I am a car guy who has owned over 30 different cars over the last 20 years. All I can say is WOW! This WS6 TA rules the road. I can't believe Pontiac screwed up the marketing so bad. This is an awesome ride. It is blistering fast and can hold four people. It is the closest thing to flying a jet fighter and can still get 26 MPG. I can't praise its handling enough. Mine ran a 13.10 and it is totally stock and I had never raced before. Pontaic under rated the horse power for sure!

This is the best possible car you could ever own. The leahter interior is breathtaking and the new body kit is just the most amazing thing you could ever possibly see. The reliability is just awsome and the build quality is a guaranteed perfect 10. Oh and the performance can almost beat anything out there.

Nice car. I hope to drive this till it drops. I have a peppy 6cyl convertible. Very tight. speedy and responsive. It is beyond me why this car didn't sell better.

I was very happy got a great deal on my car. It's a true performance bargain and so much fun to drive. Turns heads wherever I go and gets over 30mpg in 6th gear on the highway - a nice feature these days! Cruising around with the top down this summer was awesome. It's the best car I've ever bought. I much prefer the instant torque of the LS1 to any turbocharged import. The car is easy to work on and upgrade, if desired. I'm happy with mine as it is but I did upgrade the stereo. The one in the vert is rather puny compared to the coupe's. Then again, who needs a stereo when the car sounds this good. American muscle at its finest. Highly recommended but don't forget that radar detector!

I purchased my car new and have had problems since the third month of ownership. Battery was leaking acid after a few months of ownership. Continuous electrical issues; I had the engine compartment fuel box replaced, I'm always replacing fuses. Calalytic converter has been replaced after few months of ownership...is broken again. Was getting 19/29m/p/g now gets 8 m/p/g. Engine noises, nocking noises, fuel intake issues; the interior door panel split. Poor support from Pontiac/GM. I have a stack of services/repair invoices over an inch thick. It's sad because it was my dream car.

I had looked into purchasing a Trans Am
in the fall of 2002. However, at the
inflated prices they were asking, I
couldn't fit this purchase into my
budget. In February 2003, a local
Pontiac dealer still had a WS6
convertible 6-speed left on the lot
that they were practically giving away.
Needless to say, it soon found a home
in my garage. No regrets whatsoever on
this purchase. Incredible car in all
aspects. This car brings back fond
memories of the 1969 Plymouth
Roadrunner 383 4-speed I owned in my
youth. Except it is faster, more
comfortable, handles 100 times better,
and gets 20-22 mpg. What more needs to
be said?

I have had many delightfull times with
my convertable,it is part of a long line
of Pontiac convertables i have owned.
To me its a shame they have discontinued
this line of cars. This current car has
performed up to all of my expectations
it is truly an american sports car.

Always wanted it, finally got it. 2002
Conv, only V6, but still love her.
Cant find a better looking car under
100000 if you ask me. Fun to drive,
and with spring coming, looking forward
to the top down and driving for days.

As everyone else said I love this
car. I had to buy one before they
were all sold out. I was fortunate
enough to get my paws on one in a
different state and had it shipped to
the motor city. I went with black on
black on black. This car is out of
hand. Every where I go people tell me
how much they like it. You don't see
many of these babies on the road. To
all you TA owners hold on to them.
