I was the last Firebird Brand Manager at GM. WS6 is the RPO - regular production option code. I gave him one of our yellow/black Collectors Series cars but as he said he preferred something more subdued. I was honored to present him the car at his garage and as a bonus attended one his shows. He was so welcoming and gave us all the time we needed- class act!

@@ZacharyZimmer Oh, and also, you may have to accept that the market is high on these right now. And it may only go up. At first, I couldn't believe how expensive they were. Then, after looking, I decided I was willing to pay a decent price for a nicer one (still not the 10k miles for $30k or $40k group). Once I decided I wasn't going to try and buy one at the $14k price I saw them all day long for when growing up, things got easier. I didn't even haggle with the dealership where I got mine. Given the market, the price was fine. So, that may be something to think about. You can find a sweet one out there, but you're probably not going to get a deal on it. Don't spend more than you can afford, but also don't mess around too much-people are very willing to buy these cars. The dealers and private sellers don't really have to worry about it that much. Idk what your price range is, but a Z28 LS1 Camaro is much cheaper with the exact same performance. Even though we know the Trans Am is way more badass. Good luck out there!

Jay Leno is a man's man. He is exactly what I and a lot of car lovers would be if we were fortunate enough to become wealthy. Sure I'd have a nice house. But my garage would be bigger than my house. I'd have a whole fleet of cars. Something else I like about Jay is...he genuinely loves cars. Sure he has some extremely expensive super cars. But yet he can still appreciate this 20 year old Pontiac firebird. He doesn't have those cars as a status symbol. He has them because he loves cars. Not only that...he actually drives them. He's not afraid to get his hands dirty. Like I said, he's anyone of us. Only with more money.

I had a red 2002 WS6 with the 6 speed. It was my dream car and I actually got to own it. My first brand new car when I was 25. I traded the car for a Chevy Blazer a few months before our first child was born, I didn’t want to be the dad who was paying an outrageous car note and high insurance who would then be struggling to pay for diapers and baby formula each month. I just thought it was the right, and responsible thing to do. I have dreamed many times about buying one that is still pristine, but they are getting few and far now. Cost is an issue again, now that my son is attending college soon. I’ve come to realize that in all likelihood this will never happen, but I have no regrets as my children mean everything to me. Thanks for letting me relive the past for the length of this video…brings back a lot of great memories from that time in my life ❤👍

15+ years ago my dads boss was shutting down his business and selling everything off. He was going through a divorce. He sold my dad this same exact Pontiac color and everything for about half of its value. My dad parked it in the garage for 10 years. Then my dad and his old boss crossed paths again and he showed him his old car. My dads old boss bought it back from him and offered double the price my dad bought it from him. My dad refused to accept the money and only asked for the original purchase price back. The next morning my dad went to the mailbox and found the amount of money that doubled the purchase price. My dad only drove it like twice a year and would start it every week or so. I loved the smell and sound every time he started it. The thing had like 20,000 miles. My dads old boss left a note saying thanks for taking care of her for me.

What a great car the WS6 is. I had two of them a 2000 in pewter and then traded that in 2002 to get one of the last off the assembly line, which was silver, literally identical to the one in this video. I was also at the Daytona 500 that he drove the pace car in and I remember that car vividly. 20 years later, I had no idea Jay Leno has the same car as I did and what a treat to see it featured on his channel. Thanks for taking us back to a time, when cars were true driving machines compared to the direction the industry is going today with this whole EV craze. I’ve had a lot of cool sports cars over the years but I honestly wish I would have kept this one.

First introduced on the 1978 Trans Am, the performance package included higher rate springs, specific shocks and final drive ratio, larger sway bars, 8" wide wheels and bigger tires. The WS6 doesn't acronym anything, it's just the GM code on the build sheet, like F41 (HD suspension) and Z71 (truck off-road package).

I had one of these back in 2002, a red one. Loved driving it, especially at night when the air was cooler and it felt like it had a few more extra hp. Rowing through the gears was a hoot, especially third as it was pretty tall and took awhile to wind out. That ram air set up worked well and sounded fantastic under WOT! I recall running wide open at about 165mph down the Interstate one night in 5th. The car felt so stable and planted I’ll never forget that feeling. I put it in 6th and it lost a few mph…crazy. 6th was a true overdrive. My roommate had a black one as well. Pretty cool to open the 2 stall garage to our apartment and seeing a pair of WS6 T/As. Great cars!

Sure made me smile, too. Even so, seeing that WS6 snarling nose in my rearview mirror, even knowing that I had the same performance specs, still make me nervous: a very unsettling sight… :-) *OK, more than "a bit"; actually $8,000 worth of suspension and drivetrain stiffening.

