carfan ◊ 2006-07-30 03:35	The way the Bandit drives, He should meet Bo and Luke Duke. and Buford T. Justice and his son should meet Rosco P. Coltrane and Enos strait.

Jake ◊ 2007-09-12 04:53	THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST CAR MOVIE EVER MADE! My wife and I just recently got married on the 30th anniversary release date of this movie.

Pibwl ◊ 2008-12-29 22:17	aka "Mistrz kierownicy ucieka" in Poland (the title chosen is so stupid, that I'm not going to translate ;-)
Weasel1984 ◊ 2008-12-29 22:39	"The master of the steering wheel is escaping"! Too literally? Już o tym pisałem gdzieś tutaj, że Robocopa chcieli u nas nazwać "Policyjnym gliniarzem" - jak widzisz mogło być gorzej. -- Last edit: 2008-12-29 22:44:18
Animatronixx ◊ 2008-12-29 22:46	I got the impression the German title "Ein ausgekochtes Schlitzohr" (A crafty chiseler) is even worse...
TheBandit77TransAm ◊ 2009-03-20 12:57	Silverstone wrote Top speed of about 130mph, 0-60 in about 5.5 hey Silverstone actually it reaches 145 mph top speed does about 0-60 in actually 4.5 seconds.
1rednek ◊ 2009-04-10 11:15	what was the real top speed of the snowmans truck oops sorry my bad tractor trailer in the movie ????????????

As I recall with mine there was a bit of a knack required to get it off the line quickly.Tried flooring it from a standing start once and it just sat there spinning the back wheels & making smoke!.Came in handy when I was being harassed by some kid in a Ford Fiesta 1.8 turbo though (kids car shows how long ago this was!).Two lanes and four sets of traffic lights in a row in town & we're side by side.1st set of lights go green & all you could hear was his engine revving & his pissy little front tyres squeeling.I ignored it & rolled up to the next set of lights.2nd set go green,same again,once again I ignore it.3rd set of lights & I floor it with the result of very little forward motion,plenty of smoke & even more noise.At the 4th set strangely enough He pulled away very slowly.Bit silly really biting like that but I was 21 with a 6.6 litre trans am & it was fun humiliating His pissy little car!. I eventually found that it shifted best if You let it start to roll then steadily floored it (And Boy could it shift!)
tv boy ◊ 2009-04-22 00:17	Said to be one of Alfred Hitchcock's favorite films to personally watch, believe it or not...it supposedly made him laugh out loud.

gk ◊ 2009-12-27 22:58	hey thebandit77transam,i dont know where you got your figures for the 0-60 times but you better double them,the car only had 180 HP back then,try around 8.5 seconds,my 76 LE 455 4 speed was 6.2 seconds at the track,that was with a motor with more HP.i also found some other info on a web sight about the cars in the movie,this is copied and pasted ...........However, production delays resulted in the movie being shot with a '77 model - and by then, major changes had taken place. The 455 was gone, replaced by a new "T/A 6.6-liter" 400 that offered about the same horsepower but nowhere near the street cred of the big bruiser. (Many scenes in the movie were done with a 455-equipped car that had been modified to "bark the tires" on a hard one-two upshift in a way the standard car just couldn't manage.) The '77s also marked the debut of a significant body restyle that included a new quad-headlight front end, flat hood, and smaller, less belligerent-looking hood scoop. ...............if you want to see it yourself go google "60'times '76 trans am".the article was from businessweek

I remeber it being able to hit 145 though. Either way, if its a Trans Am (in my opinion), its cool. Plus, its a V8, and V8's ROCK.
TheBandit77TransAm ◊ 2010-04-01 02:35	gk wrote hey thebandit77transam, umm, i replied to someone else saying the same thing. I said my bad, i said 4.5 seconds, it's really 5 seconds i was off a bit. but i do remember it being able to hit 145, not 130. I love the Trans Am, its my favorite car... god bless Smokey and the Bandit.
TheBandit77TransAm ◊ 2010-04-01 02:38	Also, theres supposed to be a Volkswagen Beetle in here. You can clearly see it on the highway "East Bound and Down" chase scene.
Stampede1975 ◊ 2011-01-27 06:14	In the scene just right before that one cop tells Buford that he can't drive that POS on the highway you see a 1975-77 Ford LTD getting towed, also during that scene you see a 1974-77 Ford Mustang II turning in the background
Benfolio ◊ 2011-03-15 04:22	I just got the Special Edition of this movie, remastered with 5.1 surround, The Making Of, etc..... I might replace some of the old grainy pics with better ones if requested, and add some new ones if I find any.
mnstrmn1 ◊ 2011-09-04 07:49	to Trucker: the trans am wasnt that fast even though it had the 6.6L/405ci big block v8 it only had about 225 hp from the factory, but it sounds amazing
GTO 990 ◊ 2012-04-21 00:55	1rednek wrote what was the real top speed of the snowmans truck oops sorry my bad tractor trailer in the movie ???????????? about 85MPH that's all trucks really did back then, it was said in the movie that one of them, I believe the '73, would do 96MPH, not sure if the truck would really do it or they did some messing around to make it look like it would do 96MPH
gnair227 ◊ 2013-07-28 01:55	What about the 73' Dodge Polara, Georgia State Police?

Ddey65 ◊ 2018-09-07 04:44	Today I went to a local weekly car show hoping somebody there had a black 1977 or 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. I know of some people there who had one or two. The closest thing I saw to it was a rare 1980 Trans Am Fire Am.

JE77 ◊ 2021-05-30 00:29	They was an white AMC Matador sedan (1974-1977), in the background, right after the Lemans' roof came off. It was park on the side of the road, near the trees. I known it's to far off, but I just to point it out, and maybe somebody posted an pic of it? maybe an close-up of it? -- Last edit: 2021-06-02 09:27:58
