2002 Pontiac
Slingshot
My guarantee...If this Pontiac is not exactly as described, I will return the buyers money AND even pay for return shipping! I will put this in writing upon purchase for peace of mind! The first thing you notice is this special edition of the TransAM appears to be longer and sleeker than the stock TransAM or ANY other TransAM there is...That's because the car sports new 19 inch Michelin Sports and magnesium Alms racing wheels (instead of the stock 17's painted wheels). The car is also lowered, but there is still plenty of height to negotiate the steepest grades. All of the emblems on the car are air-brushed (except stock Ram Air emblem on hood) and clear coated. The red side markers are NOT red...they are clear to better match the silver paint. All of the paint work is per factory and has a deep gloss finish. The flip up headlights have been replaced with fixed high intensity lights (see explanation below). In a few words, the presents as new! As you climb in the cabin, you notice that all the GM plastic has been replaced with the finest leather seating and includes the doors. You also notice that the cheap sill plate has been replaced with polished billet aluminum full length sill plate. Your eye is drawn to the fact that EVERY cheap plastic control knob, including the shift ball has been replaced with solid aluminum billet knobs.The pedals are all aluminum with the stamped WS6 logo on each. In a few words, the cabin presents as a high end sports car! With the car at idle, there is the characteristic American V-8 rumble, which flows through hand fabricated stainless exhaust tips with a ceramic coated interior. At full throttle the the roar turns heads...at highway speed the exhaust noise disappears. In first gear the power is immediate, but as it moves through the RPM range you would swear the engine is supercharged. A surge of power at 3000 RPM's pins the driver even further into the seat back. This happens in all of the first 4 gears. This Supercar can reach 60 mph in first gear! The steering is simply amazing! It tracks straight and true and the progressive variable steering effort is reminiscent of a Ferrari. The slightest hand movement changes the car's direction. The steering mechanicals are SUPERB! If you are the least bit shy about being asked questions at every fuel stop and every red light, and having cell phones pointed at you all the time, this is not the car for you! But, if you want a machine that is EXTRAORDINARY this IS the car for you! It is being offered at a fraction of the cost to build it! Think of it this way...you are looking at and can purchase what is essentially a brand new car with over 400 HP with NO GAS GUZZLER TAX, and NO LUXURY TAX and what will be a fraction of the sales tax originally paid on this car! This car IS NOT a WS6, it is much, much faster, handles immensely better and is more luxurious! It IS NOT a Firehawk, it is much, much faster, handles better and is far more luxurious. It is not a Carl Black Blackbird, it is much, much faster, handles better and is far more luxurious! Why would anyone buy a Carl Black Trans Am that has half of the Supercar modifications and selling for nearly double the price? This brand new Firebird Trans AM with
every factory option was transformed by Sheehan Pontiac in Florida with full factory approval, meaning the full warranty remained in place for the car. Literally, few nuts and bolts were left unturned making this last production year,
the last “Of the Breed” into a true exotic Supercar. There will never be another Pontiac Trans AM Slingshot! The goal of the transformation was fairly simple…use revised proprietary vehicle geometry, increased power output, reduced unsprung weight and reduced the drag coefficient to build a one-of-a-kind best of the best among Supercars of the era. All of the modifications were
performed by master mechanics at Sheehan Pontiac, the largest Pontiac
dealership in Florida
in 2002. Let’s walk through most of the

to establish the “bloodline and model”. At over 400 HP, the Slingshot is a truly high performance car that was designed as a drag racing or circuit track vehicle, though it never has been raced. The car has resided in a private collection since its original build. It is the only Slingshot ever produced, so this is the only one in existence.The Slingshot name and logo are trademarked and reserved. The original sticker price of a Trans AM optioned like this one was approximately $30,000 in 2002. This build added approximately another $40,000 to the sticker price at the time. The Slingshot was nearly a $70,000 Supercar in 2002. During the years in a private collection, the Slingshot was maintained in immaculate condition, and at 1,554 original miles the car is essentially new. It can be enjoyed as a driver, preserved as an investment, or shown as a rare example of a now gone breed. Be prepared to be stunned.
This is a beautiful, extraordinarily powerful exceptional handling, rare
one-of-a-kind driving machine! All Perspective Buyers are strongly encouraged to have the
Slingshot third-party inspected BEFORE offering not after you are the
winning bidder. A $500.00 deposit is required within 48 hours of a winning bid. Full payment is required within seven (7) working days. The Slingshot is offered as is and where is.

