  • I grew up with in an Asian household here in LA and growing up, my dad had a Trans-am and a Firebird. As much as I love all of the GTR's the Rotary, muscle cars will always have a place in my heart.

  • freakin awsome ! I want it! how much :)

  • They needed to drop the front and remove 6-8 inches below the grill. I think it's far too thick across the front of the car. JMHO.

  • potition the gov...we need pontiac back..

  • Awesomeness !!!!!!!

  • There needs to be a PONTIAC 455 in this thing. Call up Butler performance!

  • plz make more, i love that design so much!! :)

  • Very chunky. but that's a result of the Camaro body

  • Comment removed

  • i feel your pain man i wish i never got rid of my 1970 1/2 trans am!!!

  • Looks ugly, I've seen much better designs than this one

  • Yea very nice desin; although I hate the new camaros mustangs chargers and challengers; they're too big and bulky and so heavy; with rubber cheap plastic components; the originals betters; slim, sleak, lighter, made of metal and wood rather than rubber and plastic; and the handling on these new "recreations" is terrible; the 480HP Audi R8 out lapped the 638HP ZR1 corvette because the (pro) driver couldn't control the ZR1; mustangs/camaros=worse; what good is a car if it can't take a corner.

  • you guys should make an 80s trans am out of a corvette. they have similar shapes

  • 655hp?

  • Comment removed

  • that is a sexy car!

  • TAs are not camaros....

  • The front is cool but the rest needs to be redone

  • i didn't think the Camaro could get any uglier.... I was wrong.

  • My dad has a '67 firebird, its in rough shape but hes planning on restoring it, this car is pretty sweet looks better than the camaro, 655 bhp!!, only thing im not a fan of is the rims. Bring back Pontiac.

  • This looks better than the Camaro

  • I am sure somebody mentioned it here already ... but .... 1971 and 1972 had 455 HO motors ... the 73 and 74 years had the super duty. They should know this.

  • just doesn't look right

  • That's actualy not what I would expect if Pontiac would decide to make the new models of the Firebird and TA. Not a good design. Only Pontiac can design the best of course. So stop making TA out of a Camaro! I don't think any of the TA fans would want to drive a fake designed TA.

  • Absolutely Hot, beautiful job. Definitely make the kit available; the 455 is awesome, but making it with the current 6.2L would be more realistic. Love it! Oh, needs black or blue door handles, and Loose the Awful Camaro steering wheel.

  • Absolutely Hot, beautiful job. Definitely make the kit available; the 455 is awesome, but making it with the current 6.2L would be more realistic. Love it!

  • They should have done the classic gold paint and emblem.

  • My grandparents had a Trans Am, my Aunt had a Trans Am, my dad had 2 Trans Ams and now I have a 89 Trans Am GTA...and coming from of a family of Trans Am owners I have to say this is fucking awesome

  • you guys have to make that car and sell it

  • Wow, that is awesome. I'm just now starting to warm up to American muscle cars, and this is just down right cool. Why didn't they actually pitch this idea before Pontiac was axed. Pontiac got the shit end of the stick. The GTO they came up with via parent GM was a laugh, plenty powerful, but there was no soul of the original GTO in it. It looked modern, and was completely a departure of Pontiac heritage.

  • @redmr2na If you like American Muscle get a real American muscle car. One from the 60's or 70's The ones that weren't the size of my house and shaped like a Brick.

  • @14omega28ok American Muscle cars are like the GTO. Camaro's and Mustangs are Pony Cars.

    Muscle cars are suppose to be large, like sedan sized, and Pony cars are suppose to be smaller sport shaped. So to speak of smaller muscle cars would be an oxy moron.

  • @Sharod101 Camaros and Mustangs are both muscle cars and pony cars... That's a pretty common misconception in fact... The size is NOT the determining factor. Pony car definition: Stylish and sporty styling that included "long hoods, short decks, and open mouths" Assembled from "off-the-shelf" mass production components Affordable base price (under $2,500 — in 1965 dollar value) Wide range of options to individualize each car Youth-oriented marketing and advertising.

