October, 1978. 14 year old me in the passenger side of my dad's brand new '78 Trans Am. I was a pretty awkward kid, but this is the car I learned to drive with._Whiskey_1_ t1_iqnsx1w wrote
I spent many a day and night driving around in the late 70’s / early 80’s in a friends’ TA.
Stick or automatic?

Automatic. It was way too much car for me when I got my license a couple years later. I got a ticket for going 77 mph in a 45 zone at age 16.

Shaker says TA 6.6 ?
I remember those.

GM 400 cu motor. You could only get the "TA 6.6" until 12/31/79, as EPA outlawed the motor after that date.

I had a friend who had a T/A with the Olds 403.

I thought the shaker callout was 6.6 LITRE on automatic cars. Not doubting, just raised my eyebrows a tad

Gotta see what she can do at that age even though we don’t know what we’re doing other than playing with new and cool found power. Great pic and no doubt good memories for you.
