Hero Car Showdown! General Lee VS Bandit Trans Am

• Car Stunt Thrill Show ...
Watch this video featuring James and Sam jump a car in a stunt show!
Turn up the volume and enjoy this raw footage of the Dukes of Hazzard General Lee Dodge Charger and the Smokey and the Bandit Pontiac Trans Am called Trigger get after it across the countryside.
There's no music, just the natural engine sounds in this string out of footage from an old shoot I did years ago and includes many of the shots that didn't' get used before.
I directed, shot and edited the original video for Hot Rod Magazine so go watch that video when you get a chance...it has over 3.8 million views!
• GENERAL LEE VS THE BAN...
Both of the cars used in this video are owned by Mark Osborne, so HUGE thanks to him for letting us beat on them so hard!
The driver of the General Lee is Sam Young while the wheel man in the Trans Am is James A. Smith.
I hope you enjoy this footage as much as I do.
Thanks for watching and please subscribe and share!

Let's be 100% honest guys, nothing looks better drifting around turns in the country than the General

[@z32mike]

Lastashio trans am does

[@dochollywood4576]

Ok, honest it is. The Trans Am handles better, looks way better and put side by side with the same size engines in stock trim, the 400ci Pontiac would leave the 400ci Mopar in the dust. The Charger was a lot heavier and the Trans Am had better horsepower and torque. So, before all you Mopar guys start yelling "yea? Well let see it run against the hemi!", ok, the Hemi was an option in the Charger but the 455 was an option in the Trans Am.

[@ronbloomberg]

@@jenningsmills5398 .. Actually the Street Hemi put out a peak hp of 490.

[@bevgilmore1996]

@@dochollywood4576 Sure, the 455 was an impressive engine, but we're talking about HERO cars here. No. 1: The Bandit hero car very clearly had "6.6" plastered on the shaker (the 400ci) which made respectable-for-the-time 200hp that pales in comparison to either the 440 Mag/6-pack OR the 426 Hemi. It's even outplayed by the 383 Magnum, which made 335 bhp. No. 2: The 455 SD (which made crazy power for the time) was only only used through the '76 model year. We're talking about a '77/'78 car here. And let's not forget, the Firebird had a curb weigh of roughly 3,600 lbs. The Charger was only 300 lbs heavier. Given the 100-200 hp gap (depending on engine), this is a pretty moot point. Don't get me wrong, I love the crap out of the Trans Am. It's been one of my all-time dream cars since I saw the movie. But saying the Firebird overpowers the Charger in a straightline is uselsess. The facts don't line up. However, the Firebird DID have a more modernized suspension set up and definately would have handled better. So when choosing between the two, it's really a pick-your-poison sort of deal. At the end of the day, it's important to remember that you're allowed to love multiple cars at once. It's not like your going to hurt their feelings. I''m a self-proclaimed Mopar guy through-and-through, but I love Chevys, Fords, Pontiacs. Anything from the 60s, I'm likely to enjoy. Heck, I love me some Japanese Muscle just as much as Detroit Muscle. Edit: Oh yeah, and saying that the Firebird looks better is subjective. If that's your opinion, that's cool. But please don't use matters of personal preference as arguing points. It just makes you look silly. That's just some advice from one angry commenter to another. Cheers!

[@jamespiper4398]

More horsepower is not always faster, ya gotta get it to the ground.

[@gzuzsavz]

James Piper no trouble there. Leaf springs are the most efficient way & the design pushes the rear axle down..very firmly. If you watch a classic Mopar muscle car on launch, you'll note the rear end rise, not drop..along with the front. The best of these were the superstock type..extra curvature to increase that effect. Flatter springs are better for cornering, given an equal spring rate.

I really like both of these cars; Smokey and the Bandit and The Dukes of Hazzard. It doesn't get any better than this.
