Has everyone forgotten!?!?!?

**clg82** · 05-09-2007, 01:37 PM

I know that almost everyone on here including myself are ls1 or trans am enthusiasts!!!!! But what about the public's eye!!! When I sit home watching car shows and documentry's on cars. I can never seem to find anyone of them talking about Trans Am's!!! I know that when i'm cruisin' in my Trans am, that i am always, always turning heads!!! Does anyone know of any dvd's that i can purchase talking about these great machines? And any other comments about this subject would help!!! Thanks, Clg82............

no one has to talk anything about our cars. I think the word "LS1" speaks for itself.

I am an German car enthusiast as well as a lover of American muscle. I post a lot on Audiworld.com forums and when I told them all that my A4 was going to be my winter beater because I finally bought one of my dream cars for summer crusin' I nearly got flamed off the face of the planet, lol. A lot of people, especially people outside the U.S have no love for our type of cars. I hear complaints about build quailty, complaints about how the interior is cheap and ugly, complaints about the handling. But in the end it's hard to beat the $$$/fun ratio of an F-body.

As far as a good documentary about Trans Am, I can't say I know of any

kinda like the punk in the M3 i wasted the other day. He thought he was hot shit, with his girl in the car and started picking on me. So once we cleared out of traffic i let him have it. Although he didnt seem to bother me anymore after that, and just drew back into traffic.

and you never see them in games either. I get mad every time I buy one claiming to have 'muscle cars' and then never have one.

+1,000 for that, it pisses me off too

**third_shift|studios** · 05-09-2007, 05:27 PM

understated elegance, brothers.

**sharptransam** · 05-09-2007, 05:27 PM

man, I was so mad when the new need for speed carbon came out claiming classic and new muscle, then it has some monarco (I think that's right). I damn sure never bought one in the game. but there were neither a classic like a '76, or a last model. I could have definitely seen a 02 collectors addition in that game competing with the concept challenger or that 02 Z06 Vette! but NEVER is the T/A represented in a game...because it blows all the cars away in the price range.

Yep exactly. All they ever have is the camaro if anything. Not saying they are bad cars or anything but I'd just like to play the game with MY car. I guess I'll just have to wait and hope they put one in forza 2.

Every list I've seen for Forza 2 has the SS camaro, but no Trans Am

why am I not surprised

**JHayesLS1** · 05-10-2007, 05:52 AM

Yeah Forza 2 has the 02 SS....I was dissapointed too but at least we have a F-body to work with.

**third_shift|studios** · 05-10-2007, 06:32 AM

Grand Turismo 4 has LS1 Trans am and SS

**9T8W66** · 05-10-2007, 07:35 AM

There was a Firebird video (VHS) available through High Performance Pontiac Magazine a few years ago. And the American Musclecar series on Speed has done a Trans Am show, My Classic car has done a show from the T/A Nat's in the past also. Obviously we would all like there to be a little more emphassis towards Pontiacs and Firebirds in general. But being a loyal Pontiac Firebird Enthusiast I'm used to being short changed.

**JHayesLS1** · 05-10-2007, 08:13 AM

Im going to make a video about the Trans ams right now at work!

Thats the best races right there. I got a couple #'s and a ton of stares from girls whose Boyfriends got eaten alive by me lol.

**JHayesLS1** · 05-10-2007, 08:40 AM

Screw it im not doing it lol, i suck at it.

**TROYWS6X** · 05-10-2007, 09:05 AM

Maybe if the TA wins "Bullrun" it will help bring the car back into the public eye a little.

**2000T/A Guru** · 05-10-2007, 09:30 AM

I get kids all the time with cars that arent even worth racing thinking they can take me. Im like why do you want to race me, they all say cause the T/A is overrated, then i rape them and say still think so. None of them belive my car is near stock when i beat them hard. I beat some kid in a supra by 3 cars he said nice supercharger he claimed he heard a whine. I have jsut headers and exhaust maybe my car is breaking if people are hearing whines lol.

I even had this kid with a evo telling me how he can smoke me i took him by 1 to 2 car lengths, funny thing is he kept telling me that his little 2.4liter turbo could take me i was like your car has a 2.0 liter. So he popped the hood i was right lol he doesnt even know his engine.
