Agreed! I'd love to race in a modern Trans-Am series! Its fun to drive these old cars but it would be amazing to bring Trans-Am (and IMSA GTO for that matter) back!

@stoo1974 LOL those were as much "cars" as a NASCAR stockcar are.

[stoo1974]

ahh back when cars were cars. don't suppose anyone has any videos of pontiac silverbirds circa 1978-1979. or any race prepared trans-ams?

Is that a Nissan 300ZX that Paul Newman is driving?

Its weak.... No Manufacturer support, which was at its peak during the 80's and 90's, now its joke. Just like most of the racing now.

You're wish is granted. check out the Trans-am Muscle Milk seris.
