I graduated high school in 1979, one of my buddies got either a brand new 1978 or 1979 TA for graduation. He took me for a ride in that thing and it was by far the most powerful car I've ever ridden in in my life. I had a Mustang GT with a 302 HO with headers and some other mods and it was very fast for a 302, but it didn't have nothing for that TA. I'd love to know what motor was in that thing.
go and drive a honda s2000 with a 2 liter 4 banger that somehow manages to squeeze out a peak hp of 240 and then go and drive a 5.7 liter pontiac T/A for example, from the 1980s with an advertised 220 hp, and FEEL what the difference is ! some numbers are only relevant on the papers that the are written on folks! HP may sell a car, but TORQUE and how easy it comes wins the race! (provided a suitable driver of course) :D
what a great machine, powerful and striking looks, simply an icon like not too many cars can claim! ..and for those who bitch about HP numbers only coming from big engines need to take a class on physics and learn a thing or two about torque and how it is delivered, and power curves on cars for that matter!
@demoskunk ,dude the car wasnt about power . It was about the torque and how much fun you had with it . This car was meant for having fun , and was a pussy magnet back in the 70s and 80s
@snowman4839 = H.O. means High Output. It's still 455 cubic inchs but the H.O. motor had a bigger cam, aluminum intake, and a bigger carb, among other little odd ball nic nac shit Pontiac through in there to try to make that boat anchor go faster.
too bad your car will never be worth what a new aveo is worth. and my cbr would kill anything you could ever bring to the table. my cutlass would mop your ass for sure. do you have an F1 procharger, NO SIR YOU DONT

@bubbajimmy8 I seriously have had 6 of them over the years the first one was a 1978 ws6 4 speed,t/a 6.6 with 3.42 gears and to this day after having owned all kinds of cars as i am a dealer it was and still is among the two favrite cars i ve ever owned the other beeing my current toy a 2007 c6 z06 corvette.Long live the trans am hood scoop ,4 speed,and torquey pontiac 400 4 barrel.
@camirocz wow in your shit talking comment to me earlier you said it was six 1978s now it's the "first one was a 1978"... I smell a liar- dealer? i'm sure you have all of the old registrations or plates or something to show the proof mr. dealer- 6 trans ams. hah still cracks me up. you shoulda said 2 it would been believable.
@procharged70cutlass i just don't understand people anymore it's almost like he's just trying to piss people off- I just don't buy his stories- hes a loser for sure
@blp21381 ive found some people who arent happy with themselves use puffery to make themself more appealing to others who normally wouldnt take a second look at them because they are normal or just dont have the money to be in the hobby. so they turn to making up stories. on another note in two weeks im picking up my 454 for my F1 procharger that i am putting in my cutlass in the spring !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@camirocz i have a 40,000 supercharger race car dummy. so how is it that im broke? i have 2 crotchrockets and a new silverado. and i have masters degree in business. maybe you need to do a little research there mcdonalds boy
@camirocz wow dick move on your part. its actually a nice car. i bet your just saying its junk because he didnt do a 500ft long smoke show. its a trans am, not a 6 sec car.
@camirocz Nah, you don't owe me anything. But a little whineyassed bitch who slams someone else's car video OWES a video of his (maybe in your case HER) own in retort. If nothing, SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP.
@camirocz sorry i didn't get back to you sooner bitch, must have erased your last message in my spam folder- you're such a liar - 6 trans ams? let's see some proof of that liar- i would be shocked if you owned one TA, you're junk you little fag, like I said stop fibbing and go back to driving your civic- BITCH! 6 trans ams haha anyone who says they have owned 6 of one type of car of the same year is a LIAR!
@camirocz stop calling me kid- your stories don't add up, it looks like you are lying and you are some sort of arrogant jealous asshole, enough said- i don't care anymore so stop commenting me- i'll let all of these other wolves tear you apart anyway - you can tell by everyone elses comments that no one likes you- i'm finished with you, leave me alone.
Hey dude. Something tells me, you and your dad don't know cars. That is a 1976 t/a. I can garantee you that pontiac did not replace the original 455 HO engine with a 455 HO from 71'. Because of new laws, they whent to new engines each year, so it wasen't something they had lying around, and besides, it would have been eligal for pontiac to do so. Check your letters and numbers on that car. Ram air 3 + 4 in 70. 455 HO in 71 + 72. 455 + 455SD in 73 + 400 in 74. 400 A/T + 455HO M/T in 75 and 76.
Me and my dad dont know car yeaahh right...why dont you just shut up this car is a 1977, the 76 has a complete diferent front end. and originaly the trans am dont even have a 455 in 1977 they have 400...and the engine had been repalced in 1977 because the guy blew the engine... so sit donw and shut up...if you dont agree send me a message...and stop telling thing you dont know about...
@go4it90 Well I hope your mother didn't teach you how to talk to people, but either way I am not a homosexual sorry. But I will however give you $3,000 for your car? Well NM I just read it is your dads car... lol ole well, no wonder I just felt like I was dealing with a 12 year old.
its not the original engine....it has been chaged in 1977 because the first owner blowed the engine ....and he throwed in a 1971 455 H.O. on the GM Garanty
yes he did but i dont know it happened..... this vid was made 2 days after my dad got the car needed a lot of love....and a lot of tuning..... on the vid... there was several vacuum hose plugded at the wrong place... and the timing was at -8 instead of 12 so.....
No, it's different when you hold the brakes. Lots of cars even with relatively low power will smoke the tires if you brake torque them. REAL power comes in ripping the tires off like that without that weak brake torquing. Type in Riviera 455 burnout and look at the first video. Thats how it's done, not this lame no-talent brake torquing.
i agree though, my 94 Firebird and my friend's 93 Camaro will do a burnout right, it's a great pride thing over all the ricers in town who have to feather the breaks to do it
Hell yes, I've been in a '94 Z28 AUTO that went sideways going into second just by stomping the gas pedal (no rain or anything else, just good ol' dry pavement - not even that parking lot pavement).
Ha ha, yeah ricers suck! They just sit there and bounce off the rev limiter holding the brakes. Love those nice dark dual black marks something like a Z28 will leave too!
my dad bought the car this way...but i think you can find'em on eBay or something like that...i live in quebec and my uncle searched like for 3 months only for one wheel
I graduated high school in 1979, one of my buddies got either a brand new 1978 or 1979 TA for graduation. He took me for a ride in that thing and it was by far the most powerful car I've ever ridden in in my life. I had a Mustang GT with a 302 HO with headers and some other mods and it was very fast for a 302, but it didn't have nothing for that TA. I'd love to know what motor was in that thing.
