Well I own a 1979 Pontiac Trans-Am Gold Edition (it originaly looked like the bandit trans-am) But I had it painted black. The engine is a 461c.i. Pontiac with big valve ram air 4 heads. Forged crank, rods, pistons. Dougs headers. 800 cfm holly doublepumper. Turbo 400 Transmission. 2.5 inch daul exhaust with flowmasters. 3.73 rear gears. Performer rpm intake manifold. Msd ignition/distributer. American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels polished aluminum. The car is pure American power. Most powerful car I have ever drove. I love it!:D:first_place::D
 
Used to have an '84 Firebird, started it's life as a 2.8l V6, got a 350 Chev transplant with TH700R4, aluminum slot mags with 60 series. Car looked like crap, but it was fast. I miss that car, but I couldn't afford to keep fixing the motor, and I needed something reliable. I'll eventually get another one, when I have a garage to start building it in.

Now I have my '05 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, it satisfies my urges for now.
 
what's it running in the 1/8th. i'd ask 1/4 but we don't have a 1/4 track around here.
 
I used to drive a 54 ford f100 panel truck with a 351 windsor but totalled it, now I drive a pretty quick wrx

I had 1980 Camaro with a factory 4-bolt main 350 with a 750 Holley on it. I managed to get about 21 mpg as well s 4.5 sec 0-60. Lost t in a flood. And yes, I miss it except at insurance time.....

Why the vette? was it free or something? lol

less then 5000 original miles...and i got it for a steal of a price ;)

It sits under a cover 99% of the time... when it does get taken out.. once maybe every 2 months..it only gets about 10-15 miles put on it :hehe:


I'm a fan of all cars.. fords are just my favorite.

Fuel Crazy, Looks like we have two hobbies in common. I love my trans-am. I really love the power pontiacs can make and the torque! Plus how many people do you know with a Pontiac ;) The Trans-Am just handels great with 2.5" swaybars and Its just an overall cool car the only thing I dislike is the unibody but some subframe connectors work good for a 4000 lb+ car
