Most people know that. It's just a movie. Similar to how '69 Dodge Chargers cant fly through the air and land without getting destroyed.
Besides, those Trans-Ams were quick for their era and the ones used in the film were most likely modified to perform better (step one: remove the restrictive '70s era smogged up factory exhaust)

Yes, it was a plot hole

I don't know anything about Trans Ams but if you are right, then you found a plot hole

The film kind of lost me when they jumped the creek. This wasn't exactly a kids movie.
