Yeah I definately do not like the look of it. And yes, while the LT1 camaros look like some sort of baby catfish, and the LS1 camaros look more grown up, that is definately the mother catfish. But, did you guys notice that the Trans Am body had a hardtop? (No production hardtop TAs, correct?)

wow, so many bad things happening on that car
1) mirror doesnt line up with front 1/4 panel
2) side molding from Ta not removed to match the camaro's clean lines
3) door and 1/4 dont come close to lining up

seems like a neat idea for a track car or something, but definately not done well.

@ the catfish statement

Looks good from the front, but once you see the side it just doesn't line up.

Correct. No hardtop T/A's

I think it's an insult to both models.

Wow, they made 4thgen versions of these?? I've seen the 3rdgen ones and everything pretty much lines up, Camaro/Firebird used the same doors... but it still looked funny.
