Here's what I saw.... a nice Pontiac GTO, followed by a smoke show the was just an intro to the Smokey and the Bandit Firebird TRANS AM. Although the word Trans seems to have gained secondary connotation since 1977.
In Alberta cars have the right to identify as 'trans' and be 'modified' only they are over 16 years old....

Ever seen one of these ?
The image features the 1957 Chevrolet Corvette SS experimental race car.
It was developed under the internal code "Project XP-64".
The car used a lightweight chrome-moly tube frame and magnesium body panels.
It was powered by a 283 cubic inch V8 engine with fuel injection, producing around 307 bhp.
The car was intended for international racing but the program was cancelled shortly after its debut.
It holds the record for the most expensive Corvette ever sold at auction, fetching $7.7 in 2025 .
