Yeah that 4.9 was a heap of shit. I had passenger trains that could blow that thing away.

The 6.6 had some serious get up and go.


Another scene:

Snowman is at the go go pump gettin some chow for he and Fred, while these drunk bikers beat the shit out of him in the "Joint." Cledus makes it outside to his rig, and Fred magically appears...

He gets up in his cab, fires up the Kenworth looks at the parked bikes and smiles. Then he proceeds to run over all those Hogs and Hondas, and that three toothed long haired pond scum fucker smiles and says, "Far out."

[StoneCold]

Snowman and Cletus.

I'm gonna have to rent this sucker again and soon.

Depends on the 6.6 ..they had 2 different ones.. The 403 big block 6.6 and the 400 small block 6.6 .The 403 was auto only,the 400 was Manual only.. The Manual 400 was faster.. I had 2 friends that had one of each.. The big block had tons of torque but auto's have highway gears..The manual had 411's ,no top end tho.. My 99 TA will spank them both and its not even close!

[styxman]

one word AUDI, now fuck off the gay twist. If Smokey had an Audi the film would have been over in 20 minutes....period.

My 6.6 olds had an aftermarket gear kit that let it both smoke tires and hit high end speeds of 160. I bought it from the guy who'd customized it. I scared the hell out of a couple friends when I took it top end. "Must stay in the middle lane!"

Is your 99 stock and what does it top out at?

RS4?

[ScarabGator]

From part 2-"Daddy, look at that big ugly alligator!" "That reminds me Junior, Ive got to call your mama..." ONe more----"Daddy, Im scared" "I know Junior, I can smell it!!!!"

[Rockindeano]

Fuck Audi

absofuckin'lutely....Dean, Audi and Honda rule the roads dude

Didn't Buford T. Justice say "Sumbitch" for " Sonofabitch"?

shame they can't get Clarkson and Topgear (maybe they do?) in the US, fuck knows what they would make of that?

Veyron vs Eurofighter

[Rockindeano]

Honda rules the road? Shut up.

Look at NASCAR. Chevrolet ruled, Ford and Dodge stunk and Toyota was an embarrassment. I don't see Euro makers coming in and competing.

[ScarabGator]

screw all of you-Im buying a Delorean!!!

They don't need to, its a hick homegrown series, no commercial point for them. Audi built a V10 diesel that won the Daddy of Races the Le Mans 24 hour...

That Lemans shit is just that, shit. A bunch of rocket cars built like Disneyland rides, blowing up and wrecking as they go over a piece of broken fan belt. Nascar encompasses everything. Fuck you Euros. Go build more roads for 150 mph operations and let the US defend your sorry asses.

So wrong man. Le Mans shows the true mettle of a race endurance car. Absolute engineering gems. Circuit is awesome even with the chicanes on the Mulsanne straight. In the late 60s Porsche built the 917 which kicked the GT40s ass. 250mph on a 3 mile straight. In 1970. Makes an oval look as interesting as lettuce, NASCAR encompasses not a lot. What's 'defending our sorry ass' got to do with fuck all?

[G.I.Jim]

screw all of you-Im buying a Delorean!!!

You'd better buy a tow truck while you're at it! That thing will make you WISH you were going back to the future!

She's American made, you know what I mean?
Red on black, she's a street machine.
Set's ten inches off the ground with a custom plate
That says I-E-A-T Z28
Trans Am

Trans Am
Highway Wonderland.
Yeah, '79 will be the end of the road.
If you want horse power overload.
Ooh, if you like kicks, just take her to the floor
And you red-line shift them gears feel the engine roar on my
Trans Am
Come on catch me if you can
In my Trans Am, Highway Wonderland.
Trans Am
Trans Am
Trans Am
Highway Wonderland.
And she shines on the street.
And she shines at the heat.
And she shines in my baby's eyes.
And she shines on every other guy's
Trans Am

Trans Am
Highway Wonderland.
-solo-
T-R-A-N-S A-M
Trans Am!
-2nd solo-
From Daytona Beach down to Riverside
If there's a race, she's qualified.
My six point six gets a little too heavy
For a "Big Block" Ford or a 350 Chevy
Trans Am
Come on, catch me if you can in my
Trans Am, Highway Wonderland

Nobody wants to see little Porshes who get touched and break up like Space Shuttles. Nascar has meaty cars and badass drivers. If Nascar sucks, why are all these Grand Prix drivers coming over?

Fuck Europe, all of it.

PS- Brush your teeth too Marc. And spell your name right. It's spelled Mark, Marc; that's gay.

That's funny. That's what I was born with so fuck you. 'Little Porsches' were 7 litre monsters making nigh on 700hp even then. Nascar - Meaty drivers? Jeff Gordon bottled the chance to go up against the mighty herr Schumacher. Montoya was next to useless in F1 and ends up put out to grass in Nascar. Nigel Mansell came over in 93 and won the Indycar title as a Rookie - totally kicked 'homegrown ass - stats speak for themselves. Any 'F1' drivers who go to Nascar couldn't step up to the plate in F1. I do however, admit that modern F1 is shit to watch until they sort the aero effects and make overtaking possible. Real men - try MotoGP and the great Valentino Rossi.

You mean you clean your teeth? Listen, we populated you.

1. The slow drive by behind a barn where he looks directly into the camera and grins.

That's classic Burt Reynolds, man. He was a friggin king of breakikng the screen and staring into the camera. Every late 70s early 80s movie he was in, he did it at least once...and you never thought it cheesy....you were kinda expecting it as his calling card.

Gotta love Burt!

I think he did it in Hooper also. Dude had a million dollar smile.

My old man liked that movie so much, we went out and bought the T/A 6.6. Ours was white, but did have that gold eagle on the hood. It did move tho. Man that thing had power.

Hey, Deano
Your Ole Man was cool!

I'm trying to remember
but White w blue stripe was from 69 to 72 w small eagle on the nose
Then came the colors & the big eagle.

73 Had the SD Super Duty
very few of them & $$$$

6.6 would be a 455
that would be 71 up as the
RA 3 T/A 70 was a 400 ci 6 L hi compression engine
after that the compression was low

I did love my Trans AM 19 years before we parted

Now I have a 5L Benz

Frog: You have a great profile.
Bandit: Yeah I do, don't I. Especially from the side.
Frog: Well at least we can agree on something.
Bandit: Yeah we both like half my face.
