69 Pontiac ramair iv Trans Am vs.74 Pontiac super duty Tram

[bradjessica74]

None of these guys running this fast have orginal numbers matching drive trainings.  Maybe date coded correctly but most are not. Not many would know any different! But it is fun to watch and dream!

[TransamMs]

12.33?? with a 400no less! hehehe, yeah the guy can drive!

[Adams69Bird]

Awesome.

[ACEGAMER120]

Damn, that '74 never stood a chance lol

[mercmarc]

Ive read that pontiac engines dont respond to high lift/duration cams as well as chevys. Why is that?

[peak199]

@mercmarc Valvetrain. To much camlift in a stock pontiac valvetrain will cause ''coil bind''. You can solve the problem by changing the rocker arms and valve springs.

[0122max]

thats an amazing pass, is your engine completely stock, and tranny, if it is thats awsome, verry nice car as well, pure pontiac yeah!!!!!

[brunobel]

fully blueprinted and balanced stock engine.

[feelinlukypunk09]

Is that stock in the 69.

[mercmarc]

I could watch that 69 launch a 100 times and not get bored.

my cousin is fortunate enough to have found a 1967 Shelby GT500, and it's amazing, he's cleaned it up, rebuilt it and races it both in drags and autocross.

I own a 79 Trans Am, last of the 400s.

These are meant to be driven, these are meant to run. It's their meaning, and purpose. Not to be put on display or put into a trailer.

My cousin put 12,000 racing miles on his GT500 the past three years. As far as I'm concerned, someone can make a replica for the museums, let the originals run!

[TheWildtransam]

@MurPaDiLos hell yeah bro i hate it when you go to car shows and these pussys scared to run the car or get scared of some RAIN

[MRK4JC]

Hey brunobel, how's your GTO?

[brunobel]

Its in for heart transplant surgery.

[sonico3gt]

I think its great to see this machine doin what it was built to do. The track is where this T/A is meant to be. Love it.

[HUGAMEXICAN]

what gears are you running on the firebird? nice car...i got 2 white 69 birds one 4 speed, one automatic...just love them

[brunobel]

4.10 but we're taking some out for next season.

[TRASUPO]

Why would anyone keep a stock R,A 4 in original condition, if it was a collector car it would have no business being on the track.

[brunobel]

GM didn't design and engineer "show cars". I grew up racing these cars........guess I never grew up huh?

[Cash2112]

Was that a "real" RAIV car? (original or built to RAIV specs?) Most were RAIII's. . .

[doctorchalupa]

i think its a copy car. this guy would have to be out of his mind if that was a real trans am

[brunobel]

Yes, in fact its a real Trans Am. The engineers at GM would be so proud of me.

[brunobel]

It was born a RAiii but underwent extensive heart surgery later in life.

[paintballer223]

I love seeing old muscle cars do what they were meant to, but if thats a real sd and a real 68 t/a...they should be babied a little bit lol. dont wanna destroy either theyre rare. nice cars though! t/as rock i got one as my first car 79

[guitarjesus9]

its a 1969 trans am, there is no such thing as a 68 69 was the first year but agree with them being babied

[paintballer223]

i meant 69 it was just a typo lol.

[Lnx805]

Nice launch!
