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 Design shows what could have been and what might be
Thu, May 27 2021We periodically like to check in with GM Design's Instagram account to see what they're cooking up. Even better is when we catch a glimpse of an alternate history of what legendary designers from The General's past were thinking, though those ideas may not have made it into production. This week, for example, the account posted some illustrations from George Camp, whose career at GM spanned nearly four decades, from 1963 to 2001. One of the renderings is of what appears to be a 1971-72 Pontiac GTO Judge, but with two headlights instead of the production unit's quad beams. The rear departs from the canonical version most dramatically, with a massive integrated wing. Other bits that didn't make the production cut include large side vents, a gill-like side marker and rectangular intakes below the headlights that wouldn't be out of place on a modern design today. Amazingly, from what we can make out of the date, it appears that the drawing was done sometime in 1965, which makes it quite prescient. View this post on Instagram A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) There's also a very aerodynamic interpretation of a Corvette ZR-1. To our eyes it splits the difference between the 1986 Corvette Indy concept and a fourth-generation F-body Pontiac Firebird, so perhaps parts of Camp's work on this sketch did make it into physical form. There's also a radical sports car concept from May 1970 that resembles the Mazda RX-500 concept from the same year, a Syd Mead-looking Cadillac coupe, and an Oldsmobile with a cool take on the company's trademark waterfall grille and elements of the Colonnade Cutlass at the rear. Other recent posts include a FJ Cruiser-like off-road EV, a sleek coupe with the Chevy corporate grille, and a rendering of a Silverado-esque pickup that looks far better than the current production version. View this post on Instagram A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) It's pretty easy to lose hours in the account, but it's always fascinating to see GM's visions of what could have been and what might be.

Are orphan cars better deals?
Wed, Dec 30 2015Most folks don't know a Saturn Aura from an Oldsmobile Aurora. Those of you who are immersed in the labyrinth of automobilia know that both cars were testaments to the mediocrity that was pre-bankruptcy General Motors, and that both brands are now long gone. But everybody else? Not so much. By the same token, there are some excellent cars and trucks that don't raise an eyebrow simply because they were sold under brands that are no longer being marketed. Orphan brands no longer get any marketing love, and because of that they can be alarmingly cheap. Case in point, take a look at how a 2010 Saturn Outlook compares with its siblings, the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. According to the Manheim Market Report, the Saturn will sell at a wholesale auto auction for around $3,500 less than the comparably equipped Buick or GMC. Part of the reason for this price gap is that most large independent dealerships, such as Carmax, make it a point to avoid buying cars with orphaned badges. Right now if you go to Carmax's site, you'll find that there are more models from Toyota's Scion sub-brand than Mercury, Saab, Pontiac, Hummer, and Saturn combined. This despite the fact that these brands collectively sold in the millions over the last ten years while Scion has rarely been able to realize a six-figure annual sales figure for most of its history. That is the brutal truth of today's car market. When the chips are down, used-car shoppers are nearly as conservative as their new-car-buying counterparts. Unfamiliarity breeds contempt. Contempt leads to fear. Fear leads to anger, and pretty soon you wind up with an older, beat-up Mazda MX-5 in your driveway instead of looking up a newer Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky. There are tons of other reasons why orphan cars have trouble selling in today's market. Worries about the cost of repair and the availability of parts hang over the industry's lost toys like a cloud of dust over Pigpen. Yet any common diagnostic repair database, such as Alldata, will have a complete framework for your car's repair and maintenance, and everyone from junkyards to auto parts stores to eBay and Amazon stock tens of thousands of parts. This makes some orphan cars mindblowingly awesome deals if you're willing to shop in the bargain bins of the used-car market. Consider a Suzuki Kizashi with a manual transmission. No, really.
GM replacing passenger airbags in over 243,000 Pontiac Vibes
Sat, Jun 20 2015General Motors is repairing over 243,000 additional examples of the 2003-2007 Pontiac Vibe in the US and Canada to replace their Takata-supplied passenger-side airbag inflators. The company has no reports of irregular deployments in the models, though. These aren't actually newly included vehicles in the massive safety campaign. As a twin to the Toyota Matrix, the Vibe was already included in Toyota's figures, but as Pontiac-branded vehicles, GM dealers are taking care of these replacements. They have been covered as part of the Takata campaign in the past. Toyota expanded its own Takata recall to passenger-side components for 1.365 million vehicles on June 16. Earlier, General Motors also issued a campaign for 330,198 examples of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 3500HD, GMC Sierra 2500HD, and 3500HD pickups to replace their passenger-side parts. After exposure to moisture, it's possible for these inflators to ignite too quickly in an accident and spray shrapnel at occupants. GM Statement The Vibes are included in two Toyota recall campaigns - one for high absolute humidity (HAH) areas and one for non-HAH areas. Both are considered national recalls even though only vehicles in certain HAH states and territories are in the recall. Total Pontiac Vibe passenger air bag numbers for MY 2003-2007 (U.S. and Canada only): High Absolute Humidity 89,719 Non High Absolute Humidity areas 252,685 These are the totals, which include about 99,000 previously recalled. GM knows of no field issues - irregular deployments - with these air bag inflators.
