- I'm pretty sure you will enjoy this video.
At the beginning of this race it was a mighty clash between Roger Bolliger in his 1971 Pontiac Trans AM and Daniel Schrey in his Kremer Porsche K3...In other words: pure torque vs. Turbo power....until one of the cars' gearbox put an end to this battle.
Talking about battle:
The whole race there was one fighting group consisting of two relatively modern Porsche 911 and 70's Grab Ford Capri driven by Steve Dance. These guys obviously had lots of fun.
Another rarity in the grid: a 1974 Dodge Charger built to NASCAR rules by the Petty Enterprises. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Roger Bolliger's Trans Am is beautiful! Would love to see it in person one day.
Damn, 800 hp turbo 935 vs. 800 hp Pontiac big block V8. Awesome battle they had going there in the beginning
Oh yes they had and be assured that these two had a happy drink or two together in paddock after the race
Mr Bolliger You sir do American muscle proud . WOW . Nice driving . Love that Trans Am .
800 HP? You guys are on drugs.
@@gathasofpersia6432 probably 700hp each.
But irregardless the equivalency is there. New Trans Am cars now push between 800-900 hp
That’s gotta be the most varied race I’ve ever seen. A Mustang with a Golf and a Pontiac passing a Hillman Imp and even a Talbot Sunbeam? Mental! (In a good way) 👍🏻
What a brilliant line-up
That was fun, I was pulling for the American Muscle for the start.
seriously impressed that the trans am kept the 935 in sight for so long.
that pontiac got some pace
very entertaining video.
The Pontiac is the best looking car in that lineup, and with 730 hp from that mildly built 455 (7.5 liter) engine (now I think punched out to around 496 cubes), it's certainly a match for that turbocharged 935 Porsche, & blows the rest of those little bitty Euro cars out of the water. Imagine a Ram Air IV or V as an upgraded powerplant over the Edelbrock-headed, Butler-built 455. So cool to see a Trans Am in a Trans Am-style race, without being disqualified as it was in the USA Trans Am series, because of the too large standard engine. And I like the use of the number 8 as a nod to Titus, who died in the US TA series back in the early 70's, driving a #8 Firebird..
@Sean Gavin According to Roger's Facebook page, his car tops out just under 200 m.p.h. with just the basic four speed! Imagine having a six speed, or shoehorning in some fancy new 10 speed? And his engine is a pretty mild build. I've heard of a few other videod dyno runs topping out in the 1500 hp range, normally aspirated. With turbos, the sky's the limit. Make no mistake, Roger's Firebird is not pushing the limits on Pontiac power, & it is a great handling car for something designed in the late 60's (look up Herb Adams).
Excellent race on the T/A part, also for the 938. The T/A's an asphalt water!!!!
16:06 Love the M1!
Everytime I view a video of Roger's car in action (the Trans Am) - I think, what a wonderful vehicle. I'm a V8 lover (daily drive a LS1-based car) for sure. But the comments associated are so ... Full of venom and frankly, anti-German. What's wrong with you guys? Keep in mind, the Porsche 935 has to be one of the most successful endurance and sprint cars of all time and certainly of it's era. You can still find videos of it mopping up more modern hardware. This Trans Am is also highly modified - well beyond it's original spec. On the site about it, they write: "This car is not a real clone, as it has a much bigger engine and more power than the original cars." So do try to keep this in mind when commenting - it's not an accurate comparison of what the 935 would have faced - it's just a FUN race series... So perhaps just try to enjoy the action and the sound!!!
Well said . The Porsche dominates this class . But I will always root for American Muscle . Not taking anything away from Porsche , I just love American cars. Enjoyed watching Mr Bolliger at work in that beautiful Trans Am .
el porsche 935 tenía una lucha con el pontiac transam
Super Bilder aber das Geschwafel hält ja kein Mensch aus.
Damn looks like a car mass breeding session there's like a million in this race
Not bad for a car that weighs 3,250lbs race ready. The 1971 Pontiac Trans AM did pretty good.
That Mk1 Capri is gorgeous, and competitive. The Charger looks great but..... Shame.
Der Trans Am ist ja der Wahnsinn
Ja er wirkt auf den ersten Blick beinah unscheinbar, aber er hats faustdick hinter den Ohren. Und Roger Bollinger kann ihn halt auch entsprechend bewegen. Die Onboard von dem Lauf auf meinem Kanal hast Du schon entdeckt?
@@RMAsAmateurFootage da muss ich nochmal schauen LG
@Daniel H
hab gerade festgestellt, dass das Video in der entsprechenden Playlist fehlt. Hab es hinzugefügt
Apples and oranges. SCCA Trans Am series limits displacement to less than 5 litres. With over 7 litres displacement, the Trans Am should have been even more dominant than it was. SCCA rules is SCCA rules.
American Pony Car Wins! Pontiac Trans Am is a great American car.
Esta perron el transan
Go pontiac go
Race results???? 😱
4:15 best moment ever.... The commenter STFU per nearly 10 seconds.
As much as I like these kind of races, that damn ratchet jaw on the microphone is a complete bummer. He ruined it.
Just another day on the L.A. Freeway
The Mustang was too lean rev'd up and the Charger's air cleaner was too low over the vent tubes.
+TMPCarbs I saw the black smoke from the charger on the strait a way, didn't notice the mustang...cool stuff.
Urge to play RaceRoom intensifies
The guy who is barking in the mike is on designer drug? Schrecklich vau vau vau
At 970kg or 2138Lbs with 700+Turbo only fed hp, a bit over 500Lb ft tq and the engine obscenely placed aft of its rear tires the Porsche 935 obviously has an insane and obnoxious advantage over Rogers T/A here. For good reason, it’s a factory built race car built with an open checkbook. By Porsche! It diserves respect However if the Trans Am were to be around 1200kg or 2600-2800Lbs I think it would clean up on the 935, turbos or not. It has well over 700hp also and way more then 600 Lb ft of tq without any power adders. Also without the silly space ship nose and whale tail wing obnoxiousness, it would be a real treat to witness a rethought Pontiac show it’s true meat and potatoes while giving Porsche a lil spank on the bottom in the process for good measure to let them know they aren’t the only ones who think about power to weight ratios and weight distribution management. There’s nothing like the pull of a serious Pontiac V8. It’s raw and awe as it should be. Especially in an older Pontiac under 2900Lbs, which I plan to accomplish soon. Look out Porsche, we are watching and learning.
A true David and Goliath moment . Fantastic to watch .
Trans Am guy needs to keep his left foot off the brake when accelerating down the straights.
Wtf was that yellow car??? Ive seen this some where...
Porsche 911
+PT Sternchen k thx it looks weird

Der Sprecher dort klingt wie das uneheliche Kind von Sid, dem Faultier aus Ice Age, und Manni Ludolf. Und glaubt, der Capri und der Escort sind amerikanische Autos.....
Bmw M1 ist der König🤴
Too bad no Chevy monzas showed...better aero car than those monsters....
or maybe a Shelby Mustang
Where is he 3 Rotor Mazda, he will beat that Porsche
Tja die Reifen machen schlapp bei der schweren Ami Kiste....
Lmao a Forebird leading the pack USA🤘
So much for superior German engineering.
