Re: Which Trans Am is the best
I like all the birds but my fav has to be first the 3rd gen and second the 4th gen. I grew up with knight rider and when I saw the car it was over. Later saw smokey and the bandit and my horizon was broadened. But my first love was and will always be the 3rd gen.

Re: Which Trans Am is the best
now that im lookin at it im starting to like the 3rd gen TA'si mean even tho they came with a 305 or 350 i would just rip it out and find myself a 400, 421, 428, or a 455 "thats if they fit".it would be a good car maybe a lil nose heavy. i classify them as good beater cars with performance.

Re: Which Trans Am is the best
65, Indian Adventures makes a nice set of headers to put the Pontiac in the 3rd gen body. I believe they have the motor mounts as well. There are a couple of them running around the Richmond area, and they run 12s on street tires and 93 octane with no adders. The stock little rear won't last long, though. Upgrade to a 9" or a 12-bolt...

My "Smokey and the Bandit" T/A would have to be my favorite.

Re: Which Trans Am is the best
i have an 84 trans am with the L69 and cowl hood, so i have to say third generation is my favorite. But i think the second generations were the best, if i could have one of them i would be really happy.

Re: Which Trans Am is the best
My dad has a '79 bandit edition Trans Am,which I like, but in my opinion it nor anything else compares to my '97 Trans Am WS6.

Re: Which Trans Am is the best
Hmm...
The first generation looked a bit too tarted up compared to the Camaros. So maybe not. The second generation eventually became the Bandit car. But is that enough reason to choose them? The third generation has the Firebird I'd be most likely to own, being one with the Iron Duke 2.5 L four (goes like a SNAIL but at least I could afford the gas...) but the Trans-Ams were unimpressive, at least at the beginning. Fourth generation Trans-Ams were... how can I put this? Bloody Ugly. They ended as they began, with Camaros looking simpler and better. So I guess I'll go with the second generation. |

Re: Which Trans Am is the best
2nd Gens are the best looking IMO but when it comes to performance I think the 4th Gen's are all around better performer's than any of the other Models but they have always been bad ass.
