The Pontiac Firebird TransAM is an 80's classic. From KITT from Knight Rider to your local drag strip - it made quite the impression. Little did I know though that there was an even more special version of this car I never knew about. This is the 1989 Turbo Trans AM - which is actually powered by the Turbo V6 out of the Buick GNX. It was made for an extremely limited run and are incredibly rare. The V6 turbo Trans AM is a great case study of how the industry was changing in the form of different power plants - something we are still experimenting with to this day. So is the 1989 Pontiac Turbo Trans AM better than it's V8 counterpart or even... The Buick Grand National? Let's talk about it.
