Turbo V8 Chicken: Pontiac Trans Am
Mike Musto tests the iconic 1981 Pontiac Trans Am. It had the first mass-produced turbocharged V8, and more graphic art than a basement gallery showing. Icon. Legend. Famous. Fast?

Pull the 301 out and drop in a 475 stroker
Real stock power was over after 1971
For a while yes until the early 90s.
yea the 301 is just an oil filled boat anchor lol
I had one
I had an 80 model it was a fun car T Tops crager mags
Overall yes, but the Trans Ams and the ’87 Regal GNX rocked!
Pontiac ruined a great looking car by this point.
Olds has a all aluminum turbo v8 in the sixties, but I guess depends on what you consider mass produced….
Only way you could tell there was a turbo was to drive one without the turbo first. I’m not sure what the hp was but it wasn’t very much. Under 200 hp for sure and gearing that made it slow as f**k/

They should have made the car with a 400 and then added the turbo package!
Had a new 79 trans am 6.6 which was a old’s motor
Had one too…,was a pretty decent sports car! I did a couple rough tests on speed. Approx 103mph in quarter and top end speed I’d say around 140mph. I did these in late 80’s…,motor a bit tired.
Slow as a snail.
the snail was faster,,
Slap a 455 in it and roll with the sum bitch
Muscle car? Today’s 4 cylinder cars would blow that cars doors off. The suspension, brakes and steering were garbage. The ride was abysmal. The graphics were silly. Of coarse, that’s just my humble opinion.
GNX
That’s, why I put a 455 Olds in mine.
Maybe not power but loved a lot of the styles
BOXY?
I owe a 1981 Turbo Firebird 305 it had more power ,with postive Trac rear end it was anything but slow.
170 hp turbo Joke
Ugly gutless T/A

Bruto demais!
And yet those cars are worth big money

I don’t car what they say. I love the Trans AM. A great classic car.
I spent many many weekends behind my dads 1980 turbo trans am it was slow . Overall the car was class it was beautifull and made cover of hot god magazine. I have nothing good to say about the 301 turbo charged Pontiac motor. Nothing but problems with the turbo overheating the motor as far as motor and turbo was it was a bad design and placement for the legendary TRANS AM.
