Since when did Joe Pesci start doing car reviews 😂
How am I funny? Do I amuse you? 😁
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars your a real funny Guy. Funny How? Lol
@@goa699 Am I George Carlin funny, Spin City funny, Rita Rudner funny? 😁
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars "Funny, like you're a clown?" Great scene. Thanks for the video and laughs, especially about the software.
@@rodguitarezz3482 Thank you for watching! I am glad you liked it. Do I amuse you? 😁
Cool vid! Here's an interesting story: My uncle owned at one point thee actual prototype blackbird which was titled as "PR-1." It was a silver T-Top car. There was also "PR-2" which was the convertible version. "PR-1"was built as a phase 1 car with 380hp. It was actually considered as a "Year One/Carl Black Blackbird Edition." I know it's alot titles wrapped up into one. In 2005 we entered the car at the Hot Rod Power Tour which started in Milwaukee. The folks at Year One stopped by to see the car and even gave us special silver decals to put on the window. We only drove it for one segment of tour but we had a blast. I just can't get over the chambered exhaust system and the way it was designed to be even considered as street legal "he-he".
Eventually he sold the car and then end up getting another one, only it was now a phase 2 car with 425hp and it was now called as a Carl Black Edition- the blackbird was removed because of legalities. (From what I was told- Matt Murphy would know why) but that car was even meaner. What blows me away between these two cars is that everything that was done from Carl Black, only the suspension was pretty much stock! I would know because I had one of them on the lift and did a inspection while doing the brakes. It's crazy with that amount of torque and horsepower these guys didnt try to beef up the suspension any better the the stock WS6 suspension package and lowered springs with the torque thrust wheels. But either way these cars are very special and rare!
Thanks! This one is labeled as PR-1 as well but as you said, pretty sure it started as Phase 1 and was later turned up a notch.
Gorgeous Trans Am
Thank you, appreciate it.
Those cars are already powerful at 325 horses I can imagine 650. I will probably have to build an automatic. I have one 😉
This car was absolutely insane. Such a raw and analog experience. Thanks for watching 👍
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars I know it was thanks for sharing 😁👍
Best looking would go for more the 70s for Trans Ams. That generation shines like no other no matter if it's slow or not. The 67, and the GTO from 66-69 were fantastic Pontiac designs
I agree but you can't deny that this is an awesome looking car.
The super duty 73-74 TA was fastest until the TTA came out then these out ran them all.
Worst two girls to ever get into a Trans Am. Give this car to a real man to review. Then everybody can see America at its finest. You'll see a great car actually get tested and see a good ole boy have fun. These little boys are doing a disgrace to this car and our Country. Sad days we live in.
well floor it damn it! WTF!
Too much traffic, too much power, too chicken lol
You won’t learn if you don’t try it! RIP Pontiac I hope I live to see it come back with their innovating designs.
@@4739-g9c It was not my car so did not want to experiment and the place was crawling with cops. I miss my firebird, it was a great car.
George Clooney and Joe Pesci look real young here
Not pleasant to drive huh. You know how lucky you are to be behind the wheel of that beast? Trippin
Sweet bird for sure!
Thank you sir!
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars no problem! I have always liked the last generation birds! My cousin had one when I was young and I always admired it! Black on black, tinted and paid Trans am in purple also it was the 90'S and if had a purple light underneath it which I find tacky now but back then I liked it on that car! I'm always on the hunt for a version that eludes me and is probably in collectors hands by now! But in a specific year a handful were made will no T- topps just a solid roof! I'm sure its too late but I hope!
@@ericmcginnis9413 Those were the days man. They are out there so keep looking. I took a ride in another blackbird couple of days ago with 565 miles on the clock.
The bucking is the cam spec
How do you avoid that?
@@ryryy1980 ride the clutch a bit
You just need to learn to drive better dude. Obviously you're not used to drive in cars that powerful or sensitive. It's a careful modulation of throttle and clutch not just riding the clutch and sometimes it doesn't matter what gear you simply need to coast in neutral or with the clutch pushed in while it's in gear and coasting. It's just practice. And yes you're doing this because the idle characteristics due to the cam which obviously does not like low RPM so if you're going to cruise slow you need to be in that 3000 RPM carefully modulating the gas anything under three grand you're going to be modulating the clutch as well as coasting to keep it smooth. Yeah you should try driving one of these cars with a spec stage 3 clutch those things are super sensitive they're on or off very hard to modulate. I had it installed in my car which made me learn how to really modulate throttle and clutch
Or he could simply downshift while going thru town,instead of Lugging 6 &5 th Gears.Lol
This Trans Am was Actually Sold by Carl Black in Kennesaw, GA. The Formula version of these cars were sold in Roswell, GA. These were Built by GMMG in Marietta. Who also Built the Dale Earnhardt and Tom Henry Camaro's.
