1973 Pontiac Trans Am

Introduced for 1973 and lasting only two model years would be the Super Duty 455 available on the Legendary Trans Am. In 1973 only 252 units would be produced including 180 automatics and 72 4 speed cars. Very under rated at 290hp the SDs were producing performance numbers that everyone was more accustomed to seeing in 1969 and 1970. The SD-455 has been accurately described as Pontiac's last stand and the last real muscle car. The SD-455 was a thinly disguised race engine: four-bolt mains reinforced block forged pistons forged connecting rods nitrided crankshaft even a provision in the block for a dry sump oiling system. The SD-455's cylinder heads were a free-breathing design patterned after the howling Ram Air IV heads and the cam was similar to the grind used in the Ram Air IV. In 1973 the SD 455 ran the quarter mile in 13.751 seconds and at a terminal speed of 103.56 mph. That was fast. That is outrageously fast and it was done in a street legal car a 1973 street legal car with a full tank of gas (3854 lb. curb weight) street tires and wait for it . . . automatic transmission.
