Pontiac Firebird Trans Am commercial (1986)

[leadguitar500]

@BeeABaw to bad you didn't go to my high school my 1998 camaro was cammed by the end of senior year

[MaestroTJS]

This should be put in a time capsule as the epitome of mid-'80's "cool."

Awesome commercial.

[momo3230]

BUEN VIDEO EL PONTIA ES LA VERGA

[TheCaptureable]

1966 -67 Pontiac GTO @ 14

[V8TransAmGTA]

Luv that commercial!!! So 80's...

[DanieleCreole]

If you guys like music like this search for the "Rosso Corsa Collective" in google. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. It'll take you all the way back to the 80s.

[69mexicanpride]

the 80s had hot women!

[daylow1923]

he gives you that o'yea look cause he know he is getting pussy to nite....THANK YOU TRANS-AM !!!!

[marijnes77]

I would love to know who did the music for this ad.

[DanieleCreole]

@marijnes77 I don't know who did this but if you want music like it search on youtube for "Kavinsky", "Lazerhawk", "Mitch Murder", "Multipac" or just type in "Rosso Corsa Collective" in google and go to their site to hear retro 80s music.

[marijnes77]

@DanieleCreole I'm actually a pretty big fan of Kavinsky. Haven't heard of the others though but I'll be sure to check them out. Thanks!

[luFrullato]

In those cases I would really like to tell youtube 'put a repeat button'



[crankybitch]

Quite possibly the greatest commercial ever made.

[benno0411]

'we build excitement' - gold

[whiteyak5]

Not gonna lie but I personally think that all the cars from the 80's looked like garbage when compared to cars from the late 60's 70's then 90's and 2000's. I think everyone was on dope in the 80's. Still love my Pontiac tho ^_^

[LS1Hawk]

These cars made girls wet.

[keriplaton]

@LS1Hawk é vero, ahahahaha

[MissyDeSoulis]

@LS1Hawk They still do!

[MrMrsean2011]

COOL

[darktrainfilms]

@RomneyPHONY I miss the old pontiacs. There was more car love back then. Knight Rider was a glorified car commercial, but I loved it as a kid. I am working on a film that features a classic Pontiac in it.

[Novantii]

ive never owned a car or motorcycle that wasnt made in the 80s and never will

this video tells you why

the 80s hold the key to ultimate power

[Novantii]

80s shit on all other decades

[HRVAT1975]

she's hot!!!!

[darktrainfilms]

Hmm. Old school synths, a Billy Jean kind of beat, steam, neon FX, slick. A very period commercial. This is like a 30 second time capsule, and I like it better than the old jingles that used to be prevalent in car ads back when I was a kiddoe. LOL

[nyydwall]

Any one else smell the recipe of Knight Rider in this ad? lol. Awesome.

[homiex04]

IF U HAD A TRANS AM IN THE 80'S U ROCKED LIKE HELL AND MOST LIKLEY GOT LAID OFTEN

[sanjathefabulous]

she looks like posh 

[MrRemyBonjasky]

lol pontiac shut sown lol

[SyHopeful]

Don Draper would be proud.

[Quatermain98526]

The Pontiac Trans Am, complete with a 5.0 V8 producing a WHOPPING...190 horsepower? Bahaha...wait 7 years, until 1993 with the LT1. 275HP then.

[Roadghost88]

@Quatermain98526 LMAO, so true. The third gens were a nice looking car but dogs for power. The 80s were a great party, great music, lots of hot chicks wanting to get laid, but there wasn't any fast cars by today's standards.

[Quatermain98526]

@Roadghost88 Now the 2002 Pontiac Trans Am Firehawk edition, complete with 350HP...I would own that car for life and probably never be disappointed with its performance. 0-60 in 4.8 seconds? That's more than I could ever ask for. The best looking Trans Am too.

[3800fiero]

@Quatermain98526 It was a great looking car and designed very well. Believe it or not, you only need 20HP to do a burn out. 190HP was more than enough for public roads.

