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
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.

That's right. I couldn't remember the maker of it. I have the magazine back in my room. It was an interesting retro though.

The Firebird Formula wasn't an option until the 1970 1/2 Firebird was introduced. First Generation was 67-69. Second Generation 70 1/2-81. Pontiac did produce a 1st Gen Firebird Trans Am (1969), but never a 1st Gen Firebird Formula.
Regarding the 5th Gen Firebird Trans Am...
The two versions in March's Hot Rod are amazing. Both are above and beyond what GM did for styling on the new Camaro. The best example being the blue interior of the Lingenfelter version. Just wicked.
Not to say there aren't things I would change. (The taillights of the Trans Am Depot's version are not at all what I'd have chosen.) But thats the truth with the styling of any car.
I can't wait to see the aftermarket's first attempt at a 5th Gen Firebird Formula...
...then again I'm a bit partial.
