2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, United States
|
In 2002 there was no car like this one, period. No other car (save the 1995 ZR1) was faster, and no other handled like it (it out performed any Ferrari of the period). This immaculate 2002 Pontiac Trans Am started life as a stock WS6. With factory approval (to maintain the factory warranty at the time), modifications were performed by the authorized factory technicians at the dealership, Sheehan Pontiac. Virtually every aspect of the car has been modified and the Pontiac was transformed into the "Slingshot", a trademarked conversion.
This is a "one of one" conversion and the car was originally sold for over $70,000 to a private collector where it remained since new... until now. This Pontiac is a "Supercar" in every respect. The original engine of 330 HP has been cranked up to 400HP++. The suspension was modified beyond "Supercar" standards, and the exterior and interior of the car was up-graded to include exotic Italian leathers. The wheels and tires were up-graded, including the installation of Ferrari racing wheels. Every modification was designed to improve performance, reduce weight or enhance appearances. All of the modifications can not listed here, but they are carefully documented in a special Sheehan presentation binder. When completed, the car was named the "Slingshot". All of the WS6 badging was eliminated and replaced with the Slingshot emblems. Only one "Slingshot" was completed before GM finally announced the end of the Pontiac brand altogether. This car is the ultimate collector piece as it will never bee seen again. Please email me with any questions. Thanks for looking! |

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