It's on sale on cargurus for 75k
Really = who put u to in this car and WHY
Carl Black Pontiac Buick and GMC did zero modifications to that car, a company called GMMG outbof Marietta, GA did all the modifications for the cars that Carl black commissioned. I used to work there when I got out of high school and through college.
passenger, you do realize the seatbelt goes OVER the shoulder, right?
That is a nice looking TA, would've been nice to drive it to the boonies n let it rip a few times.. nice work though!!
Thanks for watching! This is a scary car to drive and being so rare I didn't want to end up in a wall somewhere 😁
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars much respect to that
Your lugging the transmission. just make your higher in the rpm's.
Well it's no Gen2 TA, but pretty good. However, after 1981, the interiors became cheap looking. And you could no longer have a Pontiac engine after 1981. Not a huge fan of the Chevy engines in these, but I do understand GM's need for cost-cutting, & cheap can be attractive when you're on a budget.
Agreed. The downfall started with all the cost cutting. The interiors in these are horrid.
I'm 5'2 and the visor touches my head in these 4th gens
I am about 5'10 and I was sitting pretty low. Joe is 6'5 and we could barely fold him in lol
I'm 6'5 310 and I fit in reallllllll good
@@austintodd3692 This car has a roll cage so the seats don't go back all the way 😊
I'm 5'9", and I fit just fine with room to spare. If you are hitting your head on the sun visor, you are dangerously close to the steering wheel and need to lean back.
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars Joe should try my BB convertible, also, drive side has more room. No catalytic converter bulge in the floorpan- LET JOE DRIVE! lol
It's bucking because the tune needs to be updated. U should have open the cut out?
I imagine the tune needs some work and idle speed needs to be adjusted, but in general cars like these don't do well in traffic. With so much power it does not crawl very well 😁
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars I have a friend with a 1999 ws6 with the t Rex cam and it doesn't buck down low at all it's all in the tune and a light flywheel.
@@hotrodhootie Yeah, I imagine the tune needs some tinkering. The car has been sitting for some time so needs some TLC 😁
Cam specs make it buck.. big big cam dont like low rpm
"I could only imagine what would happen if I floored this thing"
* *doesn't floor it* *
:(
@Mr. 6 liter did I miss something he said 600 horsepower plus
So right away the driver claims he's never driven stick in his entire life, but then immediately says he owned a 6 speed 2000 formula? No wonder he couldn't drive his in the snow or this one at all, and also doesn't seem to know the specific mods of this car or why the "throttle is sensitive"... Not sure if he's representing an actual garage? Doesn't seem knowledgeable or experienced at all
I said ,I have been driving stick my entire life. You need to listen carefully.
Sounds like you clucking to early from what I see but that's a nice black bird
Software doesn't weigh anything! LOL.
It sure doesn't 😁
Jerking because it was bogging itself down my car does the same
Sounds stock to me, maybe an mild cam , definitely not 650hp , nice car tho
It's a GMMG car with an LS6. It's 650hp and then some.
It's a C5 r LS6 to be specific not just a regular LS6
C5r meaning it's a stroked LS6 using LS6 block & c5r heads ...it's stroke to 455cu. in just like the old early seventies T/A's
lol said he is not a car guy , might be a guy , guy
👍
Wtf did I waste my time
I did too I can't get back my time I wasted watching this video
Learn how to drive a stick Joey.
Yeah, we gotta teach him 😁
Trailer park special! 80s, 90s Camero and firebirds used to be the mullet trailer park guys car.
Now it's a collectable 😊
So your ex boyfriend had one? Cool car anyway
Is this where you wanna be? Picking on poor little old joe dirt

IT LOOKS LIKE A BIG WATERBUG.

Why so unpleasant to drive??
Too much power for the street. Fumes, a lot of heat radiating from the engine. Stiff suspension. This car was built for the track.
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars sounds like a perfect car for a drag racer...its a win in my book.
@@speedracer4229 It is perfect for drag racing, but in that video we got stuck in traffic and it was not pleasant.
It's kinda like he has never driven a car with a big cam...and that much torque. And his comment that he had a great car and sold it because of snow..buy a damn truck and keep the car.
Wow, you are so smart. I wish I would have met you back in the day so you could advise me on how to live my life.
Dude did I miss the specs? How about 0-60 and quarter mile???? C’mon MAN
That information is not available. You want me just to make up numbers?
What do you mean bro? You drove the fucking thing! Lol.. I don’t understand so they let you test drive it however you didn’t get any info? Makes no sense! If you gonna have a channel make sure you complete the DDz otherwise don’t post.
@@JR-jk5wz That information is simply not available. This is a one off car and I provided all the information that I had. Also, I am sorry I forgot to ask you what I should and should not post on my channel.
Don’t say sorry! I was never subscribed anyways. ✌🏼