  • @xenthar79 Actually, pony car definition: cars built to compete with the Mustang. Being a Mustang is a pony, descended from small Arab and Barb horses. Nothing to do being stylish and sporty. To do with the fact the Mustangs of the 60s were out selling everything. Hence why the Challenger, 'Cuda and Camaro etc appeared. The 'B' body cars were considered to be the real muscle. Charger, Coronet, Roadrunner, GTO etc. I dont think the Mustang was ever referred to as being a muscle car. Officially...

  • @redmr2na Thats because it was designed in Australia...

  • THATS EFFING AWESOME!!!

  • very very nice retro model definitly one of the best i have ever see, but you should try also the '67 firebird body another best ever car

  • very very nice retro model definitly one of the bet i have ever see, but you should try also the 67 firebird body another best ever car

  • ugly

  • I think its a nice car, but I don't think its original enough. I realize its a trans am but they took too much off the original super duty body, and they basically copied the whole camaro body with a few modifications. I still love the car tho

  • That is kick ass !! One of the old school muscle cars have been re-born... Hope that it will be more than just a concept car...

    KuBryze..

  • that is one insanely cool car.

  • beautiful car i wish i could afford one R.I.P. Pontiac

    

  • doesn't look quite right.

  • I would have rather seen a 1978 "Smokey & the Bandit" edition, but this is very nice nonetheless.

  • I'll take one in black please

  • I'd roll it around

  • it looks too fat tho...

  • The car at first looks nice but after awhile it looks too much like a kit car. The tail lights look like they were pasted on. I have no doubt that the car hauls ass, but I would buy a lingy camaro.

  • i'll take two.

  • shoulda did a 69 t/a. it would have been more appropriate

  • NICE BUT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO SUNKEN IN,BRING THEM OUT A LITTLE-THE REST LOOKS GOOD

  • i think if pontiac made the trans am, it wouldA sold more than the camaros and probably saved pontiac

  • It's fkm porn, but it will never happen cause GM is fkn dumb!

  • We need another smokey and the bandit movie with the concept.

  • holy shit this loos badass

  • Looks good..Just have to sharpen the lines or something, looks like the clay model was painted white..the lines are just not crisp enough and makes something look weird! Nonetheless its an awesome design and if more than 1 was made many would be happy =)

  • this is how pontiac can come back

  • i am so jealous. I wish they would just mass produce them under chevy's name since pontiac is gone

  • It looks great, but what's it gonna cost. Looks pricey.

  • Wow! This is amazing. I had a 73 Firebird with a 400 ci Pontiac engine yeeeeears ago and regret not keeping that old bird. It drank fuel like crazy but was a fun machine to cruise in. It would be so cool if some type of "kit" were produced so that a Camaro owner can do a conversion like this.

  • omfg i would straight pipe that bitch!

  • Gen 1 retro body design ( 68-69) Gen 2 stripes (70-72?) SD 455 (73-74) I guess u can do anything you want to them to relive the past.

  • The funny thing is that everybody does gen 2 themes on these TA concepts when it is a retro Gen 1 design.

  • I'm sure the shaker is just for looks unless they designed some way for it to actually feed air to the intake... hopefully it is at least attatched to the motor.. its cool to see it shaking.

  • i haaaate honeycomb wheels with a passion.. otherwise a gorgeous car

  • amazing.. should build this

  • Whoops! I think you mean the 70-72 HO Trans Am! The White / Blue Stripe or Lucerne Blue w/ a White stripe were indeed 70-72 only cars. The Super Duties were not introduced until 73. Beautiful car though! Nicely Done! Would look really nice next to my 72 Lucerne Blue 455 HO! =)

  • i love trans ams......I still own my 85.....I need to rebuild it and one of these days I will......but the new one you have here SUCKS,,,,its no different then the camero, the front is to big....trans ams have always had the thin look at the front, not the bubble look.....i dont care how fast it drives.......it DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A T.A.....get back to the drawing board...or it wont sell

    I Was looking, BUT i WONT BUY THAT...to much GM

  • @tubular619 What do u mean TOO MUCH GM? Pontiac was part of GM wasn't it?

