20 years later and still looks better than 95% of the car's out there.

The WS6 remains one of the dream cars on my list. Childhood memories.

Man that takes me back. I graduated H.S. in '96 and can clearly remember when this car released. I had a Fox Body at the time. The commercial for the car featured an all black Ram Air TA pulling up at a red light behind a Fox Body. When the light turned green the T.A. sucked the Fox Body up through the Ram air snout and spit it out of its tail pipe! Talk about hurting feelings. Despite me having a Fox Body back then I still loved the Trans Am. Even today I absolutely love the TA Ram Air Fire Hawk. Fun fact... A '98 Fire Hawk was the first car I ever drove that would rip tire on the expressway when punching the throttle at 60mph. I was young, dump and a stuck up Honda fan boy. Getting tire in that old Pontiac made me realize that only liking one platform was extremely stupid. I had always been a fan of speed, but that Pontiac taught me about torque. No longer was I a Honda fanboy. I was an "everything" fanboy and the possibilities were limitless. The next day I sold my little CRX and bought an '89 Fox Body. I wanted a TA but could not afford one. It's funny cause a few weeks after that is when I saw that commercial. What a nice video! The late '90s WS6 and Fire Hawk are 2 of my all time favorite cars. They take me back to a time when I first began to open up to other platforms and the beginning of me becoming a true car enthusiast. Thank you for that!

The 98-02 Trans Ams are my favorite cars. They're stunning. I own a red 98 t-top W68 Y87 Firebird. The car gets so much attention. In my area, Firebirds and Trans Ams are not common. Pontiac hit the nail on the head with the 98-02 Firebird design.

I bought my Trans Am Firehawk in 2004 under similar circumstances, it was my gift to myself for landing my first professional job after graduating college. Prior to that I had an 88 trans am gta, naturally the gen 4 was the logical upgrade. I still own the firehawk, in fact I spent the past few years restoring mine after sitting in storage for about a decade. I love the car. As it was described back in the day it's a 4 seat corvette and that sentiment still appeals to me. Great review. Just subbed.

I just bought a 2002 Trans Am this year. Not a WS6 model unfortunately, but it only had 46K on it and was in great condition.

I'm really glad you're doing older cars. On a technical scale they aren't as fast as some newer ones, or as ironed out, but I think they can be more fun for theatrics and just pure enjoyment.

Fbody love. I have an 01 Z28 M6 T-Top car in my driveway to this very day. ❤

Look at all that eye candy! Seeing that '98 Trans Am reminds me of my boss's 2001 10th Anniversary Firehawk. It has 335 Horsepower, and it's a manual. The clutch is incredibly stiff! It has really low miles on it. You looked quite happy being reunited with a familiar car! Great video, Buddy!

I had a 99 z-28 that was extremely fun and reliable and it started my love for LS cars. That trans-am looks amazing and the design has aged very well!

Love this sled. The design still rings true today. And the t-tops.. I mean you can't beat that. 🔥

No wonder I like your channel, us Pontiac Bros stick together. I had a silver 2000 firebird with smoke tinted glass/ t-tops and a midnight blue metallic 2005 LS2 GTO. Every time I see a clean F-body or GTO on the road I smile💪🏾🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥👍🏿

I had a '96 Firebird Firehawk. It was awesome. Mine was hard top with a torsen limited slip, SLP exhaust (I believe only one year due to being loud), Hurst short throw, and oil coolers from the factory. I put a x2 52 mm throttle body on it (came with a x2 48 to make less HP than the vette) and GM had a TSB so I could get an AL drive shaft for free. I ended up putting an underwrite pully on it to keep power steering fluid cooler. It was a beast. I was passing NSXs of the time at Mid Ohio with some race tires on the thing. It was glorious. Sometimes I wish I never sold it but I wasn't getting much use out of it anymore so off to a good home it went.

Love you enthusiasm for all the different cars you review. Keep on keepin’ on. Love the channel.

Awesome dealership. There's at least 2 dozen cars I'd love to have just from a few moments of watching. The smile on your face is why any one of them is better than any EV. Great vid, thanks!

