80s-90s Trans-Am Car Builds

Hard to ignore the transitional and yet formative years of the 1980's to 1990's Trans-Am.  With so many cool cars to pick from this era we had to limit the number to just 10 cars.  

Unlike the older original T/A cars from the 60's and 70's these newer cars will include racing transmissions.  Their performance will be upper A-Class right in between the S-Class Super GT T/A cars and the mid-A-Class original cars.  Without downforce these cars will be exceedingly fast and handle fairly well considering.

So grab a partner and come back with us to a transitional time in Trans-Am of turbo's, wide-body kits, and muscle!
