November 11, 200619 yr Lets take a survey for all duke fans and bandit fans. Which car does the best bridge jump The bandit or the General. Lets hear from you.
February 6, 200719 yr Hardly a fair comparison considering Bandit only jumped 1 bridge while the General's jumped a couple dozen.
February 13, 200719 yr Hardly a fair comparison considering Bandit only jumped 1 bridge while the General's jumped a couple dozen.Now wait a minute that bridge wasn't really planned and he did a good job.
April 19, 200719 yr Not only is he a much better jumper but the General also has personality. In addition, he is the most recognized car in the history of the world.
April 20, 200719 yr Not only is he a much better jumper but the General also has personality. In addition, he is the most recognized car in the history of the world.Has anybody forgotting about Herbie?
April 26, 200719 yr Herbie nor the Bandit did better than the General Lee.The General Lee was, still is, and will always be, THE BEST!
April 26, 200719 yr Herbie had a personality he let somebody get but give them a ride of their life to knock their socks.
August 3, 200818 yr Herbie had a personality he let somebody get but give them a ride of their life to knock their socks.Julie why would you bring up Herbie. The question was asked about bandit or general lee. My vote for general lee.
August 4, 200818 yr Julie why would you bring up Herbie. The question was asked about bandit or general lee. My vote for general lee.I'll pick General Lee then.
August 26, 200818 yr i vote for the General all the way!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
April 20, 201115 yr The Generel Lee for sure. The Trans Am was fast and a beautiful car but has no where near the class of the General. Besides, if I am not mistaken, I believe The General has logged 10 to 15 times more air time the the Trans Am has. He does it with more grace and style. I don't recall hearing a Johnny Cash song written about that T/A either.
August 23, 201511 yr The General all the way!! I bet he could outrun The Trans Am too!! Edited August 23, 201511 yr by Hobie Harkins
August 23, 201511 yr I'm more of an american Muscle car fan then an american sports car fan so Charger all the way.
February 4, 201610 yr Well now the Bandit Trans am and other late 2nd gen Firebird/Trans Ams have joined the 1968-70 charger in the unobtainable price range Crazy Money Turning ‘70s Pontiac Trans Ams Into $100,000 Cars With Burt's going for $550,000 Burt Reynolds' Trans Am sells for $550K at Barrett-Jackson
February 17, 201610 yr It amazes me how much money the General or The Bandit pulls down! I mean these were two of my favorite cars/shows, but come on! These two cars were NOT exotic, with specialized engines etc. ( Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc. etc.).....they were just cars with big engines ( muscle cars) that got VERY popular! When you pay that much for one, all you're doing is paying for a specialized paint job!! Take away the show you saw either one of them on and take away the paint job and all you have is a regular car that's very old now and it wouldn't sell for a fraction of the price!! ( The General is my favorite though! :).....wish I had one!!)
January 12, 20179 yr Our local movie theater is going to rerun some of the classics on the big screen. Smokey and the Bandit is one of them....in fact it's the only one I cared about on the list.
January 30, 20179 yr Thats cool! If only they did stuff like that here. I'd go to watch a classic on the big screen! The theaters here some rooms still have reels for the videos.
February 5, 20179 yr At the Erie (Pennsylvania) Auto Show this weekend a Smokey and the Bandit car was the main attraction. It makes me sick that the General has to be in the shadows and shows will no longer have it. At least us Dukes fans have the satisfaction of knowing it is still the most famous car in the world and will be so in our lifetimes.