  • i love trans ams......I still own my 85.....I need to rebuild it and one of these days I will......but the new one you have here SUCKS,,,,its no different then the camero, the front is to big....trans ams have always had the thin look at the front, not the bubble look.....i dont care how fast it drives.......it DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A T.A.....get back to the drawing board...or it wont sell

    I Ws looking, BUT i WONT BUY THAT

  • I love the car produce it get a real car back on the roads. I'm sixteen and drive the most bad ass 78 trans am every day to school. It's a love for fire birds keep it alive.

  • love the car i think that u should put it into production. i am talking in behalf of all Pontiac lovers.

  • Nice hub caps.

  • WOW! I want that "Trans Am"!

  • I Went To H/S In A 73 Firebird I Got To See Alot Of Girls Ankles Behind The Ears Type Of Hot Dates.It Is A BITCHMAGNET Of The Highest Order :D

  • that the most sexiest thing i have ever seen in my life

  • I'm a Pontiac Firebird Fan. I wish they had made one last one before they left. Instead they gave the Firehawk name to the G8. Nonetheless, I know what they were "trying" to do, but it looks a bit too "fat" in the face. Can't say I don't like it, but I don't love it. They could have done better.

  • the rims suck! give a little depth in the dish please.

  • I love it!

  • This is absolutely gorgeous. It's beyond me why they didn't just produce these. Am i the only one that thinks something like this may have been able to save the Pontiac franchise?

  • @shaindaman13 i agree if pontiac would have just brought back the trans am and produced it then i guarantee you they would still be around today

  • camero with dual grill! yeaa good enough..

  • Looks great, but should be just a little more different. However, I think its a nice update in comparison to other muscle car updates. I think I would like to see it just a little longer. This body style (based on the newer Camaro) is based on the pre-70 body style Camaro, which the original TA was. But the TA Superduty he is talking about is a different body style, not the Camaro pony style car.

  • The rims look way to big (thick) for the car, maybe the holes in the rim should be bigger, and the car seems squared

  • Would prefer a black and gold paint job, you know a bandit style on this. I like, but the trans am, need to be brought back with its own flair not another camaro look a like even though I do like the camaro, Trans-Am's deserve to be different.

  • how did pontiac go bankrupt.

  • you guys should use 2011 mustang 5.0 as the platform it would handle better and be lighter faster

  • ewww, this is fugly, fugly as shit, can't really compare this to a Trans, Trans's are legends, this is only a POS!

  • i don't like this car, we need a remake of pontiac trans am 1982 !

  • I sure do miss Pontiac, keeping Buick was a pretty lame move unless ur in ur 60's and want to drive a 4 door car

  • There is no 70 ,71 super duty car you idiot !!!!73 and 74 were super duty and 71,72 were h.o

  • I really Want it :O .. is it possible to buy it .. cuz it will be one of a kind in this country everyone has camaro they will be jealous of this one X)

  • If the College Boys that run GM would get their heads out of their asses, ... we could have the TA and the GTO back.

    But they killed off Pontiac to keep BUICK?

    What a bunch of dumbasses.

  • My buddy had the 455 SD white with blue strip back in 1984 in Miami. I had the 81 turbo and that car smoked mine!

    

  • jajajaja que guapo como el antiguo que bonito esta

  • pos, ruined this car, fuckheads

    

  • @thecougar27 YOU are a fuckhead POS. you should stop breathing and die stop wasting space.

