Trans Am NHRA Edition
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, 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."
