Truly the last muscle car of the classic era. When every other manufacturer was wimping out, Pontiac added the 310-hp 455 Super Duty V8 to the Trans Am.
The new high-compression, overhead-valve, 303-cubic-inch Rocket V8 made up to 165 hp when the best Ford only made 100. The 88 was prototype for the next 25 years of American performance.
