Images of the March SS Trans Am's engine:




I nice spread of images from page 21 in the SS article:


Unfortunately the article does not seem to test the Trans Am;
Instead it compares two Formulas;
1) Red; Auto (std engine w-A/C & 3.08:1 gears): 15.2 @ 92mph
2) "stick shift" with "3.9 rear gear": 14.5 @ 100.5mph

The article spends alot of time on the RAIV & RAV stuff, then ends it with the following:
Quote:
The horsepower ratings for the straight four barrel and Ram Air III have been modestly spaced at 300 and 345 respectively. Power ratings for the Ram Air IV is not available yet. How they'll be factored by the racing organizations is anybody's guess. We can tell you from having driven them that there is a mighty big spread in feel.
If you have a smart phone, and email me your number I can send you full sized images of the entire article so that you can read it start to finish.
