Hey guys would you mine whipin down the highway in these birds ?

 

ill definetly take one of those!

 

The first one is just a distorted 4th Gen. Wider is better, and that one thing is good, but it's too slammed, too distorted, has exposed lights, and a hood from a grand am, the separation of the holes doesn't look right.

The second one is better, except for the camaro mouth on the the front. Firebirds (and Trans Ams) are sleek, aerodynamic, and aggressive. The only holes on the front of the car are for air intakes or heat extraction. This has been the case since about '77 or so (IIRC). And the only reason it didn't start sooner was technology and standard design practices. A closed nose (bottom breather for radiator), and hidden lights are both Firebird and Trans Am design hallmarks (the former lasting about 25 years and the latter about 20 years, practically half of their existence), they can not be shrugged off.

If that second pic was larger, and had a more 3rd Gen nose to it it would work better and look more like a Firebird (crossed with an XJ220, but still.....).

I'd agree the first one sucks. It's a hacked up Formula

 

No thanks

 

i like the second one id drive that, tho i still think the 4th genners look meaner

 

I hope the person doing the photochop didn't spend more than an hour on 'em...

 

I would rather eat **** than drive either one of em honestly

 

Well i guess we all know what kinda taste you have in cars LOL



TIME TO EAT UP **** EATER !

 

Good god those are ugly. A hacked up formula or a new-era eclipse? I'll drive my 'old' hawk thank you.

 

I seriously doubt the next gen f-body would look better than the 4th gen f-bodies........at least not the T/A's

 

They look to much like a jaguar xj220 or something. Not mean and aggressive enough
4th gen

 

the first is just too "hacked together"
and
the second one doesn't have enough Firebird heritage in it.

I liked the one-off 03 Heritage Trans Am. The White one with Blue interior and shaker hood. That was sweet looking.

 

It would have to have at least an LS7 under the hood

 

Ya, I would have to agree. They do not look really good. Hopefully there will be/are better concepts than that coming out. We really need something to blow the Ford's away!!

 

I won't be quite so harsh - yes the first is just a distorted and slammed 4th Gen Formula which doesn't work too well to start up the 5th Gen. But the 2nd isn't really all that bad except for the grill opening - it definitely needs to be a bottom feeder as mentioned above. And the proportions suggest it might be even heavier than 4th Gens which would be a definite No-No!

Oh, but thanks for giving us something new to look at since GM doesn't care to...

 

Must have one. In Aramanth Metallic (first 2 pics) too. Super sleek, downright awesome looking, incredibly fast, and tons and tons of lateral grip. Definitely one of my dream cars.

But it would seem difficult to make one look like a Firebird, or Trans Am though.

 

i got excited when i read the post because i knew about the camaro concepts but not the firebird. then i saw the pis and was a bit dissapointed. 4th gen rocks and i dont think any car looks as bad *** as the 4th gen ws6.

 

yeah, the post caught my attention, but seeing those pics i was horrified

 

I really hope they don't try to bring the Trans Am back because there is no way they could possibly bring it back without screwing it up!! I would hate to see them ruin the heritage they have created with something like that. A Camaro I think they could pull off but a Trans Am to me has a whole different kind of heritage to it.

Those were both ugly as hell and I hope GM doesnt think about it for more than a couple seconds. I mean look at the GTO , they screwed that up REAL good
