Pontiac Trans Am

The Trans Am is the performance version of the Pontiac Firebird. It is named after the famous Trans Am Series, but did not compete in the series until the five liter displacement limit was lifted in 1973 due to its larger engine. The car was noted for its iconic phoenix engine design, introduced in the late seventies. A Trans Am was used in the popular TV show Knight Rider. The Trans Am was also used in IMSA GT due to the Trans Am Series sharing cars with the IMSA GTO category.
