those trans am's were made for one reason, and one reason only...to burn out. not too fast, but damn they can smoke the tires.</P>

My mom had a 79 bandit addition (BEFORE IT DAMN NEARED KILLED HER) with a fully built 403 OLDS and after the old man got through with it it could take anything it came across!Which is why my mother totaled it.5 miles an hour faster the medics said and the hood would have came through and through the steering wheel and decapitated her.The steering wheel saved her luckily.</P>


I remember it being stock though and it sucked ***!ASfterwards though it was a screamer!Are you sure its a 400?THe 79's were 403's to my understanding but again im not a G.M guy.</P>

If the TA wasn't such a boat (or if he's got traction upgrades...) he'd kill you (provided the cats are gone).
