This Trans Am Made Me Feel like Burt Reynolds in His Heyday

If you ever wanted to feel like Burt Reynolds, this 1979 Trans Am would give you the chance. I always admired the design and what it did for the movie Smokey and the Bandit, but after driving a modified one like this, I have a whole new appreciation for this car. The owner is a smart man for keeping it in such great shape and for modifying it the way he did. This is the most manageable and predictable 500 horsepower monster I’ve ever driven.
As always, feedback is welcomed. I'm a UA-camr in training, so go easy on me. Thanks for watching!
