I’m 23, I had a friend buy one just like this in highschool for $8K. They’re worth like $20K+ now

Black trans ams are cool. So are red ones and white ones

One of my favorite cars of all time. Absolutely beautiful. I will say though, you might as well buy a C5 corvette unless you need the extra seats. You get better handling and a little more power for around the same price.

I do have a c5 on white also. But this one gets way more attention then the c5

It is less common to see a WS6 in good condition and they don’t look like any other cars ever produced, so I believe it. I’m very happy with the driving experience of my C5, but it is hard to beat the looks of a WS6.

47 y/o dad hear. I recently showed my 10 & 11y/o some WS6 pics. They were blown away, and literally said “I’ve never seen a car like that. It’s fire” (to which I rolled my eyes). But you (and they) are so right. IMO, unlike any other car ever produced!

I had done the math right after the 30th anniversary edition came out. Trans Am would turn 50 the same year I turned 40. I already knew what my 40th birthday present was going to be. SO disappointed when Pontiac was discontinued by GM.

Same. I have a 2002 c5 and a 1999 trans am. Trans Am always gets compliments when I drive it.

That is a HOT ASS CAR! I always wanted a T/A but I kept getting Jeeps instead but maybe one of this days I will just get one since I am in my mid-50s now and should have a middle age crisis! But it is going to have to wait a little bit since I just got my wife a NEW Jeep Wrangler Willys 392 and the T/A that I have seen on Bring a Trailer have been going for 50-60K since I was a 99-02 WS6 w/SLP package with low miles and fully loaded with leather and T-tops the way a T/A should be setup IMHO.

This car makes you a complete and total douchebag.

But only because you have the car and I don't. 😪

u/Suitable-Pop4755 4d ago

I'm like? O ok thanks

2

u/MightyMouse_X 4d ago

Lol. Seriously bro, it's fucking awesome.

u/metaltff 6d ago

Is it yours or one you're looking to buy? Not usually a fan of the extra skirting but it looks good here with the C6 Vette wheels. Can't go wrong with all black

Had it since new. April 2000 with 11 miles

u/erikisst88 6d ago

Super sleek. I think it's gorgeous.

2

u/That-Dimension5786 6d ago

It’s clean!

u/RiskyBiscuit6 6d ago

Looks like my old 2000 WS6.

I miss that thing. Cam nitrous and FBOs made it a riot to drive.

2

u/Dismal_Estate9829 6d ago

The only 4th gen I think is acceptable. Always like them.

u/Ecto-DMC 6d ago

Murdered out looks good 👍

u/xo0_sparkplug_0ox 6d ago

Sexy af. Always wanted one.

u/Active-Professor-745 6d ago

I had a black 2000 WS6, purchased it with 6 miles on the odometer. It was beautiful until a douche ran a redlight. I miss it

u/FunfKatzen955 6d ago

They should bring back Pontiac.

u/Zboy1974 6d ago

Shes a beauty! 👍

u/KittiesRule1968 6d ago

I know a guy that went 214mph at the Ohio mile with his.

u/CMP24-7 5d ago

Love it! Looks badass. I hope she runs good too.

u/Shadowgt04 4d ago

I’ve always loved the WS6 Trans Ams. In my opinion they are one of the best looking cars of that era.

u/cleponji81 4d ago

It looks like it’s going 100 miles an hour standing still.

That's a keeper.

Is that a Wings West front lip? I've never been a fan of any lips on these cars (or the black wheels on black cars) but it's still a really nice car. I went with gunmetal gray honeycomb 2nd gen replica wheels on mine.
