Its my favorite out of all the TA conversions/concepts. I just saw one of these this morning watching HotRod TV on Spike channel. It had white seats that I like better than the blue in the car posted. It looks better than the new camaro IMO.

I give the rear end and the motor a passing grade. Everything else is a fail! Wheels, interior, front end, etc., FAIL

Best prototype so far. The profile of the Camaro is too high for the traditional TA styling with air dams though. I still can't believe GM will kill Pontiac, there's still a lot of money in the brand.

I personally like the interior, and rear end. The motor is great too, but the non-functional shaker is a disappointment.

I just don't see how companies can't seem to figure out that the 5th gen is based on the 1st gen. Every one i see tries to make it styled after 2nd gen trans am, when it would look cleaner as a 1st gen since the whole body and roof line is built that way. Even though 2nd gen birds were much more popular than 1st gens, I wanna see a 1st gen styled bird.

it is a shame that they are killing pontiac, dont understand it cause all you see around here are g6's and grand prixs.

This concept car has some cool styling, but it doesnt make any real world sense as a production car.

I saw that at Autorama. I think the interior is awsome. They had a black and gold one too with the bird on the hood.

Found it... http://www.streetlegaltv.com/forum/a...rans-5016.html

Wow. Alot of hatin' going on.

I like it. I like all the aftermarket versions of the Firebird/Trans Am that I've seen better than GM's version of the Camaro.

Don't get me wrong. The new Camaro is cool, but there was always something "neat" about what Pontiac did with its F-body. I guess it just appeals to me.

But I would say the real question is, would I give six figures to have one? Not a chance.

Cool car though.

You're right. I guess, "hatin'" was probably too strong of a word to use.

Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

i like most of it, don't like the look of the honeycomb wheels at that size.. and not a fan of the rear taillights, but everythign else.. at least stands out from the camaro, unlike some of the other prototypes.

the fake shaker hood looks great with the CAI right below it. if im going to pay what they want for it, i want what i pay for. that is as bad as the ricers runnign around with autozone stick on hood scoops, when you can clearly see the stupid *** cone filter dragging the ground infront of the front tire.
