Why, why, why do people like these underpowered late model T/A's. Get hold of a pre 1974 model, you get 3 times more power, a much better looking car - with metal bumpers, and 10 times more fun. This '77 -78 would be hard pushed to make 200 hp. A basic 1970 - 73 V8 will give you 300+, no road tax and mega cheap insurance in the U.K. Sorry just hate the late '70 Firebirds - without a ton of cash they are complete pants.
I have a 79 Trans am with a stroked 403 made 570 hp on motor and 540 torque. I have a few vids.. ran at track with a T56 and 3.42 gears on street tires and ran a 8.2 with a 2.02 60 foot. I currently have a 2 .1/4” exhaust now, about to put the same exhaust you have just waiting on mufflers.
those are not open pipes and are prolly not glasspacks either.My guess is the flowmaster crossflow muffler in the stock location or regular thrush type turbo mufflers.
simply orgasmic sound :P got a 2000 bird with the v6 but trying to hunt down a 77 not the easiest thing in sweden hehe "well if you whanna find one that actually works that is"
No microphone can honestly do justice to what these V8 beasts really sound like, but its still nice to have youtube, and a little bit of imagination. Boss ride :).
i have a question im 16 years old and im a girl and i like muscle cars for my first car i want a trans am or firebird im i wierd for that? please respond
I have a question, are the Mains on the block webbed? Thats what I was told and it was suggested to swap a olds 350 block in place of the 403. I personally love the Feel of the 403's Power.
I also like 4 cylinders, they are just different ( but nothing can replace the sound of a big V8 )
My dad also has a Renault 5 alpine turbo and was thinking of buying a R5 turbo (both are 4 cylinder turbo) before buying the Trans Am but i'm happy now to have such a car sleeping in my garage :)
I saw what you said in the description but then I noticed the date you posted this videos was almost 2 years ago. I figured you had to go to the racetrack by now and maybe you just forgot to post the times. I am at the4 racetrack two times a week at least, there's no way I could go that long without going.. : )
Got to love how it starts!!! Mine does that at school everyday. The first day I drove my ta, it always does that after sitting for a few hours. Everybody started to laugh, and then I blew everybodys eardrums with the uncorcked headers!!! Got to love it!!!!!!
Oh...my god! That thing sounds beautiful! My old man had the 403 ci in his old school Pontiac station wagon...wish he would ve kept it now!..lol. You have that thing in France?? Thats awesome...go smoke those little Fiats and Citroens...HA HA HA.
flash automotive on usa ebay can sort you out a fuel injection set up. looking at one for my 462 pontiac. its auto mapping so can get 20mpg+ city driving
Sounds great! Must be a really rare car in Europe! They are hard enough to find in good condition in the USA anymore. Those wheels that are on it in the video are beautiful, do you know what they are called?
sounds like straight pipe. its cool, but i prefer some kind of exhaust system. lol that fucker almost blew out my speakers. if you like it loud, you got it. 5 stars.
nice
