2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 Coupe

Description

The 2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 stands as one of the last great American muscle cars before the platform's discontinuation in 2002. Under the hood sat the LS1 5.7-liter V8, borrowed from the C5 Corvette, producing 320 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque in WS6 spec—numbers that felt almost illicit for a car carrying such a reasonable price tag.

The WS6 package addedRam Air induction functional hood scoop feeding cold air directly to the throttle body, stiffer springs, and larger sway bars. It could sprint to 60 mph in the low 5-second range—almost supercar territory for the era.

This 2001 WS6 from the penultimate year of Trans Am production shows less than 43,900 miles and is said to be very original. It’s finished in Bright Red with a contrasting Ebony leather interior and has the famed T-Top option. Best of all is the WS6 Performance Package with, among other things, that menacing Ram Air hood good for an additional 15 hp over the standard LS1.

This 2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 is now offered with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
