I like the look of the car, but I bet it is never produced.

by the looks of it,they are producing it. it looks like a custom shop takes a base 2010 camaro and turns it into this. pretty cool.

When they produce one, I'll drive down to Indy and get some pics of it.

^This

On a side note, lose all decals except on shaker and fender emblem, lose pinstripe and spoiler, lose the black plastic crap around the headlights and replace with small honeycomb pattern (for all air dams as well) and this thing will be the best I've seen.

The Camaro they list already has 500 miles on it. What's up with that?

Agreed, and I hope they never make another Firebird in the future, which I think is pretty safe since Pontiac is non-existence anymore.... God forbid they come out with a "Chevrolet Firebird" in the future. If they do there is NO WAY it will look as good as the WS6 LS1. Besides, I've got an '02 and its fun to say "its the last year they made them"

Anyone who says any Firebird resembles a Camaro is just stating the obvious. The Firebird was forced to be designed quickly within the confines of the Camaro design back in '67, and they always followed that trend from that point on since they obviously shared the same platform. If I had to compare, I'd say the 2010 "Firebird" looks more like a Firebird than say the 1967 Firebird did.

Love it, but I think no spoiler would clean it up and make it possible to back out of a parking spot without running someone over!

I'm not sure how many of you have seen this yet. I picked up the latest Hot Rod magazine and saw that this guy Tod Warmack from Trans Am Depot is converting some Camaro's to Trans Am's. GM won't do it but this guy made a pretty nice version of the old Bandit T/A. I'm not too sure how much he'll be selling them for though. But, it's an interesting read if you get the chance.

In case not everyone knows....you can now order one of these cars from GearHead Performance. It is real. It is happening. They sent me pictures of the first production car in progress. Deposit of $2500 and a price of $52,000 for the base car. Optionaly twin turbo LS9. There will be an official unveiling, a bunch of magazing arcticles, and if anyone wants one you can buy the first twin tubro, the actual car that people will be testing. Im making a new post

I saw the first version in person at the 2009 Trans Am Nationals. They hadn't refined the design as much as the one appearing on the cover of Hot Rod, so it still looked a lot like a Camaro. Actually, it's the same one that appears beside the 2010 Camaro in that article. If you notice, even the build photos switch back and forth between the first car and the current one.

In the article they were saying it will still probably be changed even more. It didn't sound like they had actually had the final design ready yet. I just thought it was interesting that an outside organization was building a package for those who love the T/A.

In that magazine they also had another guy....(forget his name)..that was doing a version of the '71 Retro with honeycomb wheels on it. It looked pretty sharp too. I personally wouldn't get one. I'm content with my WS6 and will keep it as long as I can.