  • @Topfueltrooper dont get mad cuz i dont like these pos trans ams that people ruin the best trans am's are the GTA's and the old smokey and the bandit style, this would be a nice car had it not been ruined with the gay ass paint job and ugly ass body kit that matches its retarded looking rims so fuck you baldy YOU need to die and anyone else who would do this to a classic car and mabe there would be more left for people who can atcualy injoy these cars

  • @thecougar27 This isn't a "classic". It's a 2010 Camaro that they customized.  The paint scheme is based on the early Trans Ams (1969-1971), ...... But I agree on the wheels

  • @RTL777 you seem to know a lot about the paint scheme , then you must also know that those honeycomb rimes are as part of this car as the shaker and the stuck on spoiler and ground defects I am desperately looking for some original honeycombs for my 70 firebird gone 73 TransAm sorry my friend the 70 to 73 "pre fed bumpered' Trans-Ams are not complete without those rimes and for us die-hard early T/A guys there is noting worst then the cheesy snow flak wheels and that 77 smokey & Burt:-)

  • @SKUNKworksUSA - - - I agree with you! The CLASSIC TA's SHOULD be completely stock, and the wheels HAVE to be the HoneyCombs for those early years. The snowflakes I think matched those later 70's models, ... but I guess I am still just a fan of those simple 5 spoke late 90's wheels.

  • love this car

  • shouldve went with the snowflake wheels and based it off the 77 model year not 71

  • @eclipse2967

    Nah dude the later cars were too big and heavy give these blokes some serious daps for thinking of this and executing it, I have a T/A hotwheels on my desktop even though I am much more partial to vintage BMWs these days LOL.

  • Rims fucked up the whole design

  • @MyStangGetsAss those rims are about the only thing that pays tribute to the 1973 455 super duty... But! then again you probably have no idea that from 1970 1/2 to 1973 GM made these beautiful fireberds & Camaros before the Federal government slapped big bumpers on them and sucked all the horsepower away

  • @Gaus212 who gives a shit what happened 40 years ago the fact is it looks ugly.

    

  •  call paul 609 922 1576 i have a formula 400 firebird for sale. luzerne blue.

  • wow a modified camaro

  • the wheels are ugly....

  • perhaps the only really new car with a truely classic bosy style is the obsidian mustang. to bad its so expensive...

  • GM whyyyyyyyyyyyyy ='( no more pontiac

  • @MrSmokinhotdude because their lame, just like how the got rid of Oldsmobile imagine a new 442 or a new Buick skylark .

  • ahhh nice car in black loose the rims

  • I'd buy that over the camaro anyday :( I love them both! I drive a Monte Carlo SS but deep down, I'm a die hard Trans Am fan :3

  • Please build this GM, I will buy two. One in white with blue stipes and one blue with white stripes. And maybe a black one Smokey and the bandit with gold firebird. Please build it! Please......

  • @michael1970sherman its alittle to late GM already terminated Pontiac ='(

  • That's one great looking kick but vehicle

  • good but the original kicks ass!!

  • FUCK THAT THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN THE OLD 1, THE LOOKS I MEAN ITS MODERN IF YOU DONT LIKE IT GO DRIVE YOUR DAMN OLD TRANS AM THAT MOST PEOPLE GOT SOUND LIKE SHIT!!!

  • I like the rear end.

  • hell yeah do the trans-am and do a new formula bird too!!

  • I don't know what everyone is yapping about, I quite like it!

  • looks great i'll buy one, love trans-am's

  • Vomit!

  • the fact that its a " Poor Old Nigga Thinks It's A Cadillac" kinda fucked it for me.

  • YUCK!!!!! Makes me sick seriously, that thing is an eye sore!

  • so much better looking than the Camaro

  • What's the purpose of the "Shaker Scoop" on this car? LOL!

  • @Cash2112 esthetics's 

  • @Cash2112 Its a symbolic part of the trans am. I dont think it serves much of a purpose on this one other than than its image. lol

  • @Cash2112 If it's functional on this one ...It allows cool air in as you step on that pedal it opens up getting that force of air from right off that hood and pushes it through the throttle body..It uses an electronic cellunoide or some shit like that ..but that thing really works.

    My pops had a 1976 Tran Am . I wish I had that car now

  • @Cash2112 To shake lol

  • @Cash2112 The purpose of it is to make it look like a Trans Am. Look up a 1974 TA and you will understand.

