Ultimate Driving Machine
The Pontiac Formula/Trans Am is the ultimate driving machine. If you are an enthusiast who loves speed and power this car is for you. When driving down the road, you will get looks from just about anyone because of the sleek design. Mine is the Navy Blue Metallic, so I get comments about it looking like the Batmobile. I haven't found anything wrong with it yet. The Bird is definitely the top in it's class. p.s. Mustangs & Camaros suck.
fast for a V6
fun car to drive! this thing handles like a dream! the v6 is reasonable fast for a v6 but a LeBaron is faster in a straight line. there is a few things I don't like though, in the dry I can floor it and it well not do a burn out! however in the ran this thing is a drift car! but I have really good tires on it. I rated the "reliability" so low so because the check engine light come on every time it hits 5500 rpm which is no were near the 6100 rev limiter

Fun to drive/ride
I've had a 5.0 Mustang. I've had a 4.6 & 4.7 Mustang. I've had 91 camaro with a 350. They were fun cars. The PONTIAC TRANS AM. The best car I've ever owned or driven. I used to work at a Porsche Dealership. I have driven the Porsche 911 twin turbo. Its a nice car. If they were both evenly matched in price...................... It wouldn't be a second though. I would pick the TRANS AM (with the WS6 Package of course!!!)
Some good some bad
WS6 Trans-Am The Bad Interior cheap. Dash cracked. Passenger window rolls down slow. Drivers side door cracking (molding). Service engine light (bad air-pump). Poor excuse for traction control. Clutch slips when "performing" with too much weight (people in car). Stock tires crap! Speakers went POOOF! Rotors warped (110-0 doe!). "Backfire" noise when cold (lack of back pressure). Hate the skip-shift. The Good Hard hitting, throat tearing raw torque. My 6sp hurst shifted trans-am hits hard when I put it to the floor (new tires). Performs well around corners for the size of the car, suspension is stiff. Handles nice at high speeds 100+.
heads turn
The vehicle is garage kept, and used only in the spring and summer which is why the mileage is so low. The color is pewter, the interior is black leather. It is an automatic. The only problem is the insurance because my son is on the family insurance policy. He is 19 and even though he doesn't drive it, the insurance company lists him as as occasional driver. It is the best sports vehicle we ever owned.
