Doesn't appeal to me but I can see where they'll sell 77 of them for whatever they want to ask for it.

View Quote That is horrendous. It looks like somebody from the Jersey Shore cast designed an aftermarket body kit for the Camaro while they were stoned. Why didn't they use a Gen 6 Camaro? The Gen 6 is much more TA looking without even doing anything to it. |

I want that car. I'd leave east bound and down blaring on the stereo and a trunk full of Coors.

The Year One Trans Ams that he endorsed a few years ago were great cars.
This thing? Nope. Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken. |

I'd take one! I would rather have the Challenger/Cuda conversion though.

That's like painting a brand new Charger in the General Lees paint scheme. Just. Doesn't. Work. View Quote I've seen one of those. Completely retarded. 01 split between the front and rear doors. If mopar makes it someone has painted it like the general lee. I've personally seen a late model Charger, Challenger and a Dakota. Also a jeep. I'm sure there's a fucking Caravan out there somewhere.

It's a restyled camaro Well pontiac doesn't exist anymore, and the trans am was just a camero with different bodywork to begin with, so....... In 1977 the 400 cubic inch T/A 6.6, (RPO code W72) was created to fulfill the vacuum of the lackluster 76 455 HO, with improved flow cyl "6X" casting heads borrowed from the 350 yielding higher compression, specific camshaft and 3.23 gearing it made 200 hp (150 kW). The base 400 engines in 1977-78 produced 180 hp. In 1978 a new dual muffler exhaust was added making 220 hp (160 kW), and provided the Trans AM and Formula Firebird with a breath of new life after some dismal performance years. The 4-speed manual transmission was also available behind the 400 T/A 6.6 and the 301 HO. The 400 T/A 6.6 did not live long however, emission standards and fuel economy restrictions for 1980 model year doomed the powerplant. The 301 Turbo replaced the 400 T/A 6.6 in 1980, disappointing potential customers who were just getting excited about performance returning to Pontiac. The 400 T/A 6.6 Trans AM was the last of the performance cars available with the manual transmission, also yet another disappointment to potential customers. All 400 engines for 1979 were W72 versions and were last produced in 1978, after which time the tooling was dismantled. Some engines in 1979 vehicles may have been cast as early as 1977. W72 versions had chrome valve covers, base 400 versions had painted covers. The hood scoop decal distinguished which version of the engine was in the vehicle. The W72 cars had "T/A 6.6". The 185 hp (138 kW) 403 Oldsmobile powered cars as well as the base 400 cars had "6.6 LITRE" on the scoop. It has often been mistakenly thought that in 1977-79 ONLY the "T/A" prefix on the hoodscoop denoted that it was a Pontiac sourced engine, and those ending in Litre were non-Pontiac sourced Olds 403 were 6.6 litre decals. (Note: In 1980-81, this would change as the 5.0 (305 CID) Chevrolet produced engine was offered and had "5.0 LITRE" on the hood scoop). 1977 was the first year for the litre designation on the scoop, prior to that, it was shown in cubic inches. |

Still won't be able to look out of the windshield. Good job Pontiac.......wait a minute......nice try Camaro.

If it was a brand new model, I would say it was horrible. But considering it solely for what it is, I can appreciate it. |

Ill take 2. The second one should fund my grandchildren's college education. And then some.
And right now I only have one, and she's 4. |

Dupe...Year One already did it.

They did it better because they made it look just like the original car. That's gay, because if you want one that looks just like the original, why not get an original? That attraction of this one is that it's the brand new badass model, styled like the original. You kids don't get it. |

The modern TA made from a modern Camaro body looks more like a vintage TA than a modern Camaro does a vintage Camaro.
It looks pretty freagin nice with the t-tops off. |

I'd rather have an original, don't care how well the new one performs.

I like Burt. Not just anybody got to host for Johnny Carson.

I liked it and I don't care for GM products at all. I know it's done by an independent shop, but it's the freakin Bandit. 840hp and it looks cool. Better than anything Chevy has on the showroom floor.