[Quatermain98526]

@3800fiero 20HP to do a burnout? I think more goes into it than that...I had a 1995 T-bird 3.8 V6 with 140HP, that car could not do a burnout for the life of it...every now or then it might squeal the tires a tad..., but I'd have to hold the brake down to get the tires spinning.

190HP was good for a 0-60 time of 8.0 seconds, most modern day 4 cylinder cars are about that fast...190HP was okay for the time, but over all not too fast.

[CamaroAmx]

@Quatermain98526 the 3.8 in the firebird/camaro made 200hp. my old 94 3.4l camaro could do a burnout just fine with its 160hp, abeit a one wheel peel though.

[nyydwall]

@Quatermain98526

Surely a sad time for the power legacy of the Trans Am, lets not get carried away though. The 1989 Turbo Trans Am will run with the best of em.

[91TransAmKid]

@nyydwall unless you had a corvette, or a grand national, these cars were considered fast back in there time, since they did have a bunch of torque with the tune port motors, and 87 with the 350s and only went up in horsepower each yr til 92. So they weren't that horrible.

[nyydwall]

@91TransAmKid

I meant solely from the stand point of the HP being produced by the Trans Am 10 years earlier. I didn't clarify on my overall feelings for the car. So don't get me wrong, I grew up on Knight Rider, and I LOVE this bodystyle, and I own an 87 Formula, and wouldn't get rid of it for anything. :D

[3800fiero]

Why was I born in the age of imports? So many commercials only advertising fuel economy and no style. I wish I was born 10 years earlier. Note to everyone: the more you buy Toyota/Honda the more you are invading yourselves. Prepare for unarmed invasion. For those who don't believe this statement, just think about it!. Not convinced yet? WALMART, Toyota, honda, computer parts, pretty much anything now. Tomorrow wont be what we worked for.

[jmar1973]

Send me back there...please!

[mrdeedz1]

I miss the '80s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[3800fiero]

If this were the 80's and I saw this commercial on TV. I would be at the dealership RIGHT NOW!

[mercmarc]

The guy looked at the camera as if to say , yep this car gets the pussy.

[300spartan16]

PAWNTEEAC! FTW!

[Peccath]

Billy Jean meets Knight Rider meets Miami Vice? :D

[RedStaryPuu]

one of the best 80s car commercials i think

[TheHockeyredwings23]

what is the name of that amazing song?!?!?

[mikecomputerkid]

@TheHockeyredwings23 custom from gm's ad agency

[NeemaHmzd]

why is the world so crappy now? it used to be so goood!

[peter455sd]

@NeemaHmzd -Good question,the 21st century sucks !

[wickedstick3]

[thomas070784]

[koioo2]

[11bikerboy11]

@koioo2 blame the Japanese market thats too bad loved Pontiac now its gone

[koioo2]

@11bikerboy11 i don t know if that the case it is between 1982 and 1992 appeal of fbody was sooo good.manny american car has where way befor europeans.

maby bit together but just japanse market only can t destroy pontiac i love pontiac to

[StoneCold75]

Well if that isnt a snapshot of the mid 1980s in America..nothin is. Great commercial man

[ad356]

i've got the cousin to the firebird. 1989 camaro RS 350 swap. love the car loads of fun to drive

[Death666wish]

my 91 isn't in such good shape...

[BlackDalhia7]

Yeah everybody wanted this car in high school...

[mazilla122]

@BlackDalhia7 Stil do ^_^

[BeeABaw]

@BlackDalhia7 i wish that was still true today. my friends had a 86 Trans Am while we were in high school and while i was drooling over it he just kept calling it a POS and wanted a stupid Honda Civic. i was probably the only kid in my high school that cared about Pontiac's. No one could touch my 04 Grand Prix GTP.

[stevencokerb]

This car was the shite back....

[jjojo2004]

Sooooo, 80's! But I love it!

[girlishfun]

my 85 HO looks like new. love to drive it!

