Vehicle Description
It shouldn't be a surprise that this built 1999 Pontiac Trans Am is
a screaming bargain. The GM Super Sparkle 2 paint is simply
jaw-dropping and with a built LS-based stroker motor inside what
has turned out to be the ultimate version of the Trans Am, it's a
big performer that more than delivers on the promises made by its
outrageous bodywork.
The Trans Am had it all: looks, handling, and horsepower, but
there's nothing so good that it can't be made better. The swoopy
Trans Am shape just begs for an upgrade, so this car was refinished
using glittering GM Super Sparkle 2 paint, which gives it a silver
glow that's deeper than most of the stuff you see on these cars
today. And with a set of subtle blue ghost flames, the effect is
simply jaw-dropping in person and you'll probably find yourself
walking around the car over and over to watch the way the light
plays over the car's curves. It's very cool. Underneath that paint
there's unmarked sheetmetal and plastic and few custom touches like
the Breathless Performance faired-in headlights that replace the
original pop-ups. The chin spoiler and factory fascia includes
round fog lamps and the nostrils up top feed a functional ram air
system. Yes, it's outrageous, but it's not over-done.
The interior is mostly stock, but the Pontiac designers got it
right on the first try. Supportive gray leather buckets anchor the
interior, and the hides are in excellent shape with only a few
comfort marks on the driver's chair. The console, dashboard, and
other trim bits are in very good condition with only a small crack
on the dash on the passenger's side. As Pontiac's top-of-the-line,
it's also loaded with A/C, power windows, locks, seats, and
mirrors, cruise control, a tilt wheel, and a comprehensive gauge
package, which now features white faced instruments. A slick
aluminum shifter manages the 6-speed manual transmission and a pair
of auxiliary gauges were added on the A-pillar. There's a new Sony
stereo system in the center of the dash, along with some custom
switchgear on the console to add to the high performance vibe. Add
in the WS-6 logo floor mats, a neatly finished trunk with accessory
mat, and the original T-top inserts, and you get a car that's ready
for summer fun.
This Trans Am isn't merely pretty. No, there's a custom-built 408
cubic inch LS2 living under the hood, transforming this into a
serious threat on the street. Based on an LS2 block and filled with
an Eagle forged stroker crank and rods, aluminum 11:1 pistons, and
a set of L92 rectangle port heads, it's got the hardware inside to
be reliable and powerful. The Comp Cams camshaft is radical enough
to give it a nice lope but it has great street manners, and the
fuel injection uses a GM Performance LS3 intake with 42-lb. hr.
injectors and a Nick Williams 90 mm throttle body. On the dyno, it
makes 538 horsepower and 472 pounds of torque. The RPM racing
6-speed manual transmission doesn't balk at the added horsepower
running through it, and the suspension has been beefed up with
upgraded suspension components tubular engine cradle, custom upper
and lower control arms, and subframe connectors. Out back there's
an aluminum drive shaft, Moser 12-bolt rear end with 35-spline
axles and 4.10 gears, along with a set of upgraded disc brakes.
Gorgeous Corvette Z06 alloy wheels are fitted all around, carrying
staggered 18-inch Goodyear performance rubber.
Seriously fast, totally sorted, and still great to look at, this
Trans Am delivers everything you'd expect from Pontiac's flagship
performance car. And at this price, it's also an amazing bargain.
