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.

  Hi - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By CoolAIArtist - March 7 - 8:23 am

  well I think I got such a wonderful deal at 6,000 dollars for a 01 Bird The only thing I have a problem with is when it rains and thats all. I like the 31 hwy mpg cause Im daily on the Highway anyway. I have been offered way above what its worth and always have people staring because the car is a head turner. Pontiac Red and T-tops it is by far one of my fav cars the only thing above it is the Dodge Viper.

  BULLET PROOF - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By THE FURY - September 26 - 7:06 am

  YOU KNOW,I HAVE TO SIDE WITH THE OTHER FORTUNATE OWNERS OF THE UNTOUCHABLE WS6. WHEN COMES TO THE REMARKS THAT YOU EDITOR PEOPLE ARE MAKING ABOUT CHEAP THIS AND POOR THAT, IT MAKES ME WONDER AS WELL ARE YOU SURE YOU WERE TESTING A TRANS AM OR WAS IT A 1980S TURBO SUNBIRD. THE ENGINE IS IN A CLASS BY ITSELF, AND THE BRAKES.....LETS JUST SAY I WASNT THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION STOPPING FROM 90MPH AGAINST THE SO CALLED "ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE" (540i) TO BE EXACT!!!!

  Best Car Ever - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By 01TransAm - September 9 - 10:00 am

  A more beautiful (yet mean looking), fun to drive, and comfortable car has never been made. I have the WS6, automatic, and it is still practically like new. The only thing it really needed that is not stock is subframe connectors to get rid of the body roll. I completely disagree with the Edmunds review about the interior. The interior plastic is not cheap. It it much better looking than any new car interior, plus the lumbar support leather seats are top notch. The proportions are perfect - low profile, long hood, enough of a back seat to put stuff in. Millage is 17 city, over 25 if all highway, which is not bad, but who really cares anyway.

  Beautiful Girl - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By Shemachinist - July 30 - 10:00 am

  I have had absolutely no problems with my baby. This car continues to amaze me. She turns on a dime, drives like a dream. As yet Ive not had a ticket, but it isnt for lack of trying. This car screams for more gas, and the engine handles this with ease. Ive taken 3 1000 mile car trips with this car, and its extremely comfortable, and reminds me each time why I purchased the car.

  01 Formula Firebird - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By firechkn - July 24 - 2:00 am

  I love my car. I never have to worry about being stuck behind a slow driver. Push the gas and go. This car gets geat mileage for a V8, I average 380 per tank. The only downfalls are,is its too low for my mom to get in and out of easily and there are blindspots from the A posts. I would rather line this car in plastic when I have kids than get rid of it. Best car Ive ever owned.

  2001 Firebird, V6 3.8L, 2DR Hatch w/TTop - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By My Baby - March 14 - 1:16 pm

  My first car was a 73 Firebird 2DR Coupe, V-8 350 and I loved her. My latest is this 2001 and I love her even more. I cannot imagine owning something else in place of her. She has plenty of power even with the V6 and she is a joy to drive.

  Love It - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By Vinterskugge - October 4 - 12:56 am

  This review is of the WS6 Trans Am. This is the most beautiful car ever and is a lot of fun to drive. Its a shame they are not made anymore, although if they were, they would probably be ruined with a hideous new design. This is the shape that cars should be: low, wide, 2-doors, long hood. Only drawback is lack of trunk space, but the backseat is perfect: you cannot ask for a better design as far as being able to reach into the back seat from either the outside or the front seat. No problems in light snow with all season tires. Car is still like new. True muscle car driving excitement, plus unrivaled aesthetic beauty

  01 Black on Black LS6 Formula 6 speed - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By LS6BIRD - January 14 - 7:46 pm

  Originally owned by Gm Mechanic. Blew up the LS1 at 30k in 02..replaced with new LS6, added jethot headers and exhaust, lowered on SLP springs with subframe connectors and 4:10 gears. Dynos 442 hp and gets and amazing 27 mpg on the highway in 6th. I couldnt ask for a better car. Last of the true muscle cars! Dont think I will ever part with it. Only 311 6speed formulas in 01 and its a loaded Black on Black Hurst 6speed. I LOVE IT
