1985: Trans Am Grim Sleeper

Unveiling the Banks Trans Am Monster: A Street-Legal 1,100 HP Beast

Gearheads, rejoice! Banks Power didn’t just build a fast car, they built a legend. This unsuspecting 1983 Pontiac Trans Am packs a twin-turbocharged, 1,100 horsepower punch, capable of exceeding 250 mph. But hold on, this isn’t just a straight-line monster. Banks meticulously crafted a wolf in sheep’s clothing, ensuring the car handles, brakes, and accelerates with the same ferocity it delivers power.

This street-legal beast dominated the South African National Speed Trials, clocking a record-breaking 240+ mph at 6,000 feet of altitude. And the best part? This Trans Am Monster still roams the streets, a testament to Banks’ unparalleled engineering expertise.
