2011 Trans am

[DrVolkl]

My brown 79 had an Olds 403 and racked up 175k HARD miles before I spun a rod bearing racing a buddy's Buick Grand National.

Lol...Jesus...it's 1986 all over again. I had an '85 Mustang Gt (In 1992)...that's as close as I got to that generation of american muscle...but I was born in the mid 70's, so I missed the cool cars.

The Grand National is a beast...lol. 1987 GNX is a hell of a car. 0-60 in 4.7 sec bone stock No stock Olds 403 is gonna beat that! :wink:

It doesn't help that they put his image in the pic. :tongue:


I hope you guys aren't buying this. GM has no plans for a new Firebird/Trans Am and even if they did they'd probably have a better "concept picture" than a sad C6 Corvette/Camaro Concept amalgamation that looks like it was thrown together in four minutes by an eight year old.

This pic framed is available to the first 15,000 buyers!!!!!!

Agreed...it was a GN not a GNX...but I still had my hands full trying(and "blew" the engine).

For less than $5000.00 you can shave a full second off that time for the GNX.... :wink:

Yes, they're cool cars indeed. A turbo's potential can never be underestimated...:wink:

I'd definitely have one in my collection if I had that kind of space. :smile:

Fastest mass-produced car in the world in 1987. Even faster than the Vette. (Rumor has it that's why it was killed)

even though i share his last name, a pic of naked burt is just wrong.....but yet......i can't avert my eyes.........................nah yes i can:redface:

I actually like the camaro (in the new transformers movie)concept though. 10-4 big buddy, convoy!:biggrin:

It's too bad GM fell to pieces 15 years ago. There are way too many good options in the $25k price range. The Camaro/TA will be a total flop. Too little too late GM.


Here's a couple of my old ones.

And the Screaming Chicken is a timeless classic!!

Damn right! My 1979 Trans-Am kicked some serious SCCA Solo 1 and GT1 ass back in its day. It was modded with all the Herb Adams suspension goodies and Nunzi Romano in Brooklyn did the engine work. I still miss that car. It came with the WS-6 package, Pontiac 400ci motor and Borg warner Super T-10 4 speed tranny.

Yuck.

Does no one in Detroit have an original thought in their pointy little heads any more?

Another example of why GM stock is down 50% for the year. My bet is they'll be out of business in 5 years.

I bet you are wrong. GM and companies dependent of GM or part of GM are 1% of our National Economy. Thats right - National economy. The Govt. will never let that happen. Plus - they are making better products lately. The new cobalt is better. The new Impala is a step up. The GM 900 series(suburbans, Tahoe, 1/2 trucks) are vastly superior. Sure they aren't at Honda quailty but they are turning it around. We were shopping of a SUV and bought a Denali XL over a the new Sequoia. The last time I bought a GM product was 1981. That should tell you something.

As long as we are showing our old ones :biggrin: :

Surprising how many have gone from f-bod to NSX!
