Really? I think it looks good. I like the tail.

The rear end looks better than the Camaro.

I like the front of it, the back is okay, the side is too Mustang for me. I'd like to see actual real life pictures of it. I'm not gonna lie though Brian, I would drive the **** out of it. Maybe I just have a soft spot for something that says Trans Am and has the possibility of seeing the light of day.

What design school are you in? IM a student at the academy of art university of san francisco, im enrolled in industrial design with a focus on transportation. I like all the technical terms you used, especially for a design student.

So i assume you did your avatar? Im curious about your headlight intake, any info pics or links about it?

Just read the august isuse of High Performace Pontiac mag. with the hole story. On American Specialty Cars (ASC). For the frist time in decades I have hope. Not too sure on the color, but love the starting point. AND!!! the bandit is way over played. It had it's part in the new F & F movie. Now take a bow and let (hopefully) the NEW BRID RISE!!! If you want her build let Steve Nowicki know. At steve.nowicki@ascglobal.com or call 586 446 4707. This information is posted in the HPP mag.

Even GM at it's very worst would be very hard pressed to create a car that ugly.

thats really funny I almost went there for school Im actually In my second year of the masters program for architecture at NDSU fargo i cant say that i never regret picking architecture over industrial design... architecture is so static it drives me crazy sometimes
