WHO WINS? - 1971 455 HO Trans Am vs 1970 Camaro SS 396 L78 ?? Please HIT Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNa6darq0bmZ6kLtsliiWiA?sub_confirmation=1 http://www.YouTube.com/RoadTestTV A 1971 Pontiac Trans and a 1970 Camaro SS396 go head to head in a quarter mile drag race. Pontiac vs Chevrolet, so who wins? Both cars are competing in the Pure Stock Drags, so modifications are limited. The only modifications permitted are minor porting, blue printing and minor weight reduction without altering the stock appearance. That means stock intake manifold, stock exhaust manifolds and street tires. The 1971 Trans AM in the video is powered by Pontiac's potent 455 HO (High Output) (7.5L) which was rated at 335 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. The 455 HO was produced as emission controls were starting to be incorporated into cars and compression ratios were falling. Despite the reduced horsepower rating, the 455 HO was one of the strongest motors to come out of the Pontiac division. The 1970 Camaro SS 396 in the other lane is super rare as only 600 L78 Camaro's were built in 1970. The rare SS396 Camaro is powered by Chevy's potent, solid lifter, high winding big block 396 cubic inch (6.5 L) RPO L78 which was rated at 375 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. The L78 is a legend with Chevy Big Block fans. 335 and 375 horsepower doesn't sound like much today; however, in the early 70's, these cars with minor mods were menaces on the street. The SS396 is equipped with GM's Turbo 400 automatic transmission whereas the 455 HO Trans Am is backed by a 4 speed manual transmission. So WHO WINs? Watch the video and see what happens.

Transition among trans men can involve a variety of social, medical, and legal steps.
