WAS THE TRANS AM IN SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT STOCK INSTALL
When they made Smokey & The Bandit II they had to install a NOS kit to make the tires squeal in the back. Sort of ridiculous when you take into consideration that a base Chevy Cobalt could run circles around a stock 1980 Turbo T/A.
Some magazine called them "Hot Buys" not too long ago which pumped up their price. Knoxzilla wrote As much as I love Smokey & The Bandit, this was the worst model year ever for Trans Am's when it came to performance. "excuse me sir, your ass is on fire, bet you'll be glad to get back to Canada and stick it in the snow" Haha thumbnail 5 is taken from when the bandit says one if his funniest lines In the 2nd thumbnail, it looks to have spare tire and wheel put on in this scene. How did it pull the elephant and baby at the end of the movie? Most of these cars now have 400 engines that the dealers switched when the original Turbo 4.9 didn't even last 2-3 years.
Not to mention that the Turbo is notoriously fragile. The car could barely chirp them with the stock engine.
In the second pic, the T/A has a white stripe tire on the front right with a gold painted rim instead of the turbine style! HMMMM.Īs much as I love Smokey & The Bandit, this was the worst model year ever for Trans Am's when it came to performance. See the 3 comments from this page that were archived AuthorĪs many times as I have watched this movie, i never noticed this until Weasel1984 posted his pics.
