STILL WORTH BUYING A 98-02 TRANS AM WS6???

Still one the coolest cars on the road today

❤ I have a 2001 WS6. I don’t drive it much anymore but when I do I get looks from everyone.

Bought my 98 TA new and still have it, no other car Ive owned provides such fun and gets so many looks.

One of the most beautiful cars ever made.

Absolutely love my 95 Trans Am Comp with a built 5.7 LT-1 and only 90 k original miles!! Such a fun car to drive, as far as my daily driver I have a 2001 Firebird with the 3.8 performance package and it gets great mileage as well as looking pretty sharp and being very dependable!!

99 WS6 here. Black ttop 6 speed. My dream car. Got it 4 years ago. Currently has 31k miles. She’s beautiful. I’m in love.

I've owned fourth gen Firebirds for 23 years and I still love them. They aren't perfect, but nothing is. I still daily drive one, including the Ohio winter.

you guys crack me up.... Pontiacs will ALWAYS BE worth buying.

Here in Washington I’d say your paying a third more for a ws6 over a camaro ss. The value is there. The weight advantage over newer cars is insane. And they are getting rarer. Anything with an ls is relevant.

There are quicker cars built today, but........ None of them have the style of my 3 2002 Birds. Two Trans Am Firehawks & a WS6. I love these cars & God willing, I will die owning all three. My red Hawk & ws6 were bought new in March of 2002. My sunset orange Hawk was bought in 2019.

That's what that car does, it puts a huge smile on your face. 😄 Love it. Thanks for sharing captain.

Being 40, these cars were the ultimate goal in HS. Today I own a CTS-V1, but I STILL want a firehawk

Love my 98 Formula. Best upgrade was changing the gearbox from 4L60E to T56 Magnum-F wide ratio and final drive gears from 2.73 to 3.73.

Worth buying? I would pour honey on my junk then sit in a bed of fire ants...while simultaneously digging my eyeballs out with a plastic spork...and listening Kenny G's greatest hits on repeat for that car!!! That's the sickest car that Pontiac has produced since the 69 GTO Judge Ram Air IV. That car was WAY ahead of it's time. Even now...20 years later it still looks better than any car made today. Pontiac definitely hit a homerun...or actually a grand slam when they made that car. I've dreamed of having one since they came out in the 90s and I was a teenager. I WILL own one before I die

19 years old just picked up my 2000 trans am 6 speed Manuel 90k miles never been more happy

By far my DREAM CAR as far as daily drivers go Of course I have a certain build setup in mind but looks great and an awesome base to start off on with while you build it up ...love this car truly is a forgotten gem(i hope it stays that way until I snag mine which I'm working towards now) ,love the sound of the engine and it feels like a great blend of ol school muscle in a newer body,T-Tops look great on or off summer/winter, it's a head turner while still being a beast, got muscle and comfort,nice lines looks like an attacker and has deep low tone rumbles as American muscle should

I'm currently shopping for one now! What a gorgeous car!

Yes!! Just got my 01 WS6 vert 5/2020. Always wanted one, finally found it. Couldn't be happier!

Mine is an 01 sunset orange WS6, set up maybe exactly the same as the video car. The reason i've watched this video a couple times is because its the only one that sounds just like mine.

I just picked up my 2nd auto WS6 2001 TA . Love it. My other is a 99 WS6 Formula 6 speed.

You spent alot of time editing and putting thought into this video and it shows. Great work.

I bought a 2000 6 speed ws6 convertible a little over a year and a half ago, less than 32,000 miles on when I got it. I love the car sooo much it just brings a smile to my buddys and myself with the top down.

I have a 99 WS6 still turns heads people still love the sound of it .

Dude HELL YEAH!!!!! I so very much miss my 1990 triple black TA with the 5.7! It was not the GTA, it was the GT with a special-order 5.7. Damn I should've kept that car! But I really love the WS6 from this era and will buy a 2000-2002 soon! Nice video!!!!! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

Awesome video. I absolutely love Trans Ams. I have a '80 and a '99 model years. The '80 is a WS6 T/A too, unfortunately the '99 is not a WS6.

Nah guys these cars suck, no reason to get one. Just keep on moving along 😅 (My attempt at trying to keep the market low🙏)

Just a few weeks back got my hands on a 98' trans am no not a WS6 but has more or less the same setup as that car very happy with it and love these cars also great video

Haha that same commercial has been stuck in my mind since I was 10yrs old. Just bought a bone stock 00 ws6 with 24k miles. Such an awesome car.

Will always be worth buying and one of the coolest cars ever! I own a 2000 camaro ss convertible with the Hurst six speed and ls1 but the only car I wanted more was a Trans am !

👍🏿# 37! As you said "never gets old"!

