Default 01 Red T/A WS6 M6 with LS3

I'm putting this up for sale to gauge any interest. I don't need to sell it but it it sells it will help me pay off some debt that I would much rather have paid off and linger over my head.

The car is a LS3 swapped 2001 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 Red M6 with all bolt-ons and a cam. The interior is black ebony leather with the seats in good condition. It has about 118K miles on the car. The car has been a southern car up until I bought it, but has never seen snow. The body is pretty much rust free if any at all. The engine and clutch has just under 10,000 miles on it.

The engine has been properly broken in and has run great with no issues. During the break-in process I used Rottela T and a K&N filter. I have always used K&N filters on this engine. After the break-in period I have used Castrol Syntec 0W-30 or 5W-30. I have seen no metal shavings come out of the pan when doing oil changes. Oil changes were done ever 2500-3000 miles.

When I got it dyno tuned it put down 435RWHP, but the tuner said his dyno reads low. For example C6 Z06's dyno 435RWHP on his dyno but dyno 455RWHP everywhere else. Though with the cutout now installed it seems about 15 RWHP/RWTQ is added. TJ at Baker Engineering tuned it and it runs and drives very smooth. I drive it everyday and I can cruise at 40mph in sixth at 900 rpms even with the cam. This car could EASILY be in the 480-490RWHP range with a Stage 2 Ported Intake.

If there are any other questions please don't hesitate to post or PM me. Anyways here is a list of modifications, the dyno video. I will add some pictures at the end.

The not so good: I had a child of a friend think it would be fun to take his toy car to my car and well it left some pretty deep scratches. I left it with the intent of getting the whole car repainted this winter. The clear has really peeled back on the hood but most of the other scratches are pretty shallow. There is some clear peeling on the drivers door. There are also rock chips on the front bumper and headlight covers and some scrapes on the bumper and rockers from bottoming out. The sail Panel has some bubbling. The arm rest button is missing and there is a crack in the driver door panel. The driver seat is getting worn on the bolster but hasn't worn all the way through. There is a wear spot through the carpet by the gas pedal.

Again this car is a great car whether it be someones daily driver or weekend car. With the cutout closed the car is barely louder than stock and virtually no rasp due to the Flowmaster merge. With the cutout open it sounds amazing and definitely turns heads with lots of approval. I have taken this car on two 2000 mile trips and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. I averaged between 20-22 mpg on the trips. The heat blows hot and the A/C is ice cold. The car definitely turns heads and I hate to think about selling it but like I said before I would really like to get out of debt. The car runs great with no mechanical hiccups, just needs a few cosmetic fixes. Also the car has a clean title with no accidents. I would be looking for around $12K firm as it sits. The car will be going to the paint shop in the next couple weeks. When that is done I will be asking $14K firm. Again I am gauging interest so please feel free to ask questions. Thanks for looking!

Thanks it definitely is a bad *** engine! I'm not a mechanic by trade just something that me and my whole family has been into for a long time. I got the engine here in Michigan from a guy that was going to use it for a project and never got around to it.

And for anyone interested the pictures will be up tonight! If I could get a few potential buyers by the end of the week that would be great!

Let see if I can't get some more interest, $13.5K to anyone that wants it painted.

Also I think I'll throw it up on eBay sometime this week.

Thanks for the bump! Your T/A is CLEAN!!!

I'll be putting it up on eBay tomorrow. I've got another car that I am interested in, but I need to sell this one first.
