hey! looky here!!!
« on: May 09, 2011, 09:27:19 PM »
now THIS is what gm should've done! these are some SERIOUSLY good looking  cars.






now, if only there still existed the torque monsters that pontiac used to build. the good thing is one of these comes with an ls7 twin turbo cranking over 1,000hp.

 they're from here.....

I always wondered if they would do the right thing and revive the Trans-Am.   However, GM in their infinite wisdom dropped the ball.

Since Pontiac Brand Died in 2010 that concept car will never have a production version.  Closest you will see will be the Chevy Camaro!

Are these artist's renderings? Because I'm pretty sure you can get body kits that will turn a new Camaro into a Trans Am as depicted above.

I haven't seen a GTO body kit before. Maybe it's new.

edit: Yup. GTO is a new kit.

One of best friends has an 06 Bright Yellow GTO. Got LS1, 5.7 engine, 6 speed manual tranny. Built Down-Under, numbered. Less than 1600 built.
He's added a few things (cold-air intake, custom hood, bigger pipes and the quickest performance boost- Stickies).
It's a screamer. He's gonna add Supercharger. It's a sweet car, never driven in rain, garage kept.
He's one of best launchers I know, killing most competion at the line.
Of course he's had lots of practice. He also has 84 Camaro, was running 10.8.
Now the poor thing sits in driveway, covered, waiting for it's renewed life.

Had an 04 GTO till I hydroplaned on 95 South in Virginia in December.
The best car I ever owned by far, good power, excellent handling, limited slip diff.and relatively cheap.

I wish there was something equivalent here in the states with the around the same price & performance (possible Camaro).
I am not a Ford guy.

The TA kits for 5th Gen camaros ruin the look IMHO.

Just as the 69 kit ruin the look of the 5th Gen.

Meh  :( too heavy. I wanted to love that camaro but it sucks. The top of my head brushes the ceiling,  I find the interiors is ugly, the outside ... Kind of cool, doesn't click with me much. Seen some cool looking ones but none in the streets, usually on mags or Sema. A Firebird would be a bust, I'd still buy a Mustang instead.

Hey Cap1  Not trying to start a long discussion here.  But are you disagreeing
with my statement that.
  1. Pontiac Brand Died in 2010?
  2. That this concept car is the closest you will see to a production car?
  3.  Or that the closest production car you will see will be the Chevy Camaro?
