None worth worrying about. If anything the pontiacs had more recalls due to specific parts to the firebird/trans ams. Though check your rear differential housing for weeping as over time the gaskets age and deteriorate. Also go over all your seals (ttop seals, rear pinion, axle, intake manifold, etc) for any creasing or folding that could compromise the seal.

Basically every LS1 car I know that has either a H/C/I package or went the forced induction route needed a water pump after 100k miles. Good thing is, it's super easy to change (like if you pay someone to do it, you shouldn't be driving an LS1).
If your car isn't mod'd past bolt ons, you shouldn't have any issues.

Window motors are common repairs. They are cheap and easy to do, so don't worry when it happens. Otherwise, drive the piss out of it

depending on the sun light and the angle the paint switches from dark green to dark blue looks way better in person
