Page 1 of 1 Still exhilarating after all these years, the Pontiac Firebird entered the 2002 model year as the most exciting car in GM's excitement division. Several once-optional features are now standard for 2002. The ultimate expression of Firebird muscle, Trans Am, was offered in both coupe and convertible editions. Standard equipment included removable roof panels with sunshades, leather seating surfaces and an uplevel rear spoiler for the coupe. The 5.7L LS1 introduced leading-edge technologies to the grand tradition of the GM small-block V8, including all-aluminium construction, a thermoplastic intake manifold. Measured by mass, package size, performance or cost to the customer, the 5.7L LS1 matches the world's best overhead cam V8s. With this new small block, those who claimed cam-in-block engines could not meet the demands of a new decade-or increasingly stringent emissions standards-were proven patently wrong. Formula and Trans Am drivers get 310 horsepower and 461 Nm of torque, while Trans Am drivers opting for Ram Air will enjoy 325 horsepower and 475 Nm. Available transmissions for the LS1 include a six-speed manual or four-speed automatic. Page 1 of 1