I myself own a 1998 transam red and I love it, it was and is my dream car.

I currently own an all stock 02 Trans Am WS6 ram air black for 12 years now and still love it as much as the day I bought it. Only has 60K on the clock. I always get thumbs up and nice car comments from people when I take it out for a cruise. I also own two V6 firebirds, a MRM 2000 and a artic white 1998.

Great video!!

Love 99 TA, finally got my hands on a WSQ hood. Next is some HRE's and Bruan seats. Love is understatement

Boy you ain't lying.. I have a 96 WS6 with a built 383 the worst thing I got passed up by , was the ass end of my own car😳

I love my trans am!

I love my 95 trans am! I bought it as a garage only car. Had like 50k miles. I put about 20k on it in 2 yrs and I will continue to drive it as much as possible! Love this car! I drive it all summer but no winter driving

Yooo Brian! I recognize those Lexington roads! Loved the video. Tinkering with the idea of getting another WS6 myself!

Damn right. I have a '99 and it's not the fastest or the quickest but it still gets looks especially when I wax it up

i bought my 99 z/28 few months ago never made such a good decision

will always be worth it!!! My absolute favorite

I have gotten to drive a 6 speed 96 I think it was Z28. That thing was a piece of crap but the car was still VERY fast. The fastest car I ever got to actually drive was this beyond gorgeous automatic black and gold TA. That thing was the most violently FAST car I have ever driven. It was an automatic. Fastest automatic I ever drove. It had every piece of high performance parts you could think of. I just remember tapping the gas was enough to make traffic vanish.

I love these cars but, unless you already own one they are very close to being out of reason for a lot of people. $15K for a decent 20+ year old T/A or Formula that hasn't been ragged out or chopped up is a lot to ask. Corvettes from the same era are probably the better deal. They weigh 400 lbs less and make the same power and accept the same mods. Gen 5 Camaro's are a better car with more power and less style. It's a shame GM was so short sighted in shuttering Pontiac while keeping Buick. Ugh.

I got a 99 firehawk, I describe it the same way, early 2000s street racer spec: heads cam intake exhaust. The car still turns heads.

my 2002 still a head turner Today and thumbs up Daily

I own a dark navy blue color 2001 WS6 model trans am with the LS1...all original and stock. I love my Trans Am !!! I actually traded my 2011 dodge challenger to get it. Don't regret that trade for a second either. I think these Trans Ams are a great investment. Hard to find I believe and I have not yet seen another one driving down the roads where I live. Mine is the auto tranny model and I'm cool with that, I'm not into driving like a gear head. It sounds great and feels like a monster coming down the road.

I'd certainly take a black one in a heartbeat. Throw a 454 big block under that hood that comes out the crate with 950 pew pews goin on? Psssh 🤘🏽😎

I have a 89 formula 350 WS6 and opted to replace the 5.7 LT motor with a Chevy crate 383 stroker motor fuel injected. Motor bolted right up too my stock transmission and changed out the rear from the 3:42 gears to a 12 bolt 390 gears. I’ll be more than happy to take on a LS I’m pushing out over 450hp and the car is light as a feather.

Owned a 96 Firebird since 1997 and bought my 16 year old a 99 Trans Am in 2021. Her first car. Insurance is easy on these! Found a low mileage, garage kept TA with 99K on it for 7K.

Yeah. Good video. Firebirds are keepers. WS6 is king. I still have my 2001 Camaro SS. When all Camaros become extinct again, all F-bodies will go up in value. They kept their value back before the 5th gens came out. You watch.

I'm seriously considering a 02 WS6 manual.

Thoughts on a 2001 trans am, black, manual, ttops, cam, suspension upgrade, headers, exhaust, other tasteful modifications for 20k?

They certainly hold up when modified a bit like that one against the newer Camaro's, Mustang GT's and Challengers, due to the weight difference. My 2002 runs mid 11's with cam/heads and a decent converter, and my dad's 2018 SS runs low to mid 12's bone stock. My car as it sits with 155k on the odometer (I've daily driven it since 2004) would probably sell for around 12k in this market, and that's really good value for an LS car in good condition.

i bought a 2000 camaro ss hardtop m6 the end of 2019 for 8000 its one of the cars i wanted since high school.

Trading my WS6 was one of the most regrettable things I’ve ever done, I’d probably still pick it over one of the modern muscle cars.

I got a beautiful bolt-on, s60 rear, 00 WS6, never get looks tho. I bought it 7 or 8 years ago for 10k cash. I also bought it bc everyone else had camaros or mustangs.

Beautiful

I just bought my 02 ws6 with 18k miles on her. She is completely stock. Have new rims, cam, exhaust and intake on the way.

