Used 2000 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Consumer Reviews
1 Tough Bird
well, to start this out, this is the 3rd firebird i have owned. the 1st was a 85 se w/ a 305 4bbl. the next ( a mutt) a 93 w/ a 3.4l (what were they thinking? ) and this one, a 2k w/ a LS1 5.7L monster with a 6 speed and the ws6 package to keep it on the road. to make this story short, buy one even if you cant afford it. i havent owned it very long yet, but its just like i just turned 16 again. you cant drive it enough, and if the road is curvey, its even better.
Let the muscle car live....
I've had nothing but fun with my Ram Air. Since I've bought it, all I've had to do is change the oil; and tires of course :)

I LOVE MY CAR
This is the third Firebird I've ordered. Two Formulas and now a WS6 Trans Am. All of them Black. All of them 6-speeds. This car is SO bad. Power/fun/adrenaline/class! It's my baby and I love it!! It's spotless and looks brand new. Sounds awesome with just the back seat down and a Holley Power Shot air filter! I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY QUIT MAKING THEM! What will I do????
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+.
