I highly doubt that.

And it will still be a Camaro with an ugly make-up. :nod:

According to my August 2009 High Performance Pontiac.............page 44.........

Question: How about the drivetrain? ...........does it share the same engines and transmissions as the Camaro?

Answer: .............Peter DeLorenzo suggested in his website (http://www.autoextremist.com/current...extremist.html) that the new turbo diesel engine that GM has in the works would be a great application. They also mentioned a turbo V6, but I was OK with that. Seems the mid 1980's Buick Grand National did pretty good with a turbo V6.

Turbo diesel in a Trans Am? No f'n way, no f'n how would I ever own one! This is blasphemy to an old timer and old schooler like me. Even if it costs 30,000 and turned bone stock mid 12's, I would still never own a muscle car with any sort of diesel.

Front sucks. Thinking 1974 GTO or 1975 Ventura. Looks better from the back side.

ew... no... too damn big from the front. needs to be remodeled from the front. just doesnt look like a firebird...

the back end though i think looks good.

It will have its own deal on everything. They will be sold at pontiac dealers, if there any left by 2011. The details are still on the darwing board. I just hope they offer more than that color set up. It could be worst.....they could be pushing ANOTHER!! DAM!! BANDIT!! CAR!!

How would they do that since GM Announced Pontiac is no more after 2010?

so it would kinda be like how Saleen sells modified mustangs as a 'Saleen S281'? So I wonder if it would be an ASC Trans Am, or could they actually call it a pontiac.

and for all the people that are saying 'its just a camaro with a body kit'... well, duh!!! the 3rd & 4th gen f-bodies shared the same chassis and mechanicals, just different body and slight interior variations. 1st and 2nd gen had differering engines, but the chassis were the same.

But just like all cars some people are really going to like them and want to be one of the few to have them, because i do not see this car being mass produced, so the coin that the company ask for will probably be given and they will sell the units they make. Because I bet that some of you saw the pic of it and said that its nice looking then when yall saw everyone elses opinions yall jumped on the bandwagon,lol. I would consider purchasing it if they cleaned up that front end.

badinfluencelsx 05-19-2009 06:58 PM

it might look better in person, pics dont to alot of cars justice. then again pics can be deceiving. who knows till we see it. it might show itself in transformers 2.25

Bring back the flip up headlights!

LS1nterceptor 07-29-2009 02:04 AM

I think it would look okay if they got rid of the trim around the front headlights and grill. It looks like it's wearing mascara and lipstick.
