Rebuilt title is the only downside to this sick LS1-powered Pontiac.The 4th generation Pontiac Firebird is a mean machine in stock form, but every aspect of a turbocharged Trans Am just screams cool". The LS1 engine is great engine in stock form, but it makes monster power with forced induction and when you add in the sleek lines of the final Firebird, there is nothing to dislike about a boosted bird.The only problem is that adding a turbo setup to an LS1 Firebird might be too big of a project for some people while being too expensive for others to hire a shop to do the work. Fortunately, "ZERO POLLO" listed this badass turbo Trans Am in the LS1Tech Marketplace back in October and it is still for sale today. It is pretty much fully-built from top to bottom, and it is being offered up for just $12,500.The IntroductionWhen the OP first listed his 2000 Pontiac Trans Am for sale, he shared an array of exterior shots, a few engine bay shots and a lengthy list of the upgrades.
