From a Jalopnik “most overrated performance car” thread:

I agree. They look fantastic and thanks to Smokey and the Bandit I developed a crush for Trans Ams. I had a specially ordered ‘82 with the cross-fire infected engine, WS6, blah blah blah. It was a slow, unreliable POS but looked like a million bucks. Then I traded it in on an ‘85 with the TPI engine and that was a whole other animal. Good car, not a great car, but lots of fun back in the day and quick enough for 1985. Around that time I drove my friend’s ‘79 TA and that thing was a fossil compared to my ‘85, which literally did everything better. Even though it was only 6 years old and had around 50K miles, it rattled like it had been driven in the Dakar rally and the suspension and brakes felt like they belonged on a Caprice. Looked great though.
