I love the way these Trans Ams look with the headlights down. It's like a sleeping beast waiting to be awaken.
This video was uploaded 9 years ago. They were asking 12,500 and now these cars are worth a lot more now. I believe you can get 25k for this TA now. I still have mine and every time I take it out for. Spin, someone wants to buy it from me! Was worth keeping it after 21 years. 🙌🏻
@@zealandwylie489 yes if want to buy a V6 Firebird and with high mileage. Also, if you put an LS1 engine you better change everything from brakes to suspension to handle all that power. You remind me of them V6 mustang owners that can’t afford a V8 so they beef up their V6s. 🤣🤣
I still see a lot locally on Offer up, Craigslist for 7,500 to 25,000 pretty good condition.
@@JR-jk5wz Hey what's wrong with gunning for the V6, used Mustang V8 prices have gone absolutely fucktard with a 140,000+ miles V8 SN95 costing between $15,000 to $20,000 in my area. V8s are nice but that's a bit much. Although I ain't gonna, even V6s have gone for the sky with a 140,000+ mile V6 SN95 Stang costing $7000 to $13,000. Seriously, where are those fairytale days when an old clunker V8 Stang or Camaro could be had for under $5000???
There's too many mustangs. Pontiac is gone for five years, the last year for Trans Ams are 2002. This car will easily be a collectors car in the near future.
I always thought they would be collectors cars eventually
It's sad that the junkyards were full of these , no one really took care of them , these cars had beautiful lines , I think I will look for another one
You called it. Prices jumped on these
I'm tryna get one but I can't😔
Called it
I’m here 7 years later… it already has. It’s raised in value. I was curious and was looking at some, a 99’ with 45k miles was $22k but it was babied by the owner.
Good ol Pontiac, American muscle will always reign supreme..
zbib43 agreed!
Hola en donde lo bendes enk parte
The people at that dealership are questionable they playin Christmas songs in February
This was my dream car from about 1996-2002. Then, out of some weird "look what I got!" moment… my aunt… who was rich at the time… bought one of these… all because I said it was the coolest car. My aunt was strange like that. She would go out and buy whatever other people would say is cool just to show off to them. She's broke now.
I remember when I was 6 my Dad owned one and it was Beautiful. Sounded loud, had plenty of power and he was the only parent who had the fastest car at my school
let me guess he revved it?
my dad had the Trans Am Firehawk same thing but a little more power. I used to get carsick in the back lol.
+DOOM Guy those seats where small and they still are
+Justin.R Gaming Play every single day
I just now got a 2002 ws6 my self I gotta say I'm in love with it
Congratulations on finding true love! I hope to acquire one of my own some day!
looks so much better in black...beautiful car either way.
brian centi black, and sunset orange metallic. Red, and white are no slouch either.
Red color is fire! Sticks out more in the daytime. But you are correct, these beasts are a thing of beauty!
Brings back memories. Continuous failing window regulators, headlight motors, seat belt guides that pull out of the seats, AC knobs that break off in your hands, all in one turn signal stock with a quarter inch of play in every direction, big play school buttons, the hump in the passenger footwell. But the T-Tops, engine, and transmission made this generation of fbody fun!
Rick James my god those window regulators were an absolute excercise in futility to replace.
@Rick James: That's all part of its charm...
oh the damn headlight motors........damn if those didn't result in all cars having fixed headlamps
Lol dealing with that now. My drivers side headlamp is making a horrible loud sound when I close them. I know it’s only a matter of time ugh!
In all its awesome LS1-powered glory, God created the Trans Am WS6
Actually Pontiac created it
+The Zephyr Productions same thing
Awesome car. I still have mine! Bought it in 2000 and has 81k miles. Still runs the same as it did the first day I purchased it. My FAV car ever…
This is a dream car
this is my (realistic) dream car, fucking amazing piece of work. saving hard for one now, time for the big boy whip!!!!
Same here man
I've outgrown my 99 LeSabre and I need to get a real "excitement" car. I'm a young adult now and I consider my car to be a young man's car. I'm saving up for one. Maybe might get this but I have other options
Same. I'm a college student working full time over the summers to save for one. Gonna keep it until the day I die.
Zach Weibel With the value it's going to have in 30 years you might get rid of it
I bought one myself about 6 months ago. A 2002 ws6 auto pewter. Looks just like this. Was 1-owner, 70k miles. Got it for 12k. I'm a college student myself, with insurance maxed out coverage and the car payment it's only $400 a month. So completely reasonable.
It's a shame they don't make them anymore. Trans Am is my Favorite car.
Same
lol this shit only cost 1000 in miami wtf
Keep dreaming. This is a 2002 WS6 6 speed, and it's super clean. I'd give 12.5k on the spot.
