    Older cars feel fast due to the lack of refinement found in modern cars. I find it a much more satisfying experience driving cars like this TA then newer vehicles. They got soul.
  • @CavanalK5
    There’s a 40 year old out there somewhere that was made in this car. You know damn well a car like that landed some lovin’
  • It’s everything with these cars It’s the dashboard the view of the hood the interior was just a dream the Sound the smell I miss this era
  • Whoever built that car did an awesome job. Engine install looks like it could have been done by the factory. Sounds incredible and looks like it drives great.
  • @yokafliction
    "It feels fast and its an entertaining experience." Pretty much described my thoughts about muscle cars. I call it theater. The v8 sound, the tires squeeling, the car squating. Love em or hate them they will get you in touch with your inner 8 year old.
  • @Roy_xp
    as a european I really dont see american V8s around, and this is just gorgeous, that sound, oh my god
  • @TraversyMedia
    Sweet! That thing is in great shape for being the same age as me. Sounds amazing too.
  • I think you’ve hit the nail on the head, fun driving is about engagement and whilst this beast really is fast you don’t need to thrash it to feel great and bask in the aural delight
  • “Oh please don’t let me die in this car” proceeds to smash the peddle and slam through gears like a G😂😂 love this channel!
  • @Rudolphe_
    The steering input looks like more of a suggestion
  • My dad had a pearl white Trans Am with a 350 chev with 2nd stage can 8 into one pipe and 750 holey double pumper carb here in South Africa. Wasn't a lot of them here. Loved that car. Nice seeing this car. Brings back plenty memories
  • @tedjohnson64
    Best sounding car I’ve ever heard on your channel! Would love to see more of this type of content.
  • @expsterm1
    Nothing like the sound of the American muscle car, sweet
  • @LEORedSun
    This was "The dream car" when I was a kid. This is what Pontiac need to bring back!
  • @DTM-ch7jy
    I had a 78 Trans-Am in an automatic with a Pontiac 400. You describe the car so well and very accurately. I installed a full Rancho Suspension and it still handled OK. The wheel and tire package was the weakness; too much sidewall. My 2016 Chevy Impala with its 305 HP 4 cam V6 and 18 inch wheels will out accelerate and handle my old Trans-am, even with the Rancho Suspension. But the interior shape of that era Trans-Am lends itself very well to great car stereo sound. I miss that car. Thanks for posting.

    My dad used to have a firebird T/A and loveddddd it. Quite the lady magnet cause my mom always talks about the car but hates my dad 😂😂
  • @tdalb8985
    As someone who remembers back then, those cars were handlers. I was in college in 86 and a girl I knew had a 74 TA, and that car was great to drive. The driver involvement is what's missing in most modern cars. Which is why so many of us love old cars. The Trans Am was the last Musclecar Standing.
  • In my youth, I had the pleasure of going on road trips in a 1964 Pontiac Tempest with a very stout 326 and A 4 speed manual, a 1969 GTO convertible, a 1970 Olds Cutlass Vista Cruiser, a 1971 Olds Cutlass convertible, a 1972 Olds Cutlass “S” (mine) and a 1972 Datsun 240z. My friend’s mom had a white 1970 Mustang Sports Roof with a very spunky 302. That was such an iconic body style with perhaps the best proportions of all the Mustangs. None of them were fast by today’s standards, but they all had such great character. They remain imprinted on my mind to this day.
