That thing looks like a camaro with down syndrome. Everything on it is ugly. The wheels, the bird on the hood, the rear, the retarded exhaust tips. Pretty much everything they changed from the stock camaro is just wrong.

I'm not too crazy about it but it doesn't look that bad I wish they would have stuck to the original designs I saw. If anything hopefully it will let people know we don't want the firebird to die.

I was hoping for a better representation.
-It needs the quad headlights! That will fix the front end from looking too Camaro. I understand that one-off headlights aren't that easy to get approved but possibly a shared platform application could be found somewhere.
-The Front Quarter panels look awesome. Love the integration of the inlet on the side. Definitely looks like it belongs there.
-Turn down exhaust is a good retro idea, but doesn't really match the car that well as a whole. Looks out of place. Maybe if the turn downs were rectangular in shape.
-The rear could use some more work, The spoiler just doesn't work. The originals had down sloping rears that when paired with an up sloping spoiler..looked fine. The new Camaro trunk doesn't slope and I think either a smaller lip spoiler would have worked better. The taillights....really? Come on?
Overall, its a good start and I hope they take some of our suggestions into consideration. Would I get one if I had the extra cash?....HELL YEAH I WOULD...BANDIT RIDES AGAIN ****'s!! hahaha

Uhuug , Front end`s no too bad I`d prefer the look of a 70-73 front or a more modern look 98-02 . But that rear end is just UGLY A$$ 
.
what the heck is with that 2ft tall spoiler & curb feeler tail pipes anyways ???
A good attempt but needs a little fine tuning , like the whole car .

I saw it in person as well. I can't for the life of me figure out why they used early 2nd gen tail lights rather than the mid-to-late seventies that the majority of the car is patterned after (minus the first gen Camaro styling).
I overheard someone say that seeing that car unveiling on Saturday was half the reason for going to this year's Trans Am Nationals.......dude, get a life!

I'm absolutely in love with the front of the car. I will admit it looks a ton like the camaro, but the hood works perfect for the bird. I also love how the car front end looks undoubtedly like an actual bird. As for the back of the car... There are many more ways they could have gone with that that would have been MUCHHH better. Its too bad, because that car looks very sweet until lookin at the back part that doesn't flow at all.
