personally i never saw a rivalry between the T/A and the Z28 though haha, i always thought the T/A and Z28 should be in cahoots together =P haha, in fact i always wanted to rebuild a 79' T/A with a manual 5-speed Tremec TKO and a Pontiac 455, 4-wheel disc Baer brakes, and have a friend rebuild a Z28 along side it to match it, same paint and matching color decals, theirs would be exactly the same but with a 427 instead of a 455 to match make
@Ratmouth66 I agree, I always considered them to be 'cousins' and the Mustang as the true rival. As a current owner of a '79 Z28 and former owner of an '80 T/A I felt the both handled pretty much the same. Minus the less oomph from the '80 T/A due to a stock 301 under the hood.
only thing about the 79 which i had and the 80 . i hated that stupid gas cap cover that ran along the back of the light assembly ...after a while it didnt want to stay closed.
I had a 1978 red Tran Am it had the gold eagle on the hood and two small ones on the side doors.Had air shock's pump it low, fast pump it high, save gas, Holly carb and a 350 in it. I bought it used. It was a drag car had nitrouse switches in it. No nitrouse hooked up when I bought but didn't need it. Srry to say blew it up doing 165 mph on interstate without the passing gear hooked up... Damn that was heart breaking...lol
anyone check out the new trans am? 2010 trans am? i was at the trans am nationals in dayton ohio a couple weeks back, they had a booth there with a new ta. its had all the gold trim and...oh yeah just guess what was painted on the hood...it was badass...i asked the guy at the booth how this was guna be produced since pontiac is gone and he jumped around the question....but hey look it up..its a reall beauty

Its no wonder why GM is going out of business, building junk like these cars! Overweight, underpowered, gas-hog, polution, machines. Oh and I almost forgot, just about any Japanese or Korean car will blow them away! Firebirds are for homosexuals!
fck u my 94 transam GT would blow any of your japanese sht away they sound and look like little toy cars watch smokey and the bandit any body ekse agree with me.................
lol i know saw this import all modded need for speed style,... lol i think i hav good chance at whipping him with my pontiac grand prix 06 gxp, with thrush cylinder an racing muff( increases acceleration performance) and of course my demon is armed with the 3800 series 3 engine , so definitely i could win but i was working so -.-
Must be jealous you're rice burner doesn't have the heritage or the horsepower of a Trans Am. I have a 2001 Honda Prelude and a Firebird Formula with the WS6 suspension package and you know what? The Firebird outperforms it by a wide margin and outhandles it as well. And it's 20 years old!. Your statement is based on pure ignorance of cars in general and jealousy.
We need to get you a picture of the Tag on my 99T/A it has the same tag .... IEATZ28 ... also i have 5 more ..lol a 68,79,85,96,02 -- just in case your wanting to do another video
