Vehicle Description
2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
In 1992 the Pontiac division of GM changed its decade old theme
line from "We build excitement" to "We are driving excitement."
This new campaign shifted emphasis from overall branding to
supporting individual models. The common denominator defining
Pontiac as a brand since 1982 is the notion that Pontiac both
symbolized and actualized excitement. For consignment, a chance to
put yourself in the seat where you will be driving excitement! This
is in the form of a 2002 Firebird Trans Am collector's edition.
Approximately a mere 2,391 units were produced, (1,396 manual, 995
automatic), and this one is a completely stock and well-maintained
vehicle with only 4,231 original miles! A beautiful coat of Sunfire
Yellow with ebony trim combination, and I'm excited!
Exterior
Making use of a curvaceous surface, this car appears to be moving
when standing still. From its shapely integrated bumper with fog
lights, turn signals and air intakes, it seamlessly moves into the
hood. Up here we are greeted with more air intakes, bulbous hidden
headlights, and a dual cowl hood scoop complete with dual screaming
chickens and licking flames heading towards the windshield in
multiple shades of gray. Speaking of the windshield it has a major
swept back rake to it and adds to the Rubenesque line when viewed
from the sides. More air intakes, good gaps, and some sweeping
graphics are seen here. The large black B pillar supports a swept
back curved rear window, and this makes its way under an integrated
tail spoiler. More round design on the rear honeycomb taillights,
and another curved integrated bumper and we have a thing of
undulating Sunfire Yellow beauty.
Interior
Popping off the smoked glass "T" tops we can venture inside to a
world of more curved surfaces in the form of black leather covered
power bucket seats up front and a dual bucket setup in the rear.
All this leather is in good condition showing slight wear on the
bolster areas. The buckets flank a sweeping forward black console
which houses a large glove box/armrest and the black leather booted
and topped Hurst shifter. The undulating dash, in black, houses the
instrument panel, a banging Delco radio/ CD player with equalizer
and 10 speakers strategically placed to rock your world. This radio
can be controlled by the steering wheel so you can continue your
cruise while changing the tunes. Nice black carpet covers the
floors. Also, some gauges are located with the A pillar on the
driver's side.
Drivetrain
With Ram Air and a performance handling package, this healthy mill
can take you down the road at exciting speed. Rated at 5.7 liters,
this LS1 with electronic fuel injection and sports an aftermarket
supercharger, and a T56 6-speed manual transmission throwing power
back to a RPO coded GU6 3.42 posi rear axle will have you up to
speed in no time. Exhaling is through headers, and SLP Loudmouth
mufflers.
Undercarriage
Save for some usual surface rust on uncoated suspension parts, it
could be considered factory underneath, with great structural
integrity, super clean floor pans, and a straight frame. A low
restriction exhaust, traction control, independent front and torque
arm rear suspension both with coil springs, and power disc brakes
all around. I'm now past excitement nearly to the point of
delirium. Cue the yellow overspray from the factory!!
Drive-Ability
Turning the key will ignite the candles immediately. This car has
plenty of power, rides very nicely, and has an ergonomically
comfortable interior setup for the driver. A flip of the traction
control switch and you get a whole different ride. Great airflow
without the smoked glass t-top panels installed.
Well maintained, and looking good, one cannot go wrong with this
collector's edition 6-speed beauty. 17" black coated 5 spoke wheels
with high performance tires, plenty of conveniences, and the
removable "T" top. We have produced exhilaration, well beyond the
bounds of excitement! NURSE!! Time to change my diaper, the decoder
just took me for a test drive. (Tongue in cheek!)
