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.

  Last of a Generation - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By Voice of Reason - December 18 - 11:13 pm

  If you are looking for top down fun with gobs of power on tap this is the car for you! With the engine producing the same power output as a Corvette (dont believe the 310hp rating), you are just as fast and can have just as much fun as someone with a Corvette convertible only for $20,000 less! Buy one now before they dissapear forever after 2002.

  Still loving it after 6 years! - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By Cindy - August 4 - 11:56 am

  My husband and I drove into the dealership "just to look". An hour later we had a black Trans AM WS6. We had looked at BMWs but like my husband said, I didnt giggle when I drove it. That was in May of 2001. I am still loving every minute I drive it! It still gets looks and comments. The stereo is out of this world. One of best purchases we have ever made in our lives.

  My 10 second ws6 - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By Spraying WS6 - July 6 - 10:00 am

  This car already kicks some serious butt bone stock. Once you add some headers,cams,new rear end, and different gears, also along 15lbs of NOS this baby will fly. Still looks stock though changed the rims with chrome Z06 rims and have the corvette run on flat tires. Red body painted on 10inch racing stripes and some other custome paint work this baby wins alot of shows. Oh yea and the chicks dig it. Bit me ford boy

  Great ride - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By Pete - June 18 - 9:46 am

  The firebird is fun to drive and the 3.8 liter V-6 provides ample acceleration. My car has 52000 plus miles on it and so far it has been very reliable while having only very minor problems (i.e turn signal flashers going out). Overall I am very happy with this car so far.

  Gotta Love It Baby - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By gary jones - January 21 - 2:00 am

  This is my third Pontiac Firebird in a row. Yes, thats right. I started with a 1992, 1997 and now a 2001. All gave good performance, were fun to drive, held their value and easy on the wallet. I have only owned the 2001 4 months. The drive shaft and fuel pump failed on the 97. I was costly to repair, but managable, largly because of the dealership..

  V6 Grown Up - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By TTraveler23 - April 3 - 2:00 am

  When I was just thinking about trading in my 92 Firebird V-6 3.8, I took a test drive in this car. I still liked my 92, but it had over 200,000 miles on it! I found the performance to be outstanding, and the car is very comfortable. The extra features such as the Traction Control system and the 6 speed transmission only add to the performance. The gas mileage is excellent for a V8, it is close to that of my former V6. I highly recommend this model.

  2001 Trans Am - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By pitbullluvr - February 15 - 10:00 am

  This is my second Trans Am and I also had a 1999 Firebird Convertible. My 2001 TA has T-Tops, wish I went for the convertible, but wouldnt give up the 5.7 LS1 for a rag top V6. Great car with the exception of consistant brake issues. Highly recommend and a real head turner.