+Jeff Gordon I was thinking the same exact thing
id give them 13.5k
10 years ago it was $12.500 now it’s $40K wow
Are 2002 WS6 really $40k now? I would think $25k and under
12,500? I'd buy that in a SECOND!
LS1 f-bodys go for 15,000+ in California.
ouch.. i can find one under 10grand no problem
Snap Clap
I've been looking in cali for a while now.
every WS6 6speed s 14K+
Perhaps because California cars last longer due 2 soft weather.
ahh, you didnt verify a ws6. those are harder to find under 10, but i can find a normal trans am (f-body ls1 still.) for closer to 6-7 grand with under 100,000miles
Snap Clap
I hate the non WS6 hood.
+ the WS6 models are the ones gaining value.
true, to each his own. i personally would buy this car to drive not to hold onto for value apperciation. id probably just get a trans am n put a ws6 hood on it, UNLESS i could find a ws6 for 10grand or less
My literal dream car!!! Wish I could own one of these cool machines!
You can, these are very affordable sports/muscle cars
Snap Clap Ya I have been doing some searching for one but, as a poor student I can't afford one at the moment. Once I graduate (4 years from now) and get the job I am hoping for I am going to get my hands on one of these.
Haha me too man! I was 13 in '02 and i remember my good buddies older brother and all his friends had cool cars. One guy, Brett, had this beautiful black 02 trans am. We all used to just stare and home for a ride to the football games in it lol.
One day I'm gonna get one
TobiasonGaming you'll get it man stay determined
Do you have one yet??
The Power Of The Engine Just Transfers Into The *CABNET* In Such A Powerful Way.
the only thing I hate about the car is the steering wheel. it's shaped like a 300 pound woman.
I own this same car except its black and I've put alot of aftermarket work to it, but I keep thinking about this comment every single time because it is 100% true
Evelyn Monroe I used to own one; a 98 none WS6. I never have high expectations for the interior design and build quality of era specific GM product; what drove me nuts was the hump on the passenger side floor well. My goodness did I stare at that in disbelief for countless thousands of miles.
@@LynxStarAuto i think that was due to the catalytic converter on the lt1, the ls1 removed that and they never took the hump off, hell knows why.
For one reason or another there's some fat people who drive this car
airbag cover resembles her arse cheeks
I absolutely love them dressed in Black! The 2002 Pontiac Trans Am SLP WS6 is one mean, gorgeous, sexy looking machine! Just by how it looks, the design and curves are time less! Everytime I see one rollin through town, I get an immediate adrenaline rush, especially the few times that I've actually got to see Firehawks! I'm great full for the two different hands on experience being behind the wheel of a 2000 Trans Am and a 1999 WS6, both were M6s. It was absolute adrenaline rush the entire time! The 2002 Pontiac Trans Am SLP WS6 being my all time dream car, I'd lose my mind the day one's title is in my name, I'd go insane...one day...one day...some day...soon...I'll get me one...that is dark as night...riding under the moon.
The 2002 WS6 bits were not made by SLP... You might be thinking of the Firehawk.
@@hotchalupa Says "SLP" on air cleaner...
That's one thing about trans ams I love, the sound!
Mine is darker silver, i added a SLP filter which adds about 15 HP and have Borla exhaust, gotta say I love my Ram Air and will never let it go, and definitely recommend it to anyone interested.
I been wanting one of these beauties since I was in high school. I'm actually considering getting one before they're all gone.
They're never all gone long as you got money they have them sitting in warehouses brand new for $50,000, 2000 miles on the odometer
Wish pontiac was still around to continue this car :/
They are not around for a reason, no one buys their crappy cars
jim brady You moron Pontiac was just a brand name the Fbody was a US car. Most Pontiacs were rebadged Holdens, Vauxalls, and Opels.So if you feel there crappy the Australians and Europeans seem to liked them. The LT and LS motors are still the greatest V8s known to man. The world speed record is held by a car with the same block as this WS6.
I totally agree !!! It was such an iconic brand GM should be ashamed. I Understood why they did away with Oldsmobile, Hummer, Saturn but c'mon Knight rider, Smokey and the bandit, the GTO had its own theme song. GM spend all its time building and marketing Suburbans and Tahoes and forgot about evolving there cars. The Ws6 which was an awesome car in its own right was built on a 11 year old chassis.
tingokuman Turns out GM fought to keep Pontiac going, but the government made them stop production.
Danny Contreras Blame Obama
Like because it's a great car and it's manual.
I don't want a Ferrari, I couldn't care less about a Lamborghini. I won't bother putting a dumb looking spoiler on a lowered Toyota corolla with low profile rims nor a dumb racing exhaust on a Mustang.
