What year is this car?

Hi, Trying to confirm the year, make, model and color of this photo. I am saying a 1982 red Pontiac Trans Am It is part of an online contest my wife is trying to win. Any help would be appreciated.

Considering it's a turbo t/a, it would be an 80 or 81 (2nd gen), I'd think.

edit: Carousel Red (1980) and Bright Red (1981) were the two bright reds of the Pontiac colors back then.

I can't see the pic at work... but if it's a 80 or 81 this isn't Thirdgen related.
