Please tell me I am not the only one that gasped and went,
"Are they trying to ruin the image"

Don't get me wrong, I love everything Pontiac, even in a
weird way the Aztec, but the car is too high, the nose
looks too doubled, just doesn't have that sleek racing look
that the original had. I always preferred the square
lights over the round design as well. I liked the Trans Am
that Stacy had on the TV show gears last year.

This one is supposed to be a throw back to a '72.

Stacey had one that was supposed to be more like my old one (a '77).

I liked it because it's got that neuveau-retro '72 look like the Camaro does
with the 67-69 and the 05-09 Mustang. Someone else did a take on it for
SEMA that just looked like a$$, they split the grill of a Camaro & called her
done.
A lot of attention to detail - and a HIGH admission price, the Dr is right! -
they even used a "vinyl look" for the interior lol
Here's a pic of the '77 one, kinda makes me feel like puttin 'Convoy' on the
iPod and hittin' the road...

More like a throw up.

I don't know what's happened to the stylists at GM. I used to love the look of various Chevy, Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac automobiles over the decades, but now they all suck. That includes the new Camaro. Good gawd, it's fugly.

I appreciate the idea, but as the others pointed out, it sits too high, looks very plastic-y, and, in this one's opinion, needs ram air.
Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

Can't blame them for this creation, when it was done by Hennesey (hennesy, henesy, whoever).

That '77 above is just one of the versions I've seen.  There's a better one floating around that has the proper quad headlights.

The white one at the top is a Lingenfelter - surely one of
the more poetic car marques...

I can see the clubs springing up now

Henessey tend to avoid visual changes, instead focusing on sleeper cars running excessive horsepower counts. This one is done by Lingenfelter, who's responsible for the 900HP Corvette C5 conversions, and they don't mind making subtle body mods. But this... This just didn't pan out properly. Like I said: Right idea, wrong execution.

It completely reminds me of one of the varients of a car called the Pheonix in a video game I've played (Saints Row 2). In fact, with the right front end, side skirt, back end and spoiler selection, it looks IDENTICAL. This is the Pheonix with the "base" body on it, but gives an idea of what I mean.

Gearhead Street '10 T/A - 900HP 2010 Trans Am Announced

Gearhead Street Customs introduces their '10 Trans Am
From the July, 2010 issue of High Performance Pontiac
By Christopher R. Phillip

Gearhead Street Customs has entered the "let's make a Trans Am from a Camaro" arena with its version of the 2010 T/A. According to Gearhead's president Mike Sloan: "Warning-If you're a Biff or Buffy who just loves your Beamer with the Samsonite roof rack, exit now. But if you love Trans Ams, our 2010 T/A has the power you want to perform a very literal reinterpretation of Smokey and the Bandit." All GSE 2010 Trans Ams start with the base-level 426hp Camaro 1SS with a six-speed transmission. For an additional cost, customers may opt for various power adders, including rear-mounted twin turbos, superchargers, or nitrous, all the way up to a twin-turbo 6.2L LS9 with 900-plus horsepower. The turnaround time is 2 to 3 weeks. For more information, visit www.gearhead-pg.com.

Standard features include:

• Trans Am shaker aluminum hoodscoop (non-functional)
• Redesigned urethane front bumper stretched 4 inches
• Redesigned urethane rear bumper with new taillights and exhaust tips
• Rerouted exhaust from rear to side exit
• Rear Trans Am spoiler
• Lowered, adjustable coilover suspension (2 inches, front and rear)
• Trans Am hood and sail panel Bird decal package
• Trans Am body graphics
• 20-inch Snowflake wheels (20x9 front and 20x10-rear) or optional 22-inch custom wheels at no additional charge)
• Pirelli P-Zero tires
• Trans Am fender air extractors
• Interior Trans Am treatments include T/A-embroidered seats with gold accents, door-panel accents, and gauge bezels
• Two-tone leather front and rear seating (choice of color combinations)
• Removal of Camaro rear-quarter chevrons
• Numbered and signed console plaque

Gearhead Performance can supply the donor car or you supply your own. Pricing starts at $20,900 for the conversion, or $52,900 for the car and conversion.

Hm, $53000? I'd take that over a BMW 1-Series or a Benz B-Class.

Supercharged, in black, s'il vous plait.