That car looks timeless! I remember when they came out!👍😁

I have a 2001 Camaro SS with 44k original miles on it black with red SS trimming, with racing suspenion from top to bottom, same with engine and the 6speed transmission. Blast to drive, one awesome FAST car! 4th gen Camaros and Trans ams are one of the best generation cars ever built. 💪💯

Wow! awesome car. My first ever muscle car was a 1999 Trans Am. My Trans Am wasn't a WS6 but I did put a ram air hood on it and ironically the same exact stripe kit with the bird on the hood (mine was blue stripes on a white car like the anniversary cars). This brought back so many memories for me. I miss that car so much.

What a sweet video! Like many people, I saw this car ripping up the local streets when I was in high school. I said I would get one one day. Back in 2018 I bought a 2002 CETA, the yellow version. It just turned 30k miles. Mine is a WS6 6speed and love it to this day. It’s raw and with a full Kooks exhaust from the heads back, true duel, sounds amazing. The pops on it are awesome. And no joke, she’s keeps right up with a 5.0!

Man…..I totally agree about the nostalgia of that car! I use to have a 89 Firebird Formula with some upgrades. I LOVED that car and people knew my car before me. Great living vicariously through your content. Thanks

I had a 2002 WS6 Trans Am. I bought new. I ended up putting a ProCharger on it with additional modifications to the car. I ended up selling it and bought a 2015 Z/28.

They definitely don't make them like that anymore & Trans Ams were some of the most beautiful muscle cars! That's a Gem!!❤️

Something about a nice deep gold paint job!

They have some nice cars in their inventory

awesome video brother I love seeing your true joy and enthusiasm for this car ! Definitely do wish they came out with more of them

Great throwback video. The sound system on this car is the original GM Monsoon system in red back-lit. This particular model has the cassette tape and integrated equalizer with 6 speakers, 2 at the front doors with tweeters, two by the rear seats, and two in the hatch / rear compartment. In 97-98 they switched from cassette to CD players with integrated EQs, all the way to the end of production (2002). This car is a blast from the past.

I owned a 2000 WS6 RamAir TA, Red was my color and Oh it looked so Beautiful with the chrome WS6 wheels that was on it with 285 40 17 square stance. On the street it was monster, every car that challenged me at the stop light got their Azz handed to them. But my TA had a few bolt-ons. K&N air filter, Hooker long tube headers, SLP exhaust, and 125hp dryshot from Nos.

The Trans Am is great, the 98-02 ram air cars have been a top 5 favorite designs since they came out. The car you called a big old ghostbusters car, was a 1956 Ford Parklane 2 door wagon, a super rare car on it's own. I personally don't think it's a big car, but i've wanted one forever and about fell off my chair when you passed a mint example at this dealership.

I ordered one the moment I saw it on the front page of Car and Driver back in 1998. What a ride. Thanks for the memories!

Streetside classics have amazing cars! Little pricey but they look great. Love the content! Keep it up 🤘🏻

How cool is that!!! Those were definitely the shit back then! I’m 50 and definitely remember all the Trans Am’s and Iroc’s.. great upload Sir X

Awesome video X! More content like this please. Can't beat the classics

Still one of Pontiacs greats

Great video, I couldn't stop smiling. Thank you.

I plan to put some forced induction on my 94 Z-28. Muscle car dreams at that place!! Thanks for the coverage!! I died twice on an operating table because of a car crash in 93. I remember a Z-28 in a magazine and dreamed of it for months. Now I have that dream and she's my baby with the Lt1 and a 6 speed. Super charging my gal is in the future plans. Thanks!! Great build!!

This was my dream car when I was in HS. I graduated in 2001 and remember it very clearly

Definitely a Sweet ride...there are some that don't remember cassettes, well I go back to 8-tracks. Another Great video, keep up the amazing work showing amazing cars!

I finally bought the trans am I wanted while in high school. 2001 ws6 85k miles, 4 speed. So glad I bought it, can't wait to pass it down when I am older.

I hope 🙏 these guys are weathering the storm ok . The vehicles at this place are true time machines. Stay safe down there. You got my sub

ty for sharing, great review, you did make me remember my 01 ws6 ...

Just bring back memories, awesome car trans am

The 98-02 Trans Am will always be my favorite Firebird I am currently searching for another Trans Am as we speak

I have lived in Tampa for over 20 years and have never heard of this place. It's amazing. Will definitely be stopping in. Thanks Racer X.👍

Love my 96 Firebird... still get compliments on it to this day

Those trans and r really growing on me, I had a 73&75 back in the day.

