I'm thinking of bidding on this bad-boy, but how much is it actually worth?

Give him $1,000 less than he's asking because of the Princess music in the video.

I dont think thats a true WS6 car...nice the "custom hood" and "my personal 1999 pontiac trans am" .

If it says its a WS6, then my bad...must have overlooked it. Just check and see if its a true WS6.

From the way he is decribing the car it doe snot sound like a real WS6..

BTW there is no performance difference between the WS6 and the regular TA.. In fact they are slower than the base LS-1 formula. the formula had the same HP at the wheels and was the lightest of the LS-1 F-bods..

The autos are almost as fast as the 6 speeds... and you don't have to worry about exploding the rear end when pounding gears.

Trans-ams are so sexy, 98+ are hands down my favorite F-body car ever

most of the locals with exploding rears are running the crappy chevy auto woth a big stall. I would think a manual would be harder on the paper mache' they call a 10 bolt though. but it doesnt seem that way around here

true, I never thought of the impact when you bring a stall into the picture. What was GM thinking when they designed that car? Its basically a Ford V6 7.5" rear-end paired to a 300+ hp engine.

From what i've read, you need to swap the rear regardless of what trans you have if you're going to add any power. I love those cars, a black/black t-top M6 is something i've always wanted .....too bad the interior is ugly as sin tho.

I'll take a GM Auto over my 4r70w anytime

I've rode in a few automatic fbods, and the automatic didn't seem bad at all?
