I've owned the 01, 6 cylinder convertable since 02

I've had the car a long time and it's been my daily driver. I've lusted after the WS6 for a long time. About a month and a half ago I was telling my wife about a 02 WS6 Collectors Addition with 27k miles on it in Dallas. She told me to go get it. I flew in and bought it and drove it 1,200 miles home. I really like my firebird. I'm in love with the WS6!! It gets very good mileage for the size of the engine. It can get over 110 mph very very quickly. And the ride is better than I could have imagined. I thought it would be like my normal car. It isn't.. Its the same but different. I can't describe it. It had blown speakers when I bought it. I put an upgraded system in it regardless of it being a collectors add.. I doubt I'll ever sell it.. And now it has the nice mp3 connections and everything you'd expect with an upgraded system with an added base speaker. I can't say enough about this car.. I was going to use it as a daily driver but after I 1st drove it I realized I had to keep my old car as the daily driver and allow this one to be the fun car! Its beautiful!

I have always been a huge fan of the Firebird and while I own an older 1991 it did not deter me in any way from acquiring a (sister) for her.Not only is the handling in this little beauty as good as it could be it get's better the body style, engine and comfort FAR outweigh anything I could have imagined. .I test drove a '91 when they first came out and scared the wits out of the poor dealer at the time so now naturally I own one.I get a lot of compliments on my older one and I have to admit I do prefer my older one but for sheer horse power and comfort I have to say you people at Pontiac DON'T horse around when it comes to STYLE!! Keep up the great work!!

It is the best car to drive. fuel economy is great when you consider the power it puts out. it is very comfortable for 2 passengers and the t- tops are great, you essentially get a convertable without convertable problems. The price was great when you think of what you can get in that size for that price. A vw bettle?

One of the best cars ever built

This was my very first car when I turned 16. When we got the car it had a spun bearing (which is very common for the 3800 series 2 due to the low oil pressure it runs) so me and my dad rebuilt the engine. It drove amazing both before and after our modifications. We put a Comp Cams cam shaft in it, boosted the compression ratio to 10.3 to 1, shaved the heads down, and got a sweet tune from Intense Racing. From the interior of this car to the exterior, it is a very sweet ride. The curves of the car make it stand out among all these newer cars. There's nobody out there making a sports car any where near as nice as this one. I wish they would bring it back!!!

I've had it 3 months....it sat at the dealership for 6 months for some reason. Midlife crisis caused me to by it. It is fast as hell.
