1980 and 1981 turbo trans am were not fast, but it the best car to have back then. They cut down performance because of government laws about economy and emissions, so Pontiac put turbo in there trans ams to have some performance. And this car did not go 139 mph it went at least between 116-120 mph more or less.

By today's standards, most family sedans with v6 are faster....my 2021 Rav4 Hybrid does 0-60 nearly 1.5 seconds faster...

It was in 1980, these days they probably could get 500 H.P.
