they worked with what is available, but I think they stayed reasonably true to the original.

That is horrendous.  It looks like somebody from the Jersey Shore cast designed an aftermarket body kit for the Camaro while they were stoned.

Why didn't they use a Gen 6 Camaro?   The Gen 6 is much more TA looking without even doing anything to it.

The Year One Trans Ams that he endorsed a few years ago were great cars.

Pontiac made their own engine. It wasn't a Chevy engine in the TA/Firebirds.

Maybe not, but it doesn't seem that long since he did Earl, and he looks a lot older. Father time catches up to everyone, eventually.

I've seen one of those.  Completely retarded. 01 split between the front and rear doors.  If mopar makes it someone has painted it like the general lee.  I've personally seen a late model Charger, Challenger and a Dakota.  Also a jeep.  I'm sure there's a fucking Caravan out there somewhere.

In 1977 the 400 cubic inch T/A 6.6, (RPO code W72) was created to fulfill the vacuum of the lackluster 76 455 HO, with improved flow cyl "6X" casting heads borrowed from the 350 yielding higher compression, specific camshaft and 3.23 gearing it made 200 hp (150 kW). The base 400 engines in 1977-78 produced 180 hp. In 1978 a new dual muffler exhaust was added making 220 hp (160 kW), and provided the Trans AM and Formula Firebird with a breath of new life after some dismal performance years. The 4-speed manual transmission was also available behind the 400 T/A 6.6 and the 301 HO. The 400 T/A 6.6 did not live long however, emission standards and fuel economy restrictions for 1980 model year doomed the powerplant. The 301 Turbo replaced the 400 T/A 6.6 in 1980, disappointing potential customers who were just getting excited about performance returning to Pontiac. The 400 T/A 6.6 Trans AM was the last of the performance cars available with the manual transmission, also yet another disappointment to potential customers. All 400 engines for 1979 were W72 versions and were last produced in 1978, after which time the tooling was dismantled. Some engines in 1979 vehicles may have been cast as early as 1977. W72 versions had chrome valve covers, base 400 versions had painted covers.



The hood scoop decal distinguished which version of the engine was in the vehicle. The W72 cars had "T/A 6.6". The 185 hp (138 kW) 403 Oldsmobile powered cars as well as the base 400 cars had "6.6 LITRE" on the scoop. It has often been mistakenly thought that in 1977-79 ONLY the "T/A" prefix on the hoodscoop denoted that it was a Pontiac sourced engine, and those ending in Litre were non-Pontiac sourced Olds 403 were 6.6 litre decals. (Note: In 1980-81, this would change as the 5.0 (305 CID) Chevrolet produced engine was offered and had "5.0 LITRE" on the hood scoop). 1977 was the first year for the litre designation on the scoop, prior to that, it was shown in cubic inches.

Reminds me of the Back to the Future cast recently with that commercial they did. They looked like they were struggling to get through it.

That's gay, because if you want one that looks just like the original, why not get an original? That attraction of this one is that it's the brand new badass model, styled like the original. You kids don't get it.
