Combination of leading edge Auburn Gear and American Axle Manufacturing technology enhances traction and helps reduce differential operating temperatures under certain driving conditions. System detects variance in the gripping force of each rear tire and redistributes the engine load as road conditions change, thereby enhancing vehicle performance and stability. -Bilstein Ultra Performance Suspension System (35% had this option) Offers handling that, according to Car and Driver magazine, "...works smarter, not harder...We're hard pressed to think of a car that rides better on 17-inch tires..." Motor Trend magazine added this assessment, "Handling? How about .91g on the skidpad?..." (Not offered on Firehawk convertible.) -Castrol 'Syntec' High Performance Lubricants Package (39% had this option) Castrol "Syntec" full synthetic engine oil provides superior protection and performance. Castrol "Syntec protects in ways other cars can't." The Castrol "Syntec" lubricants package includes Castrol's 500,000-mile "Maximum Protection" limited engine warranty program -All-new, exclusive deck-lid spoiler with high mounted stop lamp (only available on Trans Am coupe) This was a one-year option and can't be found on any other year Firehawk. Only 17% of 2000 Firehawks had this and this is one of 10 Navy Blue to have it. -17"x 9" Chrome-Plated, 5-spoke Aluminum Wheels (82% had this option) In addition to these options, the following aftermarket modifications have been made. No expense was spared to further enhance the performance and cornering rigidity of this car: BMR - control arms - adjustable torque arm - panhard bar - transmission crossmember - rear-sway bar TBYRN - subframe connectors Hotchkis - strut tower brace Pro 5.0 Short-throw shifter BBK ported throttle body SLP Longtube headers SLP High-flow catalytic converters Borla full cat-back 3" adjustable exhaust with dual-dual intercooled tips This car has not been abused or raced, rather the above mods enhance the typical driving experience (on-ramps, for instance). I have owned this car for the last 8 years and can say it drives as well as it did (nay, better) when new. It has an impressive torque and power band throughout the RPM range but can still deliver civil highway comfort and MPG (27+). Inside it is stock, even retaining the Pontiac Pioneer CD player (although the rear mounted 12-disc holder needs replacing). The only addition is a small plaque with the build number and a automatic alarm system (with control built into the factory key-fob). Interior is in great shape with very very minor wear on the driver bolster and a small hole from the previous owner. The typical window-sill cracks are present but not bad. The sun-visors will need replacing as the internal cardboard has aged but are still functional. Cosmetically, the car has less than normal rock chips in the front, a light scratch on the front fender and some minor pitting on the wheels. All paint is factory. Tires still have a lot of tread (rears replaced two years ago) and brake pads are recent. Wires have been replaced within the last year as well. Whoever owns this car next will not be disappointed. The mileage is low but not so much that you won't feel bad enjoying this car for what she was born to do! I hate to let her go but I'm starting a new job and can't take them all with me (I also have a nice, slightly modified 1996 Impala SS DMMG for sale too if interested) so it is time for someone else to love and appreciate this phenomenal auto. The car is located in Myrtle Beach so feel free to fly in (easy to get around!) and drive her home. I'm happy to set up any meetings with interested parties.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
