whether you are looking at the just-introduced 2016 Chevrolet Cruze or a BMW M3, this adage holds true. However, Pontiac's attempt at the idea goes all the way back in 1980 with the Firebird Trans Am and its turbocharged 4.9-liter V8. Drive's Mike Musto takes out a 1981 example to explain what makes this largely forgotten muscle car so special, and it certainly isn't performance. While a 4.9-liter V8 might sound like a lot in the modern world, keep in mind that only few years before the second-generation Trans Am was available with up to a staggering 7.5-liters of displacement. Turbocharging of road cars in the early '80s was quite archaic by today's standards, and the Firebird only managed around 200 horsepower with this mill. Without much go, the turbo Trans Am made up for a lack of power with lots of show. As Musto points out, the famous flaming chicken adorns practically every surface you can see on the coupe, and boost lights on the hood illuminate when the turbo is spinning. Musto still finds a lot to like about the turbo Trans Am. He even calls it "Burt Reynolds as an automobile." Find out why the coupe is so special in this entertaining clip.

Even Ferrari swept up in latest Takata recall expansion

Fri, May 27 2016

The scope of Takata's deadly airbag problems continues to widen. Eight manufacturers announced recalls Friday that affect more than 12 million vehicles, according to documents filed with federal regulators. The automakers include Honda, which is recalling 4.5 million units, Fiat Chrysler with 4.3 million, Toyota with 1.65 million, and Subaru, which is recalling almost 400,000. Some of these cars include the Saab 9-2x and Pontiac Vibe that Toyota and Subaru made for General Motors. Mazda will recall 730,000 vehicles and Nissan has 400,000 affected units. The smallest numbers were posted by Mitsubishi, with 38,000 Lancers manufactured from 2006 to 2007, and as a noteworthy high-end manufacturer, Ferrari is calling back 2,800 vehicles. These are all US-market cars. Beyond America, the Japanese Transport Ministry has announced seven million additional vehicles will be recalled, which means 19.6 million vehicles across the globe are affected by recalls announced. The defects have been traced to an insufficiently manufactured airbag inflator, which lacks a drying agent that would prevent the inflators from deteriorating over time. Thirteen deaths have been linked to the faulty airbags, which have become unstable and are prone to exploding and showering vehicle occupants with lethal amounts of metal shrapnel. A private equity firm, KKR & Co., has been named in a possible buyout of the struggling Takata.
