A neighbor kid once asked me if my 2000 WS6 T/A was a Ferrari. It had over-the-top styling, enough muscle to be dangerous, and was admired everywhere I went. I got this car up to 150 mph once out in the western desert. That was fast enough for me. Lots of bang for the buck.
I took these pictures in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah on the Alpine Loop east of Mt. Timpanogos. It was a beautiful car in a beautiful place on a beautiful day. I used them on the net to help to advertise the car. I sold it to a young avionics engineer in the USAF who had owned two Firebirds in the past. His wife and he couldn't resist this one after they found the listing. He had dreamed for years of owning this version. I'm sure he'll never let this F-body die or even see blocks.

Are you missing your old WS6? I will take the Lotus or the GTO if you need more space in the garage.
Well, no. The GTO is faster, more comfortable, and more subtly styled. The Lotus is the best handling car available in the US. I did have a lady tell me she preferred the "red one" when she saw the black Lotus and T/A side-by-side. The Firebird was a great car for the money, but the Lotus I'll keep. I seem to end up with cars that go out of production: Corvair, AMC Hornet, Firebird, GTO, Elise. What'll it be next?
