Re: The New Trans Am?

uh, it won't happen... Pontiac is getting phased out... Its just a rebadged new camaro basically anyway.

And just someone's wishful thinking at that

Edit: saw that it is ASC and not an actual concept. I was too lazy to really read this morning...

That's pretty neat. I also thought the Camaro looked neat in pictures. I'm not too impressed with it in person.

Ditto, and it's 500 lbs. heavier than the 2010 Mustang.

True but it also has 100hp more in the V-8. The V-6 has nearly the same HP as the GT Mustang.

I like the Camaro, but I really like that Trans Am. Shame it won't ever happen. I would actually buy one. I've debated getting a Camaro, but I want to pay off a few bills first. If that thing came out I'd say screw the bills. Lol

Re: The New Trans Am?

I am not too impressed with the camaro even though it looked better in pictures. Saw it around here, thought it would be "wider".

If the TransAm share the same width as the camaro (same chassis?), then I am also not too impressed anymore.

Re: The New Trans Am?

Basically that is a customization that can be done if you have enough money where they change all the body panels...

Its a shop that specializes in things like this so basically, yyou buy a new camaro, take it to them, give them lots of $$$ and then viola, you now have a "trans am"

Re: The New Trans Am?

Anyone can restyle a Camaro into a T/A. Heck even I got into the act, in 1/25 scale.




It's sad that GM is killing Pontiac and keeping Buick. Of course the only reason the're keeping Buick is China. Seems the Chinese can't get enough of them
