There's some pretty nice on-road bodies out there. Makes me want to build a couple of on-road cars just to use the bodies.
 
It's Trigger!!! This body is motivation to give on road a try
 
Hard to believe, but THAT lid just might be what it takes to replace my Saleen S7R.
I've already got those wheels on it. Just have to do them in gold.

The wheels are close, Rolex, but no Cigar. They're neither the stock Pontiac "Honeycomb" wheels from Trigger or the gold BBS Lace from the Son of Trigger. Sorry to shatter you dream.
 
I have drifting tires that will fit but I'll only use them to fish tail through turns. :p:
If ya ain't fish tailin, ya ain't really drivin. :trout:
 
Drifting a trans am? Really? :nono:

What's wrong with that? Have you seen the movie, Bandit was all over the place in that thing. Might have had something to do with the epic stache obscuring his vision though :hehe:



Since it's kinda on topic, I want a Year One Bandit. Modern suspension, brakes, and amenities, with engine options up to 700+ HP. Yeah baby!

U would sure need an upgraded motor because although the car is sweeeeeeetttt, it was a guttless wonder. Probably like 185hp if that. BOAT ANCHOR!!!!!!!!

are you referring to the 6.6 liter that was in the T/A?


"The base model Firebird came equipped with the OHC inline-6 and a single-barrel carburetor. The next model, the Sprint, had a four-barrel carburetor, developing 215 hp (160 kW). Most buyers opted for one of the V8 engines: the 326 CID (5.3 L) with a two-barrel carburetor producing 250 hp (186 kW); the "H.O." (High Output) engine of the same displacement, but with a four-barrel carburetor and producing 285 hp (213 kW); or the 400 CID (6.6 L) from the GTO with 325 hp"
