COVER: Pontiac's '80 Turbo Trans Am (Road Test page 80) is backed up by two equally wicked 'Birds of prey: Drag racing Funny Car competitors don't like facing the music of John Collins' Pioneer Stereo-sponsored, 2000-horsepower fiberglass Firebird (more on page 110); but Tommy Jimenez's swift' Bird (at left rear and on page 104) is no slouch either, thanks to Chevy 400 power.
