Nah, I love the white one as it mimics the look of the '70-71 T/A. The Black/Bandit one I believe is the Phoenix creation that was featured in the HPP mag this month. Not a fan of the rear of that car though. Here is a link to some pics of the Phoenix one:

I wish they would have taken more/better pictures of the black T/A. The white ones headlights are too far recessed in my opinion.

I was wondering the same, I thought they were Z-Bodies or something since I believe they're built on the Zeta platform.

they are a bit shorter than the 4th gens. But are just as wide. And only slightly taller. Lowering it helps that. Otherwise they really arent large cars like say a challenger or magnum.
