Overview & Reviews

For 2001, V8-equipped Formula and Trans Am receive five more horsepower and five more pound-feet of torque, new exterior and interior colors join the palette and the Ram Air Formula is dropped from the lineup.

• Powerful V6, spectacular V8, true muscle-car performance at a bargain price.

• Boy-racer-in-gold-chains image, cheesy interior plastic, V8 nets sky-high insurance rates.

  FUN FUN FUN FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By CORBA KILLER - March 13 - 10:00 am

  All I have to say is this car is great!! I have owned many sportscars most of them turbocharged. I love turbos but theres nothing like instant raw muscle horsepower and torque 330hp and 360 ft/lbs of torque under your foot. Tire-Smokin Heaven, The women cant get enough. If want to attract a lot of attention especially women & the bogus pony riders wont leave me alone. This is the car for you. Its such a shame we have to say goodbye!! Im sure GM will having something Hot in store for us to AWWWW at! God Bless!!!!

  2001 TA WS6 Convertible - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By Chip - March 2 - 8:33 pm

  I have had this car for a few years now. Great car! Pontiac had to be crazy for stopping production. I have a 74 SD and this 2001. Love them both. Added a flowmaster for more growl and this car has the neighbors kids giving me the thumbs up every time it hits the streets.

  Awesome car...fun to drive and really sporty. Its not too difficult to add on features to give it more of a muscle sound. Great look and always turning heads!

  Fun car not reliable daily driver - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By 01 firebird - August 12 - 10:00 am

  This car is fun to drive with like a sports car but with the v6 you dont have to worry about gas. The only problem with this car that I have had so far are strange electrical issues (ex. The headlights flip up and down when using the power locks with the remote?) also has electrical problems after being stored. Still a great convertible for Florida weather

  2.5 yrs later I still love this car - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By JET147 - July 3 - 10:00 am

  I started out leasing this car. I recently bought it because I still love it. I added a flowmaster exhaust, K&N air filter, changed the factory 16" rims to Coddington Shyster 17" rims and put BF Goodrich KDSW tires on it. I run a mix of 2 gal racing 100 fuel mixed with the rest 91 octane. These four improvements have really improved the already excellent performance. Now, I have little tire spinning (even with the tires a little wet), no hesitation or knocking (because of the fuel mix), and with the improved air flow the car is really explosive now. I find the car handles better than most of the reviews I read.

  trans am ws6 review - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By t/a man - June 27 - 2:00 am

  Though minor problems have been experienced, such as mass airflow sensor,this car is a joy to own, and even more fun to drive. Reliability has never been an issue,nor has ride quality, as some might think. The ws6 ram air package is also worth its weight in gold. In summary, I would most definately recommend this car to anyone in the market, and I plan to still have this car for many, many years to come.

  Most Misunderstood Automobile - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By Robison - June 13 - 10:00 am

  My 2001 Firebird is my 3rd Firebird. Admitedly a niche automobile, as a 52 year old Engineer, I find the 4th generation to be solid, realiable, and a blast to drive. The 200Hp V6 is plenty strong and though not a Transam, I find the average person doesnt know the difference. GM failed to properly market fun features like T-tops and how well the 4th gen are sealed against water leaks.

  WS6 Heaven - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By Cancerman - October 6 - 10:00 am

  I looked at many cars during my search and ran across my black WS6 T/A while looking at an Acura. I was getting frustrated by the lack of imagination in most of the current crop of Jelly- bean shaped cars, but this one is different. Gorgeous. Fast. Sounds as aggressive as it goes. Forget about the relentless pursuit of blandness GM and build something like this with character!

  This is one awesome car!!! - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By NJones - October 6 - 10:00 am

  Punch the gas at 30mph and listen to the tires rip loose! Ive taken this car stock to 13.20@106 at State Capital Dragway. To say that that isnt impressive is ignorant. The car handles great, gets decent enough gas mileage, and as long as you dont have to sit in the back seat, youre comfortable!
