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.

  Gas is Holding me Back - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By onoshedien01 - March 21 - 4:06 pm

  Overall performance when I first purchased car was excellent. No repairs needed. Maintenance was kept up from previous owner. Great condition inside/out. Bought at 65k. Take curves like a whip. Engine was eager to drive like a bat out of hell. Now at 121k still runs good but maintenance is needed.

  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..

  a REAL American Muscle Car - 2001 Pontiac Firebird
  By Justin_25 - February 25 - 2:00 am

  In my pursuit of finding a fast, fun, and afordiable car, i have found a true winner in my Trans Am. Its a true American Muscle Car. But at the same time, thats the problem too. Its a true american m.c. It has rather poor build and is UNCOMFORTABLE to drive. I cant keep gas in this thing! In a way i guess you could say its almost a burden to drive. But when it all comes down to it, it wasnt built for these things. It was built for one thing. SPEED!!! Mission accomplished. But i think Im gonna hit my dad up for a new BMW.
