As a kid I watched Smoky and the Bandit way too many times. It's cool in a weird sorta way, but not $20k+ cool.

My best friend had the 1977 Bandit T/A back in 1982.
We spent many hours in that car pretending to be cool. Well, he was because he sort of looked like Burt Reynolds and was popular. I was a dorky 9th grader. ![]() It wasn't that fast but we had loads of fun.

Yep...by the time the '79 Trans Am came along...the performance was gone. It was a dark period...

Fascinating car. One showed up at our autocrosses every month and did pretty well. Lot's of smoke and noise. If I had one I'd keep a Waylon Jennings tape in the cassette deck and find a way to make it smell like bourbon and seegars. Prolly couldn't afford the gas to actually drive it.

My friend drove his later model Trans Am on the Tail of the Dragon a few years ago with me and I was surprised at how well the car handled.

I assume that's a new camaro that's been modified. I think I like the looks better than when it's a camaro.
I'm sure it far, far outperforms one of the originals, but it's not nearly as attractive. ![]()
