“The Turbo Trans-Am was a particular challenge in second “Smokey” film”

The Turbo Trans Am was junk. From what I’ve heard, since it didn’t have a boost gauge you didn’t know you were on the boost until you heard the engine pinging.

Whattaya mean, "no boost gauge"? It had those three little lights on the rear-facing surface of the hood bulge. ;-)

Turbo engine management made a huge leap between that point and the mid-80s, when Buick brought out the T-type and Grand National Regals.