  • @truckduck13 My question was more functional rather than cosmetic. Obviously it would be very difficult to route cold air from the shaker opening to the throttle body location of an LSX engine.

  • @Cash2112 I see what you are saying and I agree.

  • Too bad they don't know their Pontiac history; the SD did not come out until 1973 and was never in a Trans Am that was white w/ a blue stripe. The 455 H.O. was the powerplant for Trans Am in 1971-72.

    Very cool car though, I would buy it if they would build it.

  • Oh dear.

  • fail. wheres the Phoenix?

  • coulda done a better job

  • HAte to say it but it looks better than the Kevin Morgan design....Awesome car, way retro, but yet very modern....

  • yeah, ask Dub fans to remember how to spell Lingenfelter.....thats funny.

  • mmm dislike 2002 T/A best one!!

  • i think they have a great talent for piking the ugliest rims possible

  • thats based off the 2nd gen model. not the first gen like the camaro...

  • I ment had come earlier

  • I gotta wonder... If the camaro and a new firebird T/A would pontiac have survived?

  • love it so sexy

  • cool 5*

  • Beautiful car ... the front end is very sexy and a nice ode to the old muscle cars

  • type a google search 2012 trans am thats whats up

  • WOW!!! Is that a Camaro!!! LOLZ

  • btw tyhestrokeds...455 is pontiac lol and trans am and camaro have always shared the same body style. so why wouldnt it be made from camaro?

  • absolutely beautiful! maybe pontiac can be resurrected for this car alone...cant tease us like this lol

  • R.I.P John Lingenfelter.

  • How the fuck did Pontiac go out of business?

  • god damn when it comes to cars everybody gets so fucking touchy

  • how much would it cost?

  • There were no '70-'71 Super Duty T/A's.The Super Duty was only in '73 - '74 T/A's.Damn you would think they would know that.

  • this thing is fuckin sweet thats is the best lookin trans am you could possibly make with the new camaro

  • uggggggh gimmie a 81' TA so i can teach you an american lesson

  • LOL come the fk on, is that not intensly NOT aerodynamic, its a fkin air pushing gas hog, make it look more like the TA line and it would have sold a solid 2010 Line, camaro based<TA Based......Camaro=funny car TA=man's car, put that thiing on the strip with a shaved nose and u probably still have nothing.God being a 95' TA owner i HATE the shit they did to end pontiac's run

  • Home run

  • this is what a TA really looks like

  • thats gay make it look like a TA and stop putting 22 on it

  • oooooo bacannn

  • Hideous

  • Should have used that hood scoop as an air intake like the original super duty cars. At the moment it just is a showy piece of plastic on top of the engine.

  • i'm not even that big of a fan of the new Camaro.. but i must admit that i find this T/A rather appealing.. they really hit a homerun here. they managed to stay true to that early-70s feel, while also updating the look beautifully and tastefully. and the specs on that motor! wow! congrats, guys...

  • looks awesome - build it!

  • It looks like shit...

  • I think that Pontiac fans have been tired of getting a corvette engine in a Pontiac for a long time. They should have been a little more specific. But I am glad they are trying to keep it alive!!

  • bonnet needs to be much longer the ratios are all out for a trans am

  • Typical of American cars..

    Based on another car, made with the same crap materials from the 70s, blah blah skip to power output.

    It's not about how big it is, but what you do with it. Something americans will never learn.

  • @philippejuncker hmmm realyy ass wipe an what foreign car driven asshole are you from let me guess bmw ferari lmao a corvette will eat ur foreign loven ass for lunch

  • looks like a bootleg camaro

  • what 86 pontiac station waigon

  • Pontiac had been running Chevy motors since the late 70's so if it has an LS in it fine! Still looks great. Pontiac's never "went" anyway. They were the loosest motors I ever worked on.

  • guys the 70 was a ram air motor, the 71 and 72;s a 455 ho and the super duty was only available in 73 and 74. Be good if you knew the history before making incorrect statements.
