GT6 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Special Edition
Pictures of the 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.
Bought it because...
Special Edition too.
Firebird... aka the Screamin' Chicken.
Used it to win the Classic Muscle Car challenge in National A.
However, I have to say that the Trans Am is a pretty slow car in the game.
It's slow to accelerate, slow to brake and the top speed is nothing special.
I did win the races but only after multiple upgrades.
Stock, it probably won't win any race with comparable cars, there will always be at least two that will run away (in particular a 1966 Cobra something or other is damn hard to catch in a Trans Am).
Engine: 7.5 l (455 cid) V8 (with catalytic converter).
Performance: top speed around 120 mph (193 km/h) according to engine tuning; 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 7.8 secs.

1999 Honda INSIGHT
A Honda INSIGHT '99 to start things off on this blog.
In Grand Prix White.
Ultimately it failed though because the buying public wasn't ready.
Rear skirted wheels too... for added aerodynamics, no doubt.
Race photos.
I used it to win the electric car races challenge in National A.
This early Prius is no problem, it's the 2009 (and later) version that is harder to beat.
The battle of two Insights (and one Prius).
In Grand Prix White.
This car was meant to fight the first-gen Toyota Prius introduced in 1997 and was more of a hybrid sports car than a hybrid passenger car (the Prius).

The 1st Gen 1999 Honda Insight was introduced in Japan in November 1999 as the first production vehicle to feature Honda's Integrated Motor Assist
system. In the following month, December 1999, Insight became the first
hybrid available in North America, followed seven months later by the Toyota Prius

Had to buy and install some upgrades, not too many though, because the 2009 Toyota Prius and even the Nissan Leaf are faster stock.
