Featured and up for sale in our Orlando Florida showroom is this
time capsule 1996 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 Ram Air Performance
Package. With only 22,183 miles 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 Black 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 6 Speed Manual
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 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
22,000 miles this could be your everyday driver for years at Or
it's the weekend cruiser, knowing the value of the no longer
produced Trans Am is only increasing. All it needs is a new owner
