"LOTB" 2K2 WS.6 A4 by Larry

The 2002 model year is the last year for the f-bodies, therefore, I bought a 2002 Trans Am WS.6 before they become scarce. I loved the looks of Trans Ams and especially WS.6 models. This is my 4th f-body, previously owned 1988 Camaro 5SPD.[305v8], 1994 Z28-6SPD., 1995 Trans Am-6SPD., 1996 Z28-6SPD. and will say this is by far the best in looks, pure speed, handling-(275-40ZR17 wheels and tires sure help) and getting a thumbs up from other motorists. I was looking for a 6speed but got a great deal on an auto[4L60E] in arctic white that I couldn't pass up. Interior has fighter jet cockpit sensation, 500 watt monsoon audio. Got 25mpg-Greenville NC. to Erie PA. No problems as of 30k miles.
GM's Huge Mistake

This car is the performance bargain of a lifetime. A car that out performs cars costing twice as much, along with it's menacing head-turning looks, how can you go wrong? Anyone who has the means and the opportunity to own this car would be doing themselves a huge favor to check it out. Once you drive it you'll understand. Why anyone would choose the uglier, boxy, slower Mustang is beyond me. GM's decision to end the Firebird/Camaro is a true shame. Pontiac is left with nothing but boring cars with body cladding.

Power everywhere in my 2002 TRANS AM WS6

If you are looking for a true high performance vehicle, you have to check out the WS6 Trans AM! My car has the 6-speed tranny and the evil 5.7L LS1 V8. GM rates the horsepower at 325 and torque at 350lbs. I have seen dynos that show 310-320+ horsepower to the rear wheels. This means the car is actually producing 360-375 HP at the flywheel. The car has very comfortable seating with lots of front leg room but not so much in the rear. My car also gets on average 20 mpg in the city. Not bad for a hot rod. One thing that I really like about my car is that it's a very rare car.
Still the best bang for the buck

Amazing acceleration from the 345hp/350lb-ft LS1 engine let's the V8 equipped Firebird's (and Camaro's) solidly take top honors for factory performance for the money. 0-60 in just over 5 seconds in the slowest form for mid $20k is unbelievable. Interior and exterior design is amazing, with the only commonly voiced complaint being that the doors are to long and heavy. Build quality is typical domestic fare, with plenty of plastic bits and cheap looks - But everything fits tight and is easy to reach/operate from the driver's seat.

With all the kids in college it was time to get rid of the minivan. We always wanted a vet but could never see spending all that cash. Never was a Ford man, so the Mustang wasn't an option. Then saw the Ram Air hood and that sold us. Looks were the biggest thing, the fact that it was fast, had the same engine as the vet and was about $20k less, sealed the deal. The last of a dying breed, but we love it. If we have to take somebody with us, they can squeeze in the back, too.
