Hi Smitty I love your car! I had 3 beat up 76 TAs, a 400 Auto, another 400 Auto, and a 455 4-spd. Loved em even though they were all basically rotted out. You have a pristine example. I love those Honeycombs!
@3991c Hi. Burt Reynolds did have a 455 engine under the hood of his Trans-Am. The 400 engine was replaced to get more torque and horsepower. I did it with mine, a real 1977 Trans-Am Special Edition. Anyway the Trans-Am is the best car of the universe for me (including the Gran Torino Sport from 1972 & 1975 and the 1968-69 Dodge Charger...)
wow, Í´m not american, but I really like this car! I don´t understand how some americans say bad things about the trans am, it´s a car of a age, the age of muscle cars.

FantasticGivingCowssomehead, you are right, Honda cars are Japanese cars. They are also superior to any amerikan car. A turd is equal to an amerikan car, again you are correct. Yes, you dont have to be ashamed to ask me questions about cars. Amerikan cars are very overweight, much like the amerikans that drive them. They are also under powered, like the amerikan people against their own government. A 7.5 liter engine should be producing at least 700 horsepower in stock form, not a measily 245.
You realize that back in the mid 70's a lot of cars were raped by emission laws, even the little Japanese sport cars like the Datsun 240 and 280z. And how is this car overweight? It has a curb weight of only about 3300lbs
an s2000 weighs about 2800lbs. Now, allow me to tear down your "hp per liter" wall. The s2000 has a special cam allowing it to run a compression ratio of about 12.5:1 . Slap an L88 or LS1 cam on a 455 and add a secondary carburetor and the horsepower rating should be 800+hp
@Georgenfla Howdy little Lord from the highlands of nowhere! You are really ridiculous and seems to be frustrated. The japanese cars are cars made with a technology that was stolen by Japaneses having sent workers in Europe to spy the manufacturers. Your V-Tec is a poor copy of the Vario-Cam from Porsche! Another great example, the japanese hips of junk must have one or two turbo to get many horsepower and even they get 1200 HP, they cannot win against the same cars with 500 HP.
@Georgenfla Moreover any American or Canadian citizen can see that the 1970-73 Toyota Celica is a poor copy of the 1968-69 &1970-71 Torinos like the MR pattern comes from Ferrari and the new MR2 from the Porsche Boxter. Today all american road machines can be equipped with new parts that improve their HP, torque and saves more gas than before. DO NOT FORGET the car used for MAD MAX is a FORD with an AMERICAN V8!!! The Falcon was assembled with parts of the 1970-71 Torino and 1970-73 Mach 1!!!
@Georgenfla And without the American & Canadian citizens, you, little "sheepboy" from New Zealand would not exist because both nations above fighted fro your liberty in 1941-45 VS the "bowls of rice", YOUR japanese friends. And now in the end, REMEMBER the unfit guys were shipped in 1776, BACK to Great Britain, this country with a queen who is unfit to run his country so your country!!! By the way I take the opportunity to say: "HI" to all my friends from Texas!!!
@Georgenfla I looked at your profile: Man you are as stupid as a redneck singing he loves his cow. You do not like american people but you seem to be like a Kuklux klan member. You do not like american music?!? It exists many other styles of music that are not rap, disco or country music. American Rock'n Roll is the best!!! You do not like country music??? Listen Terry Clarck, Martina Mc Bride, Carrie Underwood and Sara Evans! Such a so beautiful music does not exist in your little island!!!
Why don't you go ahead and post a video of your beloved Yugo that you love so much....or let's hook a 20 ft. towstrap to whatever little euro-car that you have to this T/A back to back so this T/A can drag your little car down the highway while you call for your mommy.
Nealneedledick, your amerikan muscle-cars, (LOL) are more popular than ever? You are kidding, right? So, how is your pontiac company going? Ha ha ha, and GM? Too funny you little bankrupt amerikan sissy!
@Georgenfla your yugo may be popular in your little world but over here in north ameriCa your yugo is as popular as a veggiemite sandwich. do you have t/a's , shelby cobras,hemi cuda's over there maybe a few. all the cars you talk about we have here and muscle cars are still more popular. you are jealousof our car culture hereyou can buy a under 13 sec.1/4 car for $30.000 can u buy a euro car that does that? Everything you say about yourself is probably a lie.you hairy primate yuckland sissy
Nielnealsin, there is no muscle in your "Amerikan Muscle Cars"! They were overweight and under powered, power to weight ratio speaking. You stupid ass! On top of that, they had shitty brakes, didn't handle either, and the most poorly designed cars in the world. The only people that appreciate them are stupid assholes like yourself that know nothing about cars. So before you go posting bullshit, learn about cars, and stop reading your "Hot Rod" magazines! I hope you've finally learned something.
Muscle cars nowadays are handling and performing better than ever. Ha and if they are the most poorly designed cars in the world then how about justifying why the hell they are more popular now than ever before?? You can talk shit but can you back it up? What are you a fan of, fricken hondas and toyotas. wtf man? Just go associate with your type unfortunately there are plenty of them who can't appreciate style when they see it! Now I hope YOU have finally learned something (but I doubt it)!
First off Honda isn't American you retard. Second of all Civics look like shit. The trans am has far better lines and curves than most cars in existence. Ironically "Poorly designed cars" according to you, last forever. No matter how beaten down they are. Over weight and underpowered? 3,500 is a respectable weight for a car. And Underpowered? a 7.5L 455cu. in. v8 that makes 345hp that has a compression ratio of 11.8:1? How the hell is that underpowered? Quit pulling facts out of your ass.
@Georgenfla You don't know Shit you Arrogant New Zealand sheep fucker!
MANY American Muscle Cars from the late 60's had near or over 400HP....while most didn't handle well they were a blast to drive at the dragstrip. Although the 70's GM "F" bodies like the Firebird/Camaro handled very well for the time.
Graffiti, I wouldn't call a Honda Civic and amerikan beauty, but Civics look a lot more high tech than the old piece of shit in this video. Its no wonder that GM is bankrupt.
what the hell man if u cant appreciate american muscle then dont say anything at all, for your information cars like this "piece of shit" are worth a hell of a lot more and bring a lot more attention than any of the cars of today. so if u dont know what ur talkin about shut the fu*k up and stay the hell out of the conversation.

Wow, that car sure is ugly and very heavy...like a boat anchor! If I owned that junk, I would run it into the water and make a reef out of it, where it will be appreciated. What a load of crap that car is!
blimey, what a beauty. what a beauty, those were days when american cars were way ahead of anything else in the world, no, even lightyears ahead by design, technology, comfort.
