2001 Pontiac Firebird

Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to digitally present this 2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 Convertible, finished in sleek black with a black power top. As one of the last great muscle cars to wear the Pontiac badge, the WS6 package represents the pinnacle of Trans Am performance in the fourth-generation F-body lineup.

Under the hood, this WS6 is powered by the legendary LS1 5.7L V8, the same powerplant found in the C5 Corvette, paired with a smooth-shifting automatic transmission. Factory-rated at 325 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, real-world numbers often exceeded those figures, giving this convertible serious street credibility. The functional Ram Air hood scoops feed the LS1 with fresh air, adding both performance and unmistakable curb appeal.

Handling and grip were equally upgraded thanks to the WS6 package, which included performance suspension tuning, 17-inch wheels with wider tires, and upgraded exhaust flow. The result is a car that was capable of sub-5-second 0-60 mph runs and quarter-mile times in the low 13s - numbers that made it one of the most formidable American performance cars of its era.

Inside, the Trans Am WS6 Convertible offers a driver-focused cockpit, complete with leather seating, performance gauges, and the creature comforts expected in a modern classic. The black-on-black presentation gives it an aggressive, timeless look, while the power convertible top provides the option of open-air cruising to better enjoy the soundtrack of that Ram Air LS1.
