Footnote References

Added footnote reference functionality into the article. We should definitely be using this a lot more in the future to keep things organized starting with all of the info in the article that needs sources. I've tagged some of it already with the {{citation needed}} tag. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Footnotes for an explanation of how to generate footnotes.

1991 GTA Engine

I found an error on the page, but I really don't want to change someone else's work (fine work too). I owned a 1991 GTA with a 5.7L engine, the LT1. You could not get the 5.7L with a manual transmission OR T-Tops, but the engine was available with all other options for 1991. I don't know if the same was available for '90 or '92, but I'm sure someone out there knows the answer for that. I don't believe there were a lot of 5.7L GTAs made in 1991, as I have only seen one other one. I also don't know the horsepower rating for the 5.7L, which is another reason why I didn't change the original entry. Anyway, thanks to the original writer for all the great information on this page. -baron_iv


  • The LT1 used in 4th gen cars was not available in 1991. There was another engine known as the LT1, but it was a standard GM engine without the reverse cooling. The current LT1 was first made available in 1992 in the Chevrolet Corvette. I don't know if you bought your car used, but if so dropping an LT1 into a third-gen car is actually a fairly common mod. Hope this helps.

Ram Air V

"From 1969 to 1970 Pontiac had the Ram Air V which was Pontiac's quickest motor. It was rated at around 375hp, and was only available as an after-market engine." If it's only available as an after-market engine then why is it mentioned? --Gbleem 03:24, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WS6 Engine

I know my 1998 Pontiac Trans Am w/ Ram Air has a WS6 Engine. No where in the article is the ws6 engine stated. It makes around 350hp. Can somebody add this in? I would but I'm really busy, just on coffee break.

There is no such thing as a WS.6 engine..98-02 had the LS1 8 Cylinder. The reason the WS.6 was rated with 15 more HP(320 vs 305 in 98) than the standard Trans Am was because of the "Ram Air".

Fair use rationale for Image:Burt Reynolds Edition Trans Am.jpg

Image:Burt Reynolds Edition Trans Am.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Knight Rider 2000

Just a minor thing, but the car in Knight Rider 2000 was a heavily modified Dodge Stealth. It was made to look more like the Banshee concept, as it was their goal to have that car, but GM apparently wouldn't give it up. The last part is rumor on a few web sites, but the fact that it was not a Banshee or a Trans Am is quite true. --oZ (talk) 05:20, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
