You can tell that both cars horsepower peeks were very close doo to upperend leveled out the same. But I think thru my own experience that if the 79 FireBird would've geared more, maybe 342s it will be top in all aspects 60ft, qrt ml, and top end.
Nice race. Would like to race you guys in my 81 TA. Just to see how I would do. Old school Pontiac 461 stroker with turbo 350 and 3.08 gears. Would be fun.
One thing I love is the Kids now a Days would jump on the Trans Am thinking it bone stock.Then all they'll see is his Tail Lights.I gotta hand it to the Guy in the TA.It runs really well for what it started life ass.My Cousin had a 2001 SS Camaro he done a ton of work on.I was outside one Summer Afternoon he pulls up.Him and the Guy he ran around with before he was Married.Botg great Guys for sure.Different Cam Some Sensors they changed etc.He told me the best quarter mile speed was 122.He couldn't keep Transmissions in it lol.The one he's got now is way faster he said.I always give him a hard time when I see him.
Give the bandit ta a 1970 pontiac 400 quadrajet 4bl and turbo 400 trans aluminum radiator with a 12 bolt posi rear with 3:23 gears and it would be all different :)
3.23is already in there .Its a t/a 6.6 automatic and they came with that gear.Aluminum radiator does not make it faster and turbo 400 is heavy and slows it down.You are dead wrong on all points you make.
I'll say one thing for sure.Whoever Built the Engine in that Trans Am they did it right.Or what gears in the rear end.Alot of Horses and the wrong gears your gonna accomplish nothing.In the Words of Monza on Street Outlaws,Spinning ain't winning
That's what I'm talking about guys having fun on the back roads that's what it's all about
The trans am definitely won the beauty contest that's for sure.
*camaro
@@pingzav8494 comical, trans am always looks better than the camaro
@@AatroxSuppMain ok? Did I ask?
@@pingzav8494 you brought it upon yourself by saying "camaro*"
@@AatroxSuppMain no i didn’t, u brought up something totally different
They are both winners. 2 beautiful cars. I owned a 74 TA and now own a 2000 Firehawk. Both are priceless experiences...

The sounds of those two big blocks combining is music to my ears
Now that's what I call a good race
That ain't no stock Oldsmobile 403 in that Trans Am.
The extra gearing of the 4 the gen Camaro AND lighter wieght, and better aero is helping out the Camaro out.
I don’t care what anyone says but for a 1979 car keeping up with that 4th Gen that’s impressive! Both awesome cars and builds
The engine is swapped in the trans am to a ls
Very impressed by the T/A against the Camaro. Great race!!
Cool , pretty evenly matched.
For filming purposes only as this would be a one car show in the real world.
My guess is the old trans am ran out of gearing?

Same here I like my 03 Cobra with whipple 3.8 supercharger cold air intake aftermarket pulley and flywheel
You would lose!
@@johnbarnett4858 sure I doubt that bc any car guy doesn’t just list “fly wheel” as a mod
@@jimmycline4778 lol no.
I love 💕 that bandit trans am.there awesome
Man I miss the old days racing 100 mph cars. Never had more fun.

love close races
Hell yeah
And which one would you rather own eh?
Nice race! Pretty even.

That would make the car considerably slower! So why?
@@jimmycline4778 The Trans am has a ls1 motor. That engine is probably a couple hundred pounds lighter than the 400. Weight makes a big difference

This race answers all questions
77 the 4 speed?
Beautiful Firebird and Camaro
Legend has it, Camaro is still WOT
Banging door handles.
Those 403's were badass at the time
They have the same engine so................??
Should of tuned it up before the race
Should build the old 400 up, its a very capable motor with the right fixings
I agree but the LS is lighter.
That year wasn’t that fast had an Oldsmobile engine. Try the earlier models, with the pontiac engines.

very close even think transam let off gas early
That last caption hahaha!
Nice shifting
😂😂😂
Race u in my 1979 silver anniversary trans am and we will see who got pull.
Trans am is King of the Road

i like my 4th gen but those bandit TAs are schweeet.
I'd prefer Trans Am any day!
Awesome

Show me a closer race and I’ll show you a liar
This is far from a race.
This is 2 cars filming each other going down the road pretending to be racing.
Charles henson ok Charles
@@noahadams2694 Charles is another clueless puppy.Lol
For crying out loud. They're out there having fun. Relax man
@@davidwatson4723
Nobody the weren't haven't fun.
I'm sure they were as they pretended to be racing 😅🤣
Junk! both of them would never own these 🚗
