35 Muscle Cars To Bring Back (And 10 To Forget About)

1982 Pontiac Trans Am

The 1978 Firebird Trans Am is one of the prettiest muscle cars of all time yet within just four years, the Pontiac Trans Am had become a rather slow, tepid ride. Certainly, the 1982 Trans Am looked decent enough but it needed nearly 9 seconds to hit 60 and handling was far from inspiring. Admittedly, the 1978 Firebird Trans Am was more of a looker than a race machine, but in the years after, the Trans Am got slower and slower. The 1982 Trans Am would struggle to keep up with the average modern family sedan.