Absolutely they are. After looking for a 98-02 WS6 Trans Am and finding so many that were pounded to hell with high miles and crazy asking prices, I decided to search for a low milage, well maintained W68 Firebird. This past summer I found a little something that I bought. A 98 W68 Y87 Firebird. The couple I bought it from owned the car since 2001 I believe and kept it in a climate controlled garage for 20+ years. There's not a spot of rust anywhere on the car. The car is loaded and stock with 88k miles. Grey leather interior, monsoon radio, LSD, front air damn, Trans Am stirring rack, chrome rims, dual exhaust, I think the suspension is the same as a Trans Am too...49 options were added on the build sheet. Aside from the front clip, rear bumper and hatch spoiler, all my bird would need is two more pistons to be a Trans Am. It's funny because this V6 bird handles like my 96 Trans Am did. It kinda threw me off when I first drove it. Even though I love the LS1 TAs, I'm really pleased with my Y87 Firebird. Twice I've been offered more than what I payed for it. So in my opinion, if you can't get your hands on a TA look for a Y87 Firebird. Apparently they're not all that common. And if anything, you buy a Y87 for cheap and throw an LS1 in it. The W68 is a sport appearance package while the Y87 is a performance package.

I have a '98 Z28 Conv. 91k auto. I still don't know how people drive with a manual trans.. I already have to steer with my knees since if you have one arm out of the window and the other holding a cellphone, it kind of puts steering further down on the importance list.

Love my 2000 ws6/6 speed!

Yep still have my 02m6.

I just missed a deal on a 01 WS6 Trans Am convertible, had 140k km 6 speed manual ,LS1, $13k Canadian

wow i just bought a m6 convertible 99 ws6. i really dig it because i couldnt afford a c5, i picked it up for 13,500 with 100k on the dash. really really well kept. no rust but the paint is fading on the ram air hood. i hope it was a good call because im dailying it lol.

I approve 👍

most beautiful F body car

I love mine

Put it this way...bought my 02 T/A WS6 Convertible for 11 grand in 16....its now worth 20-25 grand...hell ya.

Man its so hard to find a unmolested WS6 in Blue with a 6sp at a reasonable price

My ws6 only has 6k on her

Is this right hand drive ? This is my dream car, its a shame they didnt sell these in the uk. I love F body cars, a few wrre imported but i have only ever seen 1. I think the closest we have is the occasional corvette, toyota supra mk 3 or mitsubishi 3000 Gto. All of which i love but in terms of value, i think these cars are best, they can be driven every day as a regular car, looke amazing

If I wasn't a broke sob i'd have one and rebuild it like i've done with my truck, i've done so much work on my truck i'm proud by the time i'm done it will be a marvel. I know a guy that has a WS6 that's 3 second 0-60 it's loud as fuck and super clean, he has his own auto shop so he had the sickest body kit for it, looks like a trans am lambo.

I have a 2000 ws6 12.000 original miles.showroom condition..

What a car

This shit is beautiful

I just bought a super rare som firehawk (my 4th hawk). Yes its worth it

How much would he sell it for

my "daily" is a 2nd owner 1998 ls1 formula firebird ...mild performance mods, but full suspension build... cause lifes to short to drive a boring car!

All you have to do is park a fbody next to regular car.. and look back

The more I looked at it, it became Knight Rider.

Why did you flip your video around? I have my car on here. 1996 Z28 SS

Holy hell that idle is fkn sinister. What is the exhaust and cam setup?

The 98-02 ws6 will be the 69 camaro for future generations.

Yes.

Trying to fix my 98 SLP firebird

What rims/tires are you running? Any wheel spacers? I wonder if those are available in polished silver / chrome / etc?

An LS6 intake is definitely not a fast 92 intake but it is still a very good intake all 2001-02 cars they were oem

I am what you call an fbody fanatic and have owned over 10 of these vehicles... These cars are not worth the typical asking price in 2023, nuff said.

I think they are worth it. But the RHD is not for me

Worst part about f body’s are working on em ,

I love the nose of those cars with the ram air hood but to me the inside is so cheap like too much plastic or something

The trans am is definitely not worth the price anymore unless you are buying for the name not the car itself, formula is a much better choice you can buy a good condition formula for 10k even in Cali, unlike the trans am that are 30k plus for decent condition

um hell yea

Is it me or his he driving on the wrong side or is that a oversea's car

I’m kinda color blind so maybe It’s actually black but it looks purple to me in the video. Purple T/As are extremely rare

the interior video being mirror view is so weird lol... just another right-hand-drive Firebird imported from the UK 🙃 nothing to see here

You are wrong.the TA has always been known for its handling.I had a 79 and it stuck to the road like glue.

kind of a stupid question,the title.isnt it

Why are you sitting on the wrong side of the car?