Give me one of these and I'm as happy as can be!
+Charles Randolph Fuck. Yes. *Drools*
👍
***** screw that! If I'm gonna spend that kind of money, My choice of vehicle would be something you could live in like a Luxury motorhome! Not something that "can" go fast but not legally on most roads!
I agree with everything you said my friend. But, give me the Bandit up until the '81 Trans Am. After then the Trans Am went to hell. But I'll allow an '88
Get one! I found myself a '97 WS6 M6 with T-tops in dark green metallic.. oh I love it
Wow. Thanks Kyle, I still remember my 1998 Firebird..I had to settle or that because insurance rates for the TransAm WS6 was out of control! Still it remains an American muscle car classic!
i have a 2002 ws6 its dark blue and i love it
That's what I'm after... 2002 6MT WS6 Navy Blue
Those WS6s are awesome! Love that kind! Great vid as always Kyle!
I'm getting one of these soon with the LT1. I can't wait! I've always wanted a car like this! Pure American muscle!
love these cars. i will hopefully have one before the end of next summer
Wow now thats what im talking about ! 💛 love this car ! Thanks for this car review.
The Pontiac Trans Am will always be my favorite car! Thanks for uploading, saabkyle04! :-D
Love the Ram airs look and sound! Nice one.. 👌
I have a red 02 ws6 and it's really beautiful
Once again kyle, great job. Very informative. Please do some more older cars soon if possable. Thanks again. Looking forword to the next video...
That chime and engine roar brings me memories of my two LS1 Trans Am's ;-(
That's the most beautiful car I have EVER seen!
Finally! I've been waiting awhile for this one!
Love this car!
Wow, practically immaculate! No dash pad cracks, only 1 door panel cracked...it does have the evil faded passenger tails, but that's small peas. Have to boast mine sounds better, though. >:) Go Borla!
very goo review i cant find any trans ams near any dealers near me so this was the second best thing from actually sitting in the car myself
I want one so bad. It would make a great first car for me. V-8. Rear wheel drive. Manual. Tough steering. And great looks.
The exact same reasons I want this car
I'd prefer and older year model, but whatever works
I don't know about 12K for it though. It seems a bit much.
Lucas Streeval for a low mile one its worth more if you ask me
The Bell Guy 12k is nothing lucky this car aint priced at 15k easy this car is the best. get one if you cant lmao
One of my favorite discontinued Pontiacs besides the G8 Gt. Still want to get my hands on one.
i know right there beatuiful
hey kyle!! Please review the early 80s Trans Am!! I love that one!!
That is a real Badass car
Great in depth review!
Must've taken this video a while ago seeing as all I want for christmas is you is playing in the background haha
You have inspired me so now I will become a car review person lets see I'll start with my 2 hummers!
Great video Kyle.
that front end is very awesome ☺
lovin the christmas music in the background haha
Thats a really nice, fully equipped Trans-Am.
I have seen a few in great condition here in Baton Rouge for about 12 grand a few days ago. You have to dig for them!
Cool video Kyle
Great video i love firebird trans ams! if you find a 3rd generation firebird or trans am i would love to see you make a video on it!
one of my dream cars
best car to own ill buy 2 if I have to :) great car cant beat it for the price will beat any other car in price range no problems. easy win
WS6's are amazing and I'd love to own on. But seriously, consider the Camaros or regular T/A's too. Same performance out of all of them, it's just the WS6 is more rare and looks more bad ass. However, because of this low mile 01-02 black WS6's can cost like $15k. You can get a solid F-body of another kind for half of that.
The car in the video is actually a steal for the price.
[Edit] Oh, and don't believe the hype about how "The SS or WS6 makes X amount more HP, and the C5 makes X more.". All LS1's make the same HP and are underrated from the factory to justify sales of something like the SS for having "more" power. If you want more than 345HP, headers, a high flow exhaust, intake lid, and tune will easily get you close to 400HP. Possibly 50+HP more if you get a head and cam package too. Also, these cars, but more so the Camaros, will make 30mpg highway if you drive them properly and don't have heads/cam or 4.11 final drive gears. They're also decently reliable and will run for hundreds of thousands of miles. When you go to buy one, many already have most of the mods you want installed by the previous owner, no point in buying a stock F-body because (1.) There's barely any of them, and (2.) No matter what type of person you think you are, you're going to modify your F-body, probably more than you expect. Some go for suspension upgrades mostly to make them AutoX monsters, some go for MOAR power and drag setups. Either way, these are perfect cars for modifying and making stupid fast whether it's in a straight line or in the corners.
didn't the ws6 especially the last year 2002 make more power than its counterparts?
agree this
Lmao you're not gonna get that much hp from just those 3 things.. With those you'll get 15-20 at the most. If you knew anything about LS engines, you would know that just a single big cam could get you up to 50hp..
