The Pontiac Trans Am was introduced into the market as part of Firebird. The Firebird Trans Am was then known as an upscale variety of the Firebird, featuring upgraded engine horsepower, handling, and suspension. Minor aesthetic differences such as redesigned hood and wheels also set the Trans Am apart from the rest of the Firebird models. As the name Trans Am was already a registered trademark, GM had to pay the Sports Car Club of America $5 for every Trans Am car sold. From being an independent brand in 1969 up to the brand’s end in 2002, four generations of Trans Ams were produced. The platform that the Trans Am was built on was the F-body platform, which is the same platform as that of the Chevrolet Camaro’s.
Along with the Firebird, the nameplate of the Trans Am was retired in 2002. Its body, though, still saw action in the IROC Racing Series until 2006, when the series closed.
