When it comes to building, restoring, or upgrading an American pony or muscle car, few components influence both performance and personality quite like the carburetor. The Holley Street Warrior 600 CFM 4160 Carburetor - available at Classic Industries - delivers the perfect blend of reliability, drivability, and classic performance that enthusiasts have trusted for generations.

There's no denying the pure cool factor of a late '70s Trans Am, especially one in the iconic black-and-gold paint scheme with snowflake wheels and that timeless hood bird graphic. However, its performance was another story. As a result of increasing emissions regulations, the T/A 6.6 was rated at only 200 horsepower in stock form, leaving many enthusiasts looking for new ways to make it as fast as it looks. The owner of this '77 Trans Am, Armen Pezeshkian, asked Los-Angeles-based restoration shop Vintage Motorworks to do just that, and the result is an 800-horsepower supercharged monster you have to hear for yourself.

In nature, a hawk is a bird of prey that often hunts smaller birds. In the automotive world, the name Firehawk holds a similarly menacing reputation. The SLP Firehawk was originally released in 1992 as a high-performance package for the Pontiac Firebird Formula, and was available directly through Pontiac dealers under RPO code B4U. Over the next decade, the Firehawk package would continue to be available for the fourth-generation Firebird and Trans Am under RPO codes R6V (1993-97) and WU6 (1999-02). The following video from MotorWeek takes a look back at a pre-production prototype of the 1998 Firehawk, complete with an LS1 V8 and unique fixed headlamps.

At first glance, it looks like a refined late-’70s Trans Am - long hood, wide hips, Solar Gold paint glowing under the sun. But this one isn’t about nostalgia. This is what happens when a second-gen Trans Am grows up, gets real money thrown at it, and decides it’s done pretending.

Gearheads often remember the fast cars more than the movies or television shows where they appeared. In many scenes, cool cars outshine the actors, the television scripts, or the movie screen plays. The car chase scenes are often more compelling than anything else. Back in the days of Blockbuster Video, who doesn't remember renting the Bullitt video, sliding the tape into your VCR, and having the video cued up at the famous chase scene between the Charger and the Mustang fastback? Roaring engine sounds often eclipse a tv or movie score, if you want to get right down to it. And the sound effects of sirens blaring, cars crashing, sliding out, the General Lee jumping a stream, or burning rubber can even give a car guy or car gal goosebumps and an adrenalin rush right in front of a home or surround sound movie screen.

The sort of vehicles that we get exposed to in our upbringing can influence the kind of cars and trucks that we wish to own later in life. If the vehicle is old enough (and the car's would-be caretaker has sufficient spending cash), it could be the sort of car/truck that an auto enthusiast wishes to purchase as a project vehicle to maintain (if it's running), renovate, or resto-mod. The various forms of media — radio, TV, movies, the internet, video games, etc. — all can contribute in a big way to this sort of automotive exposure and influence. Today, we'll discuss a few of our favorite American classic cars from movies and TV shows.

If you've ever considered buying a classic American car from the late 1960s through the 1990s, you're likely familiar with the term T-tops. These removable roof panels became an extremely popular option that (literally and figuratively) bridged the gap between a fixed-roof coupe and a convertible. With T-tops, drivers could choose to enjoy the open-air driving experience of a convertible, the comfort and enclosed feel of a fixed roof, and — for models that used transparent T-tops — the ambience of a moonroof. In this article, we'll review the invention of T-tops, how they rose to prominence, and how they faded into obscurity again.