My 2001 WS6-6 spd. 373 gears Shorty headers,stage 2 cam with a tune . Put a smile on my face every time I drove it. I beat cars that ran 11:8 in 1/4 mile, from a roll 1-3 I beat any car that ran the 1/4 mile 11:8 -12:0 .. Some guys had to pull me over to see if I had Nos. Or a pro charger… I sold it with 7.K miles bad in 2010 for. 22.k .. I wish I still had my WS6..

I bought a 98 trans am ws6 with 118k miles, exhaust, rims, radio, aftermarket intake, oil catcher, 85mm throttle body, strut bar and suspension package earlier this year in april for $8k after saving and being 21 yrs old I can say easily it's the best car i've ever owned the car is a absolute dream to drive and literally has me smiling each time I get behind the wheel just as you were while driving that supercharged beast haha. Thanks for the video and showing off this amazing car that deserves the love. I hope to get my car supercharged in the future

Thank you very much. I absolutely love the Trans Am, always been a popular car no matter what the year. These cars were also lighter than the modern muscles cars coming in at 3400 pounds it was cool. Thanks for sharing captain.

I sure do miss Plymouth, they should've stuck around there would have been some amazing road runners and cudas during the hellcat age. I miss Pontiac too but not as much as Plymouth. I wouldn't mind a restomod 69 roadrunner

I always loved the firebird bring back memories

I remember when that body style came out in 93. I saw one on the showroom floor. A red formula. Bought it that day. Then I saw a new 03 Corvette z06 in electron blue. Went home with it. That was my favorite car I ever owned. Great memories.

I rode in one when they just came out a factory ws6 they are dope that first gear pull is amazing

That thing looks so good! Loved the review. My buddy had a fire bird back in the day & he locked his puppy in his car with keys. He told me to help him break his passenger side window to get the dog out. It was not easy. That window kicked our butts!!

I own 2 fbody cars a 02 Camaro SLP and a 02 Firehawk I absolutely love them.

It took me back as well but looking at that big smile on your face was very enjoyable because i had one 😄

Very Cool.You feature all the coolest cars on your channel.

I'm with you on the liking of this car. I've always been a fan of the older 70's / 98 to 99, and the ram air intake was a plus for the car.

I miss mine so much. I had a 97 p1sc supercharger and a bucket load of supporting mods. Lt1 so it only put out 440 hp to the rear. Best damn car I ever owned

You brought me back as well, in High School (circa 77') I had a 1974 Gold Formula 455 with Factory Ram Air. IF I could have one car back, it would be that Formula 455. Triple

This car has really wicked & sexy lines! I completely agree, it was really well designed! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Hope you get to go back there and spend more time with the classics, would love to see them. Thanks for the video.

Love seeing that LS1 beautiful car. 😍

I had the ‘97 ram air trans am (.the cone nose) So this review really takes me back Thank you

That’s BEAUTIFUL 🤩

I had a 2001 version convertible. I poured my heart and soul into that car. I bought it crashed and built it back up again. The color on mine was considered pewter, but my neighbors had it towed when my grandma died. I miss that car, it gave me the feeling of freedom, with the top-down driving people used to compliment me on it, great I'm going to start crying now.

Great stuff, love the late 90 early 00 stuff I keep buying stuff from these years and reliving my childhood dreams of one day driving this stuff. It’s cheap fun and they may be slower than most performance things today but who cares.

My first performance car was a 1969 GTO I bought back in 85. It would lay rubber in all three gears I loved that car.

Loved the 5th gen F bodies. I owned a 95 Formula Firebird and a 02 6speed T/A. I wanted a Carl Black edition Blackhawk soooo bad back in the day but was too young and broke. I’d love to have an 02 WS6 in Daytona orange with black leather. That was my dream combo!

Beautiful looking car

That's awesome X, kid in a candy store. I love those cars too👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Ive always been a fan of the trans am. My last one was also a 98 ws6. Had single on the left exhaust, which was only that year.

Damn, I really miss T-Tops! Heck, too many fun cars don't even offer a moon roof now, sigh..... I love these types of reviews, keep 'em coming please!!!!!

I've always been a Trans Am fan since the first time I saw Smokey & the Bandit as a kid. That last gen T/A was the best there ever was. Just love it!!!! 😍 And it came with the Tremec T56 6-speed! 😈

I admire those who keep their cars looking showroom new.

