**This car comes with a transferrable warranty through Warranty
Direct until June 2018** "You had me at hello." was the movie line
of 1996 in Jerry Maquire and "totally" applies to this time capsule
1996 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 Ram Air Performance Package. With only
23,017 miles and limited production numbers of only 2105 makes this
pretty beast of a Pontiac pretty rare. But let's forget the rarity
of the car for a moment and the fact that the manufacturer doesn't
even exist any longer - and let's talk about what is sitting
outside. The curvy and seductive lines are classic Pontiac. Stance
is low and daring, European but with American muscle. A view from
the nose can only be described as menacing. The Fire Hawk inspired
duel snorkel hood is only accented by what clearly looks like
airplane landing lights nestled front and center. Closer inspection
reveals �Ram Air' inscription placed curiously non intrusive in
matching body color lettering. In fact all lettering, Pontiac,
Trans Am and Ram Air are all body color matching in Arctic White
and blend right in with a 3d effect, until you reach the rear.
There is no doubt this sexy beast wants you to know it is WS6
Performance Package, blazingly displayed in a red and gold emblem.
Yes, you're looking at a car that can do 0-60 in 5.8 seconds with a
top speed of about 160mph and that's stock - from 20 years ago! The
mighty LT1 5.7 Liter 350 Cubic Inch V8 with new this year less
restrictive exhaust system incorporating duel cats instead of the
previous single canister. With the Pontiac Only Ram Air option
horsepower muscled out another 20 horses to a venomous 305 HP and
335 pounds of torque, proud numbers even in today's environment.
The 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission shifts and handles the
performance as it should. The only way to get the Ram Air engine
was to order the Ram Air WS6 Performance and Handling Package, a
$4,000 increase over the Firebird price. Both of these names were
synonyms with Pontiac Performance from years past but not recently
used. The WS6 meant stiffer suspension, steering and four wheel
disc brakes that made the Trans Ams of the 70's America's best
handling car of its time. This 1996 Trans Am exceeds all
expectations with stiffer tubular front anti-roll bar, higher -rate
springs, firmer transmission mount and Panhard-rod bushings with
appropriate tuned shocks. The Ram Air Trans Am wasn't seen since
the 60's. Borrowing right from the SLP Firehawk a set of 17x9
wheels wrapped in 275/40ZR17 Goodyear GS-C rubber added to top
flight handling. It's also the first year an F-body was fitted with
17" rims. The American Muscle car with European handling complete
with air bags, anti lock brakes, AM/FM and CD player stereo with
equalizer. Lumbar support- power seats, power door locks, power
windows, tilt wheel, keyless entry, anti-theft system and T-TOPS!
So, we know it's fast, looks cool, will be a blast to drive and be
seen in. With just a hair over 23,000 miles this could be your
everyday driver for years at well under the cost of a new Hyundai.
Or it's the weekend cruiser, knowing the value of the no longer
produced Trans Am is only increasing. Or do both, just make sure
when you see other Trans Am owners you say �hello'. To view this
