Arguably, the single most aggressively designed front end ever made for a production car, this 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 represents the final year of not only the fourth generation of these cars, but also the last time we have seen the Firebird to date. With just 35,229 actual miles on its odometer, this WS6's original Pewter Metallic still looks excellent, helped by its partial black front-end wrap. With its red accents, upgraded wheels, and best-of-both-worlds T-tops, this Trans Am is poised to perform for its next owner.
Inside, we find an original black leather interior. A center storage console separates a pair of supportive bucket seats, while a slick short-throw shifter shows off the Firebird logo. A 7,000 rpm tachometer and 150 mph speedometer sit front and center of the driver, each flanked by a pair of auxiliary gauges. The stereo has been upgraded to an Alpine double-DIN touchscreen unit that offers satellite radio and navigation. A power driver's seat, power locks, windows, and mirrors, along with traction control, air conditioning, and cruise control, add all the amenities anyone could ask for in a modern muscle car.
Under that functional Ram Air hood, we find a 5.7-liter LS1 V-8 engine. With its aluminum block and heads, and composite intake manifold, this small block was capable of making an underrated 325 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 350 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm right off the assembly line. This car adds a Fast 92mm intake manifold, long-tube headers, high-flow cats, and deletes the factory air intake silencers in favor of a high-flow SLP air lid. Power is routed through a six-speed manual transmission before heading out to the 3.23-geared Positraction rear end, which transfers that muscle to the pavement via a set of polished 17-inch American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels shod in 275/40ZR-17 Michelin Pilot Sport tires all around.

This 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 rides on an upgraded suspension that features a full UMI performance rear setup. Tubular trailing arms, a transmission tunnel brace, as well as Koni shocks and springs at all four corners, help this T-Bird fly around the twists and turns far better than even the stock WS6 suspension could handle. Four-wheel power disc brakes, highlighted by a set of cross-drilled and slotted rotors at the rear, stand ready to scrub off speed at a moment's notice. If you want to own one of, if not the most visually intimidating production car to ever appear in anyone's rearview mirror, this modified, low-mileage WS6 is the modern muscle car you've been waiting for. Don't wait, call today!