+Unbearable Pain i own a black 02 ws6 6speed and its power was underrated from factory. when i dynoed my ws6 with just a slp lid and an exhaust cutout with clogged driver side catalytic converter, it put down 330wrhp which is equivalent appx 375hp with the 12% drivetrain loss. When i installed my cam and headers and tune, i picked up 79rwhp on a different dyno with a heavier drivetrain
+punchdb My cousin had a bone stock '99 Camaro SS, it put down 305rwhp.
I love these T/A's
I love the WS6 I hope to own one some day
Interior seems small, but I have been able to fit five full grown adults into my 2000 firebird, so it's really just a matter of will and motivation. And owning it so I don't have to get squashed in the back... Although it is fun to make my tall friends sit back there.
I had a 2002 black trans am a my first car. It was a joy to drive. Highway traffic was no issue (passing other motorists). To whom have or wanting to get a fourth generation trans am take good car if it and it will take car of you.
Why does everyone pick on a good thing. Kyle works hard to bring all his youtube fans new videoes. I like to see how well you would do if you were in his position. i have watched most if not al his videos and he is correct almost all the time. Come on guys give him a break he is only human and is bound to make mistakes. Kyle i hope you never change a thing your videos are perfect in every way. Keep it up and cant wait to see what you do next.
I like these cars. I don't know why. But I want one.
i have a 93 Z28 with the LT1 and 170,XXX miles on it. never had an issue with the oil pressure. the optispark isn't too bad, but upgrading it to an MSD unit helps alot. anther thing to worry about is the GM PassKey antitheft system, as they are known to give fits as it ages.
Gonna be my first car!!
'02 NHRA. Black on Black with 43 k miles in my garage. My third 'Bird. When I'm on the freeway, I'm still faster than 99.9% of the other cars.
When I was in high school, this was my dream car haha.
I hope there will be some classics that you will review. Cars that are from pre 80's are the ones I would like to see (not only me). Mostly seeing new car reviews now a days...
And let's go and see how she sounds... Revs.. I lost it there I love this car
I wish I could find one like that near me. I'd trade in my 2012 Nissan in a heartbeat. Save myself a few grand in the long run, too. I just love the looks of the Trans Ams. Just something about them compared to Camaros/corvettes/mustang of their time. Really a budget speed machine.
Nice car! GM really should have kept Pontiac, they were one of their best brands! And finally, an aftermarket exhaust that actually sounds great and doesn't burn a ton of oil!!
Love these cars
Such a nice car
Love WS6. The best. This is almost new, and nice price men :)
That hood is so badass
Some nice Christmas music playing in the background lol!
Bring us more classic trans ams!
I have one of these it's a blast to drive. Only has 14k miles. 6 speed some one offered me 24k cash well it's still sits in my garage. I don't think I will ever sell it.
One of the best cars.
my nextdoor negihbor has one these it sounds sweet
I hope Brazil counts in, because I love Pontiacs and Chevy overall!
nice frontier in the background
got a 99 trans am ws6 with 28k miles on it, and it looks very similar to this in side and out, but the exhaust is aftermarket, apart from the muffler it self being smaller and the bolt clamps holding it together.
I was so in love with this car when i was younger and now that i can afford one i cant find a good one
Pretty cool car
this was such a steal of a price. I bought my 02 WS6 in 2014 and paid $13,5 which has proven to be an incredible investment... but I'll never sell... I love these cars
Beautiful
very nice 👌
For some one thats had a silver 2000 T/A going on 14yrs ,This car is in excellent shape..Somebody babied it..Those monsoon radios were good for 3years ..Dash not a crack in it, Door panel had the pontiac split near the upper right passenger side door and the rubbing mark on the driver side bolstering pad..this is one of the cars they dont have to come down on the price..
My first car!
Wish I woulda seen this when the video dropped I'm in rockingham NC
Please do more tours of Pontiac, especially Bonneville!!!
I also own a 68 firebird and just bought a 2000 trans am. if you get a chance to buy one do it. they are fun to drive. hard as hell to find. every dealer we called sold them as soon as they got them. i lucked out. mine as less then 45000 miles on it.
i have this same car only tan leather and a broken axle. i miss driving it like crazy! now it just sits..
Kyle can you PLEASE try to find a 1997 Trans Am and do a review i would appreciate it!
Favorite video
It’s truly an incredible car, although I expected it to be a bit louder
Kyle, you should totally do a video on the ford flex titanium
