LOL, plenty of video's on YOUTUBE of yahoo's trying to do burnouts in high horsepower vehicles and wrecking them in the process. I would guess this car would be more of the same. When I was working at a BMW dealer (for about 20 years) I always pointed out: BMW may be the ultimate driving machine but it doesn't make you the ultimate driver. We see wrecked M cars all the time, usually because mom and dad bought Jr. more car than he could handle. Anyway, my point is affording it and being able to "drive it" are not the same thing.

Yep, these guys are serious about the Trans Am.

The 1977 Trans Am was my dream car as a teenager ever since I got a ride in one before I could even drive myself. That dream never materialized. Have to say it never will, as some dreams are best left at just that.

never say never Serge for my dream car as a teenager was a '67 Corvette 'BB', it took almost fifty years but I made it happen ! Obviously I had a ten year start on you !

The '67 BB Vette was my dream car in my early 20's. At that point I had a chance to buy my neighbor's mint, low mileage, numbers matching, Goodwood Green BB for a reasonable sum of $12.5k. It was in 1988 I believe.

I doubt it would have made it to today Dave. Not in my early 20's anyways. I got an '84 Vette later that year and blew the transmission 2x on it but man that car was a looker. Had a Greenwood aero package with a chin spoiler, wing, wood dash cover and sheepskin seat covers! Used to turn a lot of heads back then.

It really needs a set of old school honeycomb wheels on it. I doubt they make them in 20" though!
