@@hooniganruiz5613 Thank you for the kind words! Cars like this Trans-Am and Challenger are very rare here too but I will always try to travel to a few of their events when I can. In september I will see another batch of awesome track-focused muscle cars so stay tuned!
Read an online article and seen a couple videos of the build on this car. The attention to detail is absolutely unreal. Show car quality on a racetrack vehicle. Beautiful and very purpose built. Love this car and the Challenger featured in another video!
Thank you! Unfortunately I didn’t get enough footage of the Rover for a proper video but I’m looking into starting to upload shorts, in which case I might share the handful of clips I did get 😅
I wish I can hear more classic american v8 in my area. LS3 is the only american V8 I've ever heard in person. Anyway, thank you for posting this video✊🏻
Thanks for watching! Yeah classic American stuff can be hard to find outside of the US. I’m lucky to live within a few hours of some race tracks that host events with them 🙌🏻
Just imagine the weight on the front axle... You sure need some hard springs and wide tires there. Must feel like driving a power-driven sledgehammer haha. Love the car
@@DTroop10thCav. I've only ever seen it in videos. I think the only chance to catch a car that rare in Europe is to go to Goodwood, which is definitely on my bucketlist! I'll be seeing some more cool muscle cars later this year but where I live what you get to see is fairly limited, haha.
That's some of the nastiest raspiest exhaust I've ever heard on a big block. The big Charger 572 Hemi you showed had a deeper sound to it. This is higher-pitched and snarlier. Pure "get the hell out of my way" evil.
This is a modern build (around 2011 I believe). Back in the '70s the Trans Am race cars would've made between 400 and 500 horsepower from what I could find.
Must be nice that's my shit right there wish I had another life with the right people so that could be me right car right type of racing but never gonna happen because it's already been done fml
Nah not secret at all, this car has been driving around in Europe for a long time and if you google Roger Bolliger Trans-Am you will find some pictures/ footage of the engine bay no problem
Always loved the looks of the 2nd gen Trans Ams
Much better than with the second iteration of the front end. Though that was not bad either. The first is just better.
I had a 71 Firebird with a 350. Great car
Me too 😁
I have owned 4 Trans Ams and could sit in them all day just to hear that V8,
Come on guys, give a comment and a like. This channel should have thousands more subscribers, you need to do your part.
Appreciate your support as always my friend. Your kind words mean a lot!
This channel really is a hidden gem. Ive never seen touring muscle cars here in the states like this. I want one as a daily!

I first saw this mighty T/A many years ago, have been in awe of it ever since.
Theres nothing like big cubic inches compressing air the rumble in your soul shaking the surrounding area.
Sounds like the hammers of hell. Just outstanding. Thank you!
We love V8 thunder!
Love the cammed up big block running down the little sh*t mixers thing
I miss Pontiac.

wonderfull car, I have the same in original version with "only" a 7.5L. Defently a keeper. Only 1236 made in 1971 with automatic transmission
That's awesome, consider me very jealous!
Excellent work, came for the Trans Am stayed for the Rover SDI.........Please do that one next!!!! (Subscribed)
Thank you! Unfortunately I didn’t get enough footage of the Rover for a proper video but I’m looking into starting to upload shorts, in which case I might share the handful of clips I did get 😅
SDI? Where?!
@@AlwinSVPlease do :), subscribed
Absolute beauty
That is TIGHT bruvv, love it.
An American 1970s car is just this gorgeous thing. A Unicorn. Full stop.
Butler Motor ‼️ OH Yeah 👍👍👍
Damn that car sounds awesome!
You get a new sub, good sir!!!
Thank you, kind sir!
One good looking car!
496 cubic inches of American muscle 💪 !
🥰🤪ça me rend dingue cette légende 👂et le V8 truc de ouf

Master piece 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I bet this car is close to a 50/50 weight balance.
That is awesome. No replacement for cubic inches...brute force.
Glorious 👍👍
Bad ass bird!
Roger Bolliger and his Trans Am! Currently building a copy in 1/24 scale Slot Car.
That’s sick! I wish there was a 1/43 model of the car
It’s beautiful
Big poncho let’s go😎
The car of my dreams, smokey and the bandit,1977
Cool as heck!
Not sure which I like best the T/A or the Transam. Love them both. I was a teenager when all these cars were racing.
I’m assuming by the ‘Butler Performance’ decal on the scoop it’s still Pontiac powered? PS, so good to see a Gen II that isn’t a Camaro!
Yeah it’s an all-aluminium Butler 496 Pontiac block
Yes sir still Butler Powered
Sub’d, nice footage/sound!
Thank you!
This is cool content!
Phwwooo sweat music to my ears
Thank you so much for posting,I really enjoy watching these muscle cars! Are there any AMC Javelins on the race curcuit?
Thank you for watching! Sadly I am not aware of any Javlins racing in Europe though I’d love to see one
@@AlwinSV Maybe someone will start racing one soon,they are nice looking cars.
@@AlwinSV Have you ever seen the 1976 Nascar Olympia Charger racing?I watched a video of it but the video is around ten years old.Wonderful car.

Only Javelins been raced in Europe afaik in the late 70s and early 80s in Autospeedway racing on tracks like Baarlo and Venray in the Netherlands

Sweet! Better than a ls7
America is the best
Aftermarket block and probably a 4.50 stroke crankshaft. The Aftermarket block is just stronger, better designed.
👍👏🥳
Dä Hansi👍
Need these cars to power the failing South African power grid😃😃
Were they already 730 hp in the 70s or is it modern build?
This is a modern build (around 2011 I believe). Back in the '70s the Trans Am race cars would've made between 400 and 500 horsepower from what I could find.
@@AlwinSVnewer build, more cubic inches and better flowing heads equals more power.
There is NO replacement for displacement !!! (mic deop)
💥💯👌😎💪🤙
So the 496 is a punched out 7.5 liter 455 big block??
I'm not sure of the specifics and how the engine came to be, I just know this engine is an all aluminium Butler 496 Pontiac block 😅
Hubba, Hubba.
Must be nice that's my shit right there wish I had another life with the right people so that could be me right car right type of racing but never gonna happen because it's already been done fml
Would have loved to look under that hood. Must be top secret….
Nah not secret at all, this car has been driving around in Europe for a long time and if you google Roger Bolliger Trans-Am you will find some pictures/ footage of the engine bay no problem
I thought this car was destroyed. Looks great but sounds terrible. More like a 6 than a V8.
This is his second car ,I believe.
Dodge sounded better.....😮
I owned a 78. That thing is possesed
