It feels funny posting this. I haven’t been on this board since 2006, but I have to thank it for so many things - cars and otherwise. I started when I was 16 and just getting into cars, and now I feel like I owe it a lot. Thanks guys!
So for the car: (PICTURE LINKS BELOW!)
This post is for a pretty unique 2001 Pontiac Firebird V6. I built this car myself and with the help of some pro friends. It's been drag-raced a little bit (<60 runs I’d say), but always on street tires - high 13's come out when you launch well. It was designed as a daily-driver though, so it's not like this is a trailer queen by any stretch.
This was my first performance car, but I have to get rid of it. I’m working on starting a company, and I need all the cash & time I can get. I probably spent over $15K on modifications over the years (not to mention the original car). It's been a great ride, but my loss in your gain.
Right now, it runs but it idles pretty rough - enough where you should probably know what you’re doing to buy this car. That’s why I’m willing to be somewhat flexible on pricing. If you want a great car that needs a little TLC - this is certainly it.
Here's the basics:
Car: 2001 Pontiac Firebird V6
Mileage: 34000 miles
Interior: Dark gray panels / gray cloth
Engine: 3.8L V6 (w/ custom turbo system)
Transmission: Automatic
Factory Options:
- Power locks/windows/seats
- Ground effects kit
- 500 Watt Monsoon Sound System w/ CD player, AM/FM, and retractable antenna.
Performance Modifications:
Engine
- Professionally Turbocharged with Custom system
- Spearco Intercooler, HKS blow-off value, Turbonetics external wastegate
- MSD DIS-4 ignition system + coil packs/wires
- Custom air intake box
- Magnaflow 3" stainless exhaust (best sounding exhaust for the V6)
- HP Tuners custom tuning software (comes with the car, $500 retail)
Suspension
- 17" Chrome Firehawk wheels + Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires (90% tread / Y-rated) - Koni single-adjustable performance shocks/struts
- Ground-Control adjustable coil-over kit + stiffer Eibach springs
- "Strano" sway-bars front&rear (setup that won F-Body autocross in 2005)
- Torque arm
Electronics
- Three interior gauges (Autometer Cobalt) were added: Boost, Fuel Pressure and air/fuel ratio.
- A/F is a wideband setup, fed in to the gauge and with it's own display in the center console
- HP Tuners engine tuning software, able to reconfigure virtually any setting for the engine/transmission.
- A currently unused Apexi AVC-R boost controller is concealed in the center console, and also an unused HKS Turbo timer in the glove box