Still have and love my 2002 Firehawk. Soo much fun.

Man beautiful car, my first purchase when I moved down here to FL was a 2002 WS6 Trans AM with 50K original miles found it down in Cape Coral. Love those 4th Gen Birds !!!

Stunning car. I always lived the gold 98 cars.

Very cool car! Very cool review!

Man. What a great car. I'm a mustang guy all day. So is my brother. Specifically the SN/new edge platform. But this is a car I'd take all day. Back in the day my mom bought a 2001 Z28. T tops, disc changer in the back. Midnight blue. This brought me back to those days.

I had always wanted one of these when I was younger. Closest I got was a 94 Firebird Formula V8 when I was a teen.

Being a Ford guy, I bought a gold 98 TA for my daily driver about a year ago, and absolutely love it. Got some vids posted on it, but just like you said, EVERYONE in their 50’s has a soft spot for a TransAm!

My friend had one of these in black. I had the model before in red! I miss both of them!!

Wow, who wouldn't love to have that in their garage!

I'm loving that color, nice ride I had 3 Pontiacs over my life time.

I pray that one day I can get one of these the WS6 I want this over a Lamborghini it has always been my dream car

Nice presentation. I owned a 1996 formula added some mods. LT1 six speed and gotta tell ya it’s one of the best handling cars around even for its age.I enjoyed driving it every time. Would love to get my hands on that car tour showing but with a sixer.Deff one of the best looking fun driving cars ever.

I love them. I raced a black WS6 about 8 months back in my wife's Model Y telsa. It was absolutely hilarious to see the look on his face at the next light. He looked like a guy stuck in the early 2000s in rural West Virginia. Wasn't a fan of electric cars btw, I've owned V8s my whole life but that thing moves. I pulled at least 5 cars on him before letting off. It was definitely a heads/cam setup WS6 from a 30 roll. I kept waving forward to hit and he just shook his head like "wtf is this?" Finally, he took off and pulled a fender on me before I reeled him in like a freight train. I've been street racing since around 95 and I've never pulled a car that hard, especially something fast

I have one back 2002 black ws6 is super nice car this video brings me back memories of my ws6

I absolutely love the ws6. I just wish you would've pointed out to everyone that it was 25 YEARS OLD.

I had one. Bought it new in 1998 . It was black. It was the commercial that sold me on it it showed the camera going through the ram air through the motor and then out the exhaust. Payed 32000.00 for it. That was a lot back then. I am in oh. The dealership had to call around because there wasn’t internet. They found one in pa. and had it shipped to my dealer. I wanted a 6 speed but they couldn’t find one. So I got a automatic. Still fun. Unfortunately it’s spent more time in the shop with recalls and problems with everything from oil leaks to windshield wipers not working. So I sold it with only 11000 miles on it.

I have a black 02 ws6. I get so many compliments, sticks out so much.

I live in a pretty small town and there are two nearby. It’s still one of my dream cars and I’m 50 now

I like the '85 model myself. I always thought the styling on the '98 was to gaudy to much going on. Fantastic low mile example trans-am. I'm not hating on it, it's really nice just not my cup of tea. Super Charger and other upgrades done well, color and stripe combination are attractive you definitely will get noticed in that car that's what comes with spoilers and stripes. Your enthusiasm for it is all good you owned one and enjoyed it nothing wrong with that. My brother in law had a '78 trans-am gold paint, gold tinted t-tops with the brown pinstripes snow flake gold wheels 400 pontiac w turbo 400 trans and a 4:10 posi rear end good times in our youth in that car. Nice story about your connection to your trans-am.

Man oh Man! That's an incredible place!

Awesome Ride !!

Love the Chanel and that Trans Am

Just picked up a 2000 TA, love it

Trans Am will always have a special place in my heart. Because smokey and the bandit was one of the movies that made me fall in love with cars dukes of hazard and Kitt! Cannon Ball run . Then my uncle comes to town in a corvette and it was on I have owned two vetts two iroc-z 's two Z-28 's . And my next project will be a ATS-V!

2:07 my first car!!! Mine was a 1970 Malibu low option car with a 350 SB and th350 transmission and drum brakes all around. The previous owner installed firebird knuckles and disc brakes on the front. It was super fun and really worn out. I miss that car.

One of my top 3 dream cars