[ThrilloVanHouten]

Man...I was born in the wrong decade.

[likemenooneis]

damn so was i

[ThrilloVanHouten]

Buy one of these Firebirds and you too can pretend to be in the '80s, just like I do :)

[likemenooneis]

well i have a 79 camaro Z28 but yeah i will buy one n listen to 80s hair metal : ) ah yea brah!

[TransAMGTA1988]

Hahaha me too!

[charlie479]

I wish they'd make a full version of this song.

I also wish I lived in whatever world this is set in. Neon, sewer gas, bad ass cars and chicks climbing out of the shower.

Solid gold.

[mikecomputerkid]

@charlie479 thats the 80's for ya

[jmar1973]

@charlie479 Amen,Brother....

When you find that world,let me know!

[Wilby1977]

@charlie479 Go to North Bergan New Jersey.

[beefjerky444]

@charlie479 It's like Spyker, After a few years maybe Pontiac will return, because lots of people like Pontiac cars. Opel/ Vauxhall fused with Buick. If Pontiac would be fused with a Japanese or European Concern, that would be cool and funny to see. I hope the first "New Pontiac" model will be a Trans Am, with a small number of KITT Limited Editions, haha.

[laurence265]

@charlie479 I think the ninja turtles lived there

[TRaddcliff]

@charlie479 we missed you it the 80s. what a great time!

[RossVegas08]

Where is that minute long version of this ad?! The guy who posted it took it down last year. Anyone else got it?

[008hayabusa]

I have an 86 trans am, needs rebuilding, makes me want to start the project.

[kylemlm]

I loved this ad! Why did GM quit making such cool TV ads in the 80s? Thanks for video!

[mokahquincy71]

Bring Back Trans-AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[viperbeasty]

they were suppose to be bringing it back in 2012, I believe as a convertible option also, till GM took a dump and dropped the whole Pontiac line, At least they're gonna keep the Escalades.... DUH

[debrajl529]

wow... so 80's...

[gearheadAbe]

Next time i drive my trans am I will thing of this commercial and it will make me feel good.

[jnoble12]

Cool car = Sex.

They weren't that subtle with this one :-)

[DashDarrenger]

lol

[solord18]

good times!

[OGNightElfMohawk]

Haha, YES! The 80's had it right... The look the guy gives the camera, that's the look I have everytime a hot babe gets in my Trans Am!

[Tuneman1984]

That millisecond is seriously what makes this whole ad....it's so brilliant

[marshalllucky]

@OGNightElfMohawk was that a dream you had once, hot babes dont get into trans ams these days ;-)

[3800fiero]

@marshalllucky Why's that?

[marshalllucky]

@3800fiero probably because its not 1977 anymore and they just aren`t cool ;-)

[conman5304]

@OGNightElfMohawk The "I'm definitely getting laid" look? Pretty awesome haha.

[stormey88]

the sound is good

[Dirty1200]

That's like my life right there !

[knightwolf200612]

I know what vid you mean, but unfortunately I couldn't download and save it before the owner removed it.

I had it with my favourites so I had sent the owner a private message if he coult put it back online, but he replied something about copyright problems or so and didn't want to upload it again :(

Otherwise I'd hosted that vid for myself ofcourse ;-)

[ktuga11]

can someone share this video to download? i wanted to get it in a good quality.

[leftcoast4ever]

Oh hell! They don't even make that make anymore. Why would GM care?! WE NEED the long vid back. It was on my faves too! I NEED IT! Let's take turns putting it up so no one can be held responsible.

[3800fiero]

@knightwolf200612 can he send it to us?

[knightwolf200612]

@3800fiero Nope sorry, he didn't want to put it online or send it to me... (the bastard :P)

[afparks]

i dont know, i have been looking for that one also but cant find it anymore.

[leftcoast4ever]

Anyone know what happened to the full length minute long version of this ad that used to be up on YouTube? This is good, but that was great.
