Vehicle Description
It shouldn't be a surprise that this absolutely viscous, low-mile
2000 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a full-blow classic car these
days. The GM Sebring Silver Metallic paint is simply jaw-dropping
wrapped around an aggressive body kit that transforms the car into
a snarling, sinister street fighter begging for a challenge. With a
powerful 5.7L LS1 V8 under the hood, a performance-built 4-speed
automatic w/overdrive handling the precise gearshifts, and an
upgraded, pro-street style suspension, this 4th generation T/A has
earned its rightful position among American muscle car royalty.
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 a flashy shade of paint, and factory
Code 9966 Sebring Silver Metallic was an excellent choice on such a
sexy design, as it only enhances, not overshadows, the beautifully
sculpted T/A design and all its dynamic lines. Remarkably, this T/A
is still wearing its original finish, which proves beyond a doubt
that this beauty has been absolutely babied throughout the 53,514
miles that it's been driven. It's even shinier in person than in
our pictures, with light seeming to dance off the panels, and the
only real imperfections we could find were TINY chips on the lower
front end. Certainly nothing that takes away from the killer curb
appeal of this coupe, which includes striking lower-body ground
effects, that aggressive and fully functional Ram Air hood, fender
vents, and the big spoiler and lower diffuser out back. When all
those slick elements work together on a lowered T/A body, 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 angles and curves. It's incredibly
cool.
The interior is mostly stock, but the Pontiac designers got it
right on the first try. Supportive black leather buckets anchor the
interior, and the elegant hides (complete with custom
'WS6'embroidery in the headrests) are in great shape with only a
few comfort marks on the driver's chair. The center console, wide
dashboard, and other trim bits are in very good condition, with
only a couple small cracks on the stock door panels to report.
Custom carbon-fiber accents in the center stack, console, and door
panels add a touch of performance inside, and because the work was
done right it will never look dated. As Pontiac's top-of-the-line,
it's also loaded with cold A/C, power windows, locks, seats, and
mirrors, cruise control, a tilt wheel, and a comprehensive factory
gauge package ahead of the driver that's been augmented with a trio
of aftermarket dials incorporated into the driver's A-pillar.
There's a stock 500-watt Pontiac Monsoon stereo system in the
center of the dash that still sounds great, and with standard dual
airbags and ABS brakes, you can actually feel confident when
banging through corners in this delightful monster. Add in plush
carpets and matching floor mats, tinted windows, a neatly finished
trunk with accessory mat, and the original darkly tinted T-top
inserts, and you get a car that's ready for summer fun.
The 5.7L LS1 V8 engine became famous overnight, and anyone who
worried about the passing of the small block torch need not have
been concerned. Its aluminum construction shaved precious pounds
from the nose of the car, while it cranked out more power than any
small block in history. The engine bay has been dressed for show,
with custom WS6 valve covers, miscellaneous performance decals, an
SLP air collector with a K&N air filter. An additional cold air
induction set up in the lower front grill pushes more cold air into
the ported throttle body intake and LS6 intake manifold. Gorgeous
paint and mirrors under the hood mean this baby wants to be shown
off, and when the key cranks the Borla 304 exhaust system with
electric cut-outs kicks in from the Custom American Racing Headers,
crowds quickly gather. The 4-speed automatic is performance built
with a 3600-stall convertor and auxiliary trans cooler to better
handle the LS power, and it snaps off quick shifts but is still a
great cruiser that pulls down decent MPGs. The car's been lowered
1-inch, and the performance-spec suspension includes Hotchkis
upgrades, subframe connectors, front strut tower, adjustable shocks
with a driveshaft safety loop to help plant it to the road, with
responsive power steering and power 4-wheel disc brakes giving this
beast rather pleasant road manners. Underneath, it's obvious that
this car has never been mistreated and it wears flashy chrome
wheels wrapped in staggered 245/40/18 front and 285/40/18 rear
Nitto blackwall radials.
