    It looks like my black 77 Trans Am mated with my G8 GXP, and I LOVE IT!
    BTW, it's "Field," not "Fields," unless you're talking about more than one Sally Field

    One yes is insufficient. We need a whole lot of yes to lavish upon this car. This boxed set of Yes is a good start...

    Me likey... Really. I think this is the first version of the new-generation Camaro that I've liked much at all. Sure, there was that all black edition I saw at the car show, but this ... THIS ... I wish they'd had this on the showroom floor when I'd bought my '98 Trans Am. (Of course, I wouldn't have been able to afford the price tag.)

    Another thought - T/A Conversion Kit... Sounds to me like a Tits & Ass Converging Kit or T.A.C.K. for short.

    And on one final note, I've seen the comments that this looks way better than the white Lingenfelter one. I think the Lingenfelter version is meant to appeal to the early generation enthusiasts - the same era from whence the Camaro's retro styling was borrowed. Think Kevin Spacey in American Beauty. This version, however, is to all of us who grew up on Smokey and the Bandit. Next up will be the KITT version... #pontiactransam

    "...faster than Sally Field ever could."

    Them's fighting words. Sally's a pretty good-looking grammy.

    The color and lighting combine to make the car pretty hard to see. And the giant screaming chicken makes it hard to look at. The enormous decals are done, let them stay gone. I know I come across as a "things were better back in the day" kind of curmudgeon, but the decal is just goofy. #pontiactransam

    It's even uglier than the illegitimate child of Amy Winehouse and Lyle Lovett. Sure it can sing - hopefully, in the dark where nobody can see it.

    @ArtForge: These folks apparently chose to put "Trans Am" emblems in place of the original "Bruce" ones. You know, details like that get changed between the show premiere and when the car actually sees production. #pontiactransam

    Looking at these pictures makes the front look like the Family truckster. It has one set of lights and a grill above another set of lights and a grill. If the front fascia isn't chunky enough, it has a damn air dam to really chunkify it.

    It's like the ice cream cone cereal. I liked the idea, but the finished product left something to be desired. #pontiactransam
