2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am NHRA Edition
Why This Car Is Special
We have an original 2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am NHRA Edition here at Skyway Classics that was a commemorative edition to celebrate the NHRA’s 50 year anniversary in 2001 and Pontiac being a major sponsor of the NHRA for many years.
In 2001 there were only 145 produced as the NHRA option added $1,070 – $1,095 to the sticker price and included a Hurst manual 6-speed (3.42 ratio), power-steering cooling, P245/50ZR16 performance tires, and NHRA-specific badges.
The appeal of the 1SH option package (NHRA Special Edition) is parallel to the appeal of any “Anniversary edition” car or “Special pace car edition.”

Mechanical
The engine in our Trans Am is the very powerful LS1 which is actually a Corvette’s LS1 5.7-liter engine. It has the Ram Air intake that boosted power to over 325 horsepower and everything else inside the engine compartment looks just as it did as it left the factory.
It also has four-wheel disc brakes, a 6-speed manual transmission and rides on factory wide chrome mag wheels and black sidewall performance tires to keep the Ram Air Firebird planted to the ground.
Interior

In the trunk it has a modified setup for speakers to the stereo system as well as speaker covers and the original parts they replaced too.

Our TA is painted in original black paint that looks good and is set-off by the T/A emblems, NHRA Edition emblems, as well as the Ram Air hood scoop, factory ground effects, rear spoiler, removeable T-Tops, and louvered side scoops.
