    One thing I'll never understand, when you have a car like this, IMHO the best looking T/A ever, and from what little I could hear one of the best sounding cars ever; why do people insist on playing canned metal headbanger music? Jesus, what a travesty. Sacrilege ain't in it...

      We added the music to help with the transitions between camera angles. Thanks for your input. We'll be sure to keep that in mind with our next video.

      I bought recently a 71 trans am, the thirst thing I did was trowing the radio away. Nothing better music than the sound of a 455ho

    The car's sound itself is the sweetest music you can buy for under a 100k dollars. Its makes its own music. Don't need a radio.

    Thanks for the ride-a-long. Well done. Great camera angles. Didn't see that flapper door open too much.
    Looked for the details on this car, but couldn't find it. Wish I had it. Hope you got what you needed.

      That would be an M20 or M21, an M22 would have whined in all 4 gears.

    I had a 1967 Camaro with 327 and a m22 Muncie Rock crusher transmission. I always thought that there was something off with the transmission because of whined so much. I learned later that that's just the way they are because of the straight cut gearing, I sure do miss that car! The transmission in this Trans Am sounded exactly like it! 😁👍

    • @ericjohnson3332
      @ericjohnson3332 3 года назад +2

      70 to 72 were functional. 73 and on were fraudulent scoops. A common mod for 77 to 79 T/A's with the squared style scoop is to cut it.
