So freaking cool that Jack Black's son reviewed a 4th gen Trans Am! Love the 4th gen birds.
The stuff dreams were made of
I do not care about the auto transmission or the engine... Sweet car. Just seeing someone has the car and keeps it in running condition. 👌
I have a 95 Trans Am with ram air that I've owned for 19 years. I added the hood and airbox in 2008.
Beautiful TA! I've owned fourth gen Firebirds for 23 years and currently have 4. They aren't perfect, but I still love them and drive one every day.

My dream car us a 02 ws6. I've had a 84, 85, 87 and my last was a 79
Love these gens cause the price hasn’t hit the roof yet . But the Smokey and the bandit years are what everyone thinks when say trans am
Love old Pontiac’s
I've always just thought these 90s Firebirds and Camaros looked so great.
I own a pristine '94 Z28 with 48,000 miles. T-tops and every option. Love it to death. The LT1 is an awesome engine. Just a tick behind the LS1. The best cruising Camaro I have owned yet. If you get the chance to get a nice one do it. They are appreciating fast! Great video always love your stuff dude. !

This was and is still = to a low budget Ferrari in certain cities mostly the South.I came close to getting a 94 that had all kinda SLP goodies. Im still on the lookout but keep finding 3800. Good vid
GEN 4 Firebird/Formula/Trans Am are absolutely breathtakingly bold and beautiful!!!

Hi Zack I've seen all your videos and shooting cars is one of my favorite KZread channel. The way you review about car is so good. Keep up the good work bro! May you have millions of subscribers. Stay blessed.🙂👍🏻
I'm impressed there's no cracked interior (not the new factory parts added) to almost no rust anywhere like a traditional General Motors vehicle. This thing must have been stored more than driven.

Of course it's been stored, it's 19 years old with 66k miles. Keeping a car in a garage does wonders for interior quality.
Damn it. I legit was gonna message you about my 95 Trans Am. Ahh well, either way, the way you described it, the friend/family thing...absolutely perfect!

And got surprisingly good fuel economy. 260HP was pretty good for an American V8 in the mid 90s but many people suspect they were under-rated. They're simple and easy to tune.
The owner has some nice tastes, i like the subtle cosmetic changes like the painted bird in the front and the mirrored "Pontiac" in the rear
Never really been a big fan of these, (take em or leave em) but this is not only a great example, but I want it!
The WS6 option package wasn't offered until the 1996 model year. Prior to that, the only way to get a ram air hood was to buy an SLP Firehawk or the Comp T/A made in partnership with BFGoodrich. The reason this particular car is a Trans Am GT is because it had the big wing. If you didn't get the GT option, your Trans Am came with the shallow wing of the regular Firebird. The LT1 GM put in the Caprice/Roadmaster had iron heads and less HP. The F-Body LT1's were more in line with the C4 Corvette LT1.
The 4th gen Trans Am was my dream car when it came out in 93 but I was 20 years old at the time I couldn't afford the payments or insurance. I did end up owning a few different 4th gens years later and that Delco radio was the first thing to get swapped out in every one.
Next time you review an GM Fbody . Review a 1998 to 2002 Pontiac Trans am WS6 with a 6 speed manual . The ultimate Fbody besides a Blackhawk and GMMG ( ZL1 )

Don't forget about the firehawks
350 cid LT1 was first introduced on the C4 Corvette and not on the Roadmaster.
Just bought one last week!!!! I’m so excited
Had a 97 Camaro SS with this engine. The optispark distributor was horrible and under the water pump. What was GM thinking? This car taught me a lifelong lesson. Never own a car with white wheels and white leather seats.
lol.. i remember the little transmission perform. Early sport mode!!!
I currently own a 1994 Pontiac Firebird Formula V8.
As a lifelong f body guy I feel bad it took me so long to comment on this video. I love my trans am firehawk. I still get compliments on it. The trans am featured looks incredible!
I always thought the hood nostrils and wing on 90s Firebirds were ridiculous compared to the Camaro but the engine and chassis make up for it. This would spank a Mustang GT. I love how GM didn't give you a choice of where the air goes when the A/C is on. Good old dumb GM decisions. Agreed that 90s GM had the most comfortable seats.
My dream car.
I had my radio stolen back in the 90s, so the theft-lock would have been useful in my Altima, but I don't know who back in the day would break into this car just to steal the radio and not drive off with the car itself.
very clean looking trans am!!
Always wanted one of these but hearing about working on the engine being a pain always pulled me away

Get a third gen easier to work on and similar handling
One of the most underrated Cars Imo an u can get them pretty cheap. Hopefully it doesn't rise
Those bottles weren't around then.
I almost bought one of these but picked up a Camry because I needed something "practical" for work.
I remember going to the dealership in ‘95 to get his white Trans Am. It was a beast of a car at the time and once he put the Borla exhaust on it, it sang.
Love your video!
So awesome
5:35 not something a 4L60E is known for doing
About time !
First off Loved the video as a Trans am owner but ….. There is a slight problem about the info that was given The Ram Air WS6 didn’t reappear back until 1997 … The GT was virtually a dumbed down version of it without the performance gain …. “ Firebird “ = V6 base model Formula / Trans am = V8 Saying “ Firebird Trans am “ is like saying “ V6 V8 “ ….
Looks good
What a beauty 👍👍
lol this car is 2 years older than me I love it!
One of the best looking cars iv allways been a sucker for a WS6.
I had a red 96 T/A & a Silver 95 Formula. Both automatic with 3.23 rear axle. Both ran 13's in the 1/4 mile with only mod being an open air filter. The WS6 was not until 96 not 95. These Ponchos' were runners ! you could bury the 160 speedo. Seriously fast cars
The best fucking sports car !!!!
I love the trans am and firebird
I didn’t even know Trans Am GT was a thing
I really wanted one in high school, but my parents told me that it was “too old”
LSX plus Turbo 400. Resto-mod
LT1!
BEST LOOKING '94 EVER - THE TAN INTERIOR IS THE BEST!! CHECK OUT MY KITT INSPIRED '97! I NEED TO FIND WHO MAKES THE HALO LIGHTS ON YOURS CAUSE MINE KEEP DYING, AND ALSO YOUR LED HEADLIGHTS ROCK!! THE COOLEST THING IS THE BIRD LOGO BEING BLACK COLORED ON THE INSIDE - NOT JUST PAINTED OVER....
Rolled one
Man i want one so bad
*perfect proportions...
I think that one made too many trips to the Pepboys.
it's just trans am. nice trans am tho.
Technically the firebird with a v8 would’ve been called the formula. So in my opinion if your have a v6 it’s just called a firebird….
Better get them catfishes while u can z28🐅🦈😴
No mention of the horse power?