Enjoyed the video very much! WS6 didn't really have a meaning. It was just the code for the performance suspension package on the 1978 Firebird/TransAm. 78 was the first year for it. The package included a larger rear sway bar, quicker steering box, and 15x8 snowflake wheels(versus the standard 15x7 wheels), and better ratio rearend gears. In 79, they came out with rear disc brakes, so rear discs also became part of the WS6 package. An interesting bit of trivia is that in 79, WS6 TA's were selling so well, that Pontiac temporarily couldn't keep up with demand for the rear discs, so they came out with a new code, WS7, where they produced a WS6 TA without rear discs, using rear drum brakes instead. I guess the WS6 code lived on as a performance suspension package, and became the nameplate of some Firebirds/TA's until the end of production. Reminds me of how the code Z28 for the early Camaro's special performance package later became a model name for the top Camaro.

Nice video and awesome car. Jay Leno is living a dream and the thing that sets him apart is that he’s kept his feet on the ground. Good guy. But this feature on his WS6 really struck home. Reading the kind of comments on this video was such a break from the atmosphere and mood in today’s climate. My Pop drove a Corvette for a long while before retiring. I thought he’d keep it forever. At some point having a truck to further his projects won out and in w/ his Silverado and out went his Vette. Years later a low mileage ‘97 Pontiac Firebird caught his eye and after driving both the Vette and the Trans Am, I enjoyed the Trans Am the most. He passed 12 years ago, and I kept his Trans Am. Plans are to retire and spend as much time as I can driving and working on last fast ride. Old cars hold great memories! My son will have the chance to do the same. He drove it a few times a his Senior year of HS, before I lost Pop. Thanks Jay for reminding me that keeping and working on his WS6 is worth it all! jtb

My Lord, looking at the bottom of this beautiful WS six Firebird Trans Am is amazing. I see bare steel and cast-iron on a differential and it’s not even brown. Out here in the salty northeast it would be swollen with rot. You would be chipping away at the surface even after sandblasting it it would never be ever smooth again. Even if you wanted to change the shocks it would need a torch to get the bottom bolts off. Been there did that don’t want to do it again. There’s something to be said for keeping the car in a dry climate and out of the sun that is priceless! Thank you Mr. Lirelle for showing us such a pristine example of the very last of Firebird. I worked from Maxon Pontiac in Union New Jersey. From 1978 through 1980. I moved on when the big block went away. To this day I still absolutely love Pontiac!

I drive a Ford Taurus daily. When I drive my 88 GTA I get challenged by everything else on the road. It handles so much like a daily driver that you forget the power it has and how it looks to other drivers. Regardless of the generation people love them.

Leno you got all the details on this car right. The dash cracking easily from heat is something I'm reminded of every day when I drive mine. The headlights closing by essentially just dropping down always scares passengers as they make a loud bang. It was the first car I bought maybe ten years ago and it's still my only car today. A lot of great memories as I had it all throughout my twenties. It was with me through all of my girlfriends, jobs, road trips. I learned how to do my own oil, brakes and other maintenance on it. It was a huge part of my life. She's old now and not what she used to be but I still love her for the good times. I don't have a place to keep her and it's really impractical to drive daily, I just feel bad for the thing. I may have to sell it and get a Honda Civic or something practical but I'll always remember this car fondly. Thank You for your excellent and detailed review.

This just made my day. I own that exact 2002 blue WS6 Trans AM. And just like anything that you know or own. You don't realize how good it is until you don't have it any more or someone else points out the greatness of it. Time to take out my bird for a spin and appreciate it more. Thanks Jay! :)

Man me too, I own a 1998 ws6 was originally white but my friends and I just repainted it to this color. But I added my own twist it, I added extra metallic and a silver Pearl to it. Now it’s like a Chamaeleon color. When the sun hits the paint it looks dark blue just like you see in this video, but as you look down the body lines you’ll see a dark purple. It really is so beautiful we did a great job and used a high end clear coat. She’s a diamond in the rough now!! took her for a spin earlier and love the sound of the cracking/popping exhaust pontiac all day!!

Love it! I had a 6 speed 2002 WS6 in Pewter color (purchased in 2007) but traded it for my first 4x4 after a couple years (needed a four wheel drive). Later my Dad found a blue 6 speed 2002 WS6 and has used it for a show car for many years (still almost new). Awesome that my old car (only dark blue) is still there to drive when I want to, and that one day I know I'll have her again. Looks just like this one but it's cam'd, exhaust, etc. Some of my old car's parts are installed on the blue one. We have a black '68 Firebird 400 with a fully built motor as well.
