Built for just $17K, TreadWear creates an IMSA Camel GT race team that never was. Take one look at TredWear's "Translammed" 1977 Pontiac Trans Am and you'll be smitten. You'll immediately notice the wide look of period-correct IMSA bodywork from the late 1970s/early 1980s and a subtle but obvious reduction in the Trans Am's wheelbase, aided by a slammed stance and an arsenal of aero aids including some crafty and functional turbine wheel covers. Accompanying all these vintage-style mods is a tasty complement of sponsor graphics in the IMSA style that some will no doubt label as kitsch, but it's all in good fun and in the TredWear tradition of pulling at the heartstrings of those who fondly remember the era.

Raised ride height, all-season tires, and - of course - a little extra oomph! Joe went out to the desert to do something we would’ve thought impossible just a few years ago; hoon a rally-spec electric SUV (which also happens to be called a Mustang!) on the dust and dirt, through sand and rock, across the desert floor and over the mountains.
