If you found this listing I don't have to
tell you how rare this combination is. Production numbers (only 1025 WS6 verts were made this year) 2000 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Ws6 Performance Package, Pewter Silver With Sport Ebony leather Interior. Loaded, buckets, full power. 5.7 liter V-8 with 305 HP (before Ws6), automatic 4 speed. CAR IS NEAR PERFECT NEVER DRIVEN IN BAD WEATHER. 2000 Trans Am powered by a 5.7-liter (346 cubic inches, for you traditionalists) LS1 V-8 engine . It is fitted with the WS6 Ram Air performance package, consisting of functional front-end air dams leading to an underhood ram air system (a longtime Pontiac musclecar element), dual exhaust outlets, power steering cooler. 17x9.0-inch twisted-design polished-aluminum wheels. The WS6 mods boost horsepower and torque peaks to 320 and 345, respectively, up from the stock Trans Am's 305 and 320 figures. As far as speed, this Trans Am can go 0-60 mph in 5.0 seconds and cleaned up the quarter mile in 13.5 seconds at 107.4 mph. (Funny how it beat the same-engined, similarly weighted Camaro SS by 0.2 second and 1.8 mph.) In handling, it mercilessly matches its Bow-Tie relative by pulling 0.84 g on the skidpad and zipping through the slalom at 64.6 mph. Mash the brake pedal to the floor, and the large 11.9-inch front and 12-inch rear vented disc brakes bring the Pontiac to a halt in 121 feet (11 better than the Camaro). For purists, these acceleration stats also beat virtually every Pontiac musclecar, including the legendary '69 GTO Judge with its 370-gross-horsepower 400-cubic-inch V-8. And in handling and braking, it wouldn't even be a contest.
