I'd rather watch part 3 than 2 because, like you said, 2 was boring and all talk with little action. Plus that crazy demoltion derby at the end was so over the top and stupid. At least 3 has tons of chases and more good stupid lines from Junior.
The 1980 Turbo T/A he had looked cool, but in reality was an overweight slug. All looks and no-go,ironically just like the film.

I liked part 3 but the thing that sorta made me upset was that supposedly, he brings trigger out of mothballs so to speak, but it was obviously not the same car, and that sorta didnt make any sense cause buford recognized the bandit by his car. I mean the original car was the essence of Smokey and The Bandit. if part 1 had been made with some other car it would have not been the same. that car represented an era in itself, bot to mention that the car in part 3 remind me of Knightrider lol.

it's just part of SATB tradition that whatever year TA is current with the year of the movie, that's what they use. I guess the real Bandit felt the need to keep up with the times and get a new one every so often. Besides, it's mentioned in SATB 2 that the Bandit traded his first TA for a six pack of beer.
I kinda liked the use of the then "new" style Trans Ams. They were easier to throw around and do stunts with than the older heavier ones.