'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
Porsche Boxster Spyder to get GT3's 4.0-liter flat six?
Sun, Feb 4 2018It's been a merry-go-round the past few months, the rumormill focused on what will power the next Porsche Boxster Spyder. First came hearsay of a flat-six going into the special edition of a model line known for its turbocharged four-cylinder engines. Then came tattling that the flat-six in question was the naturally aspirated, 4.0-liter from the 911 GT3. A couple of weeks ago we wrote " we'd be surprised if Porsche packed anything other than a turbocharged flat-four under the skin." But Autocar has a new report that, indeed, a downtuned version of the 500-horsepower 4.0-liter from the GT3's rump will move to the Boxster Spyder's midsection. The Autocar piece follows a Wheels magazine article from last November, and the prediction isn't outrageous. When Car and Driver reviewed the last Boxster Spyder, it wrote, "the hand-me-down six comes from the older 911 Carrera S, not to be confused with the new turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six that powers the refreshed 911." If we can believe a recent report from Automobile about the 992-series 911 due later this year, the same thing is happening: The 991.2-series GT3 bequeaths its powerplant to the smaller sibling, and the 992-series GT3 moves to a 3.8-liter, twin-turbo flat-six with around 550 hp. Autocar quotes Andreas Preuninger, the Porsche engineer leading the development of all of these wunderkinds, saying of the Boxster earlier this year, "Natural aspiration is one of our main USPs. ... [We] think we can achieve throttle response and immediacy a little bit better with an atmospheric high-revving engine than any kind of turbo." We'll guess that means, by inference, that the GT3 is about to age out of naturally-aspirated university. The limited-edition Boxster Spyder might carry the torch with the 4.0-liter, with output somewhere around 430 hp. The Cayman GT4 could do the same. Or, who knows, an evolution of the 375-hp, 3.8-liter flat-six in the previous Boxster Spyder might burble out of left field. We expect to see the Boxster Spyder late this year. Until then, we'll wait to see what the merry-go-round says next time the Zuffenhausen horse comes around.

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Pontiac Fiero GT
Wed, Nov 2 2022If you like affordable, mid-engined two-seaters, the 1980s were your decade. Fiat (and, a bit later, Bertone) offered the X1/9, Toyota sold MR2s, and even General Motors got into the act by creating the Fiero. Available from the 1984 through 1988 model years, the Pontiac Fiero showed plenty of promise but ended up being mostly disappointing, in some ways echoing the career of the Chevy Corvair of a couple of decades earlier. Today's Junkyard Gem is a once-spiffy 1986 Fiero GT, found in a self-service yard near Denver, Colorado. After a long and painful development period stretching all the way back to John DeLorean's XP-833 Banshee (which ended up being a major influence behind the original Opel GT), the Fiero finally debuted in 1983 as a 1984 model. The top-of-the-model-range GT appeared the following year. The Fiero was built as a notchback coupe and as a fastback, with all the GTs being the latter type. I couldn't get the engine lid open, but this car would have left the assembly line (in Pontiac, Michigan) with a 2.8-liter V6 rated at 140 horsepower. This car has a five-speed manual transmission, making it a credible rival for Toyota's MR2. The 1986 MR2 was less powerful than the Fiero GT (112 horsepower versus 140), but also scaled in significantly lighter (2,459 pounds against the Pontiac's 2,780 pounds). The MR2 also cost less, priced at $11,298 while the Fiero GT cost $12,875 (that's about $30,540 and $34,805, respectively, in inflation-adjusted 2022 dollars). Meanwhile, the $6,998 Honda Civic CRX two-seater lured away many potential Fiero buyers despite being a front-engined/front-wheel-drive car, and the $7,186 Ford EXP/Mercury LN7 also put a dent in Fiero sales. I can't find a price for the 1986 Bertone X1/9, but it cost a hard-to-believe $13,990 in 1984. GM still was using five-digit odometers in many vehicles by the middle 1980s, but this Fiero has a six-digit unit and thus we can see that it nearly achieved 150,000 miles during its driving career. The 1984-1987 Fiero suffered from a parts-bin suspension design, with the front suspension borrowed from the Chevrolet Chevette and the entire rear transaxle/suspension assembly lifted from the front end of the Chevrolet Citation. For the 1988 model year, GM finally spent the money to design an improved Fiero-specific suspension … and then promptly put a halt to production.
