    Can't get over it's resemblance to this.

    Ok... Give me the front clip from the Pheonix T/A and the rear clip from this one, and you've got a pretty decent screamin' chicken. #pontiactransam

    Kevin Morgans Phoenix TA looks a lot better in my opinion. The front of his is based off of the 77/78 #pontiactransam

    It looks like it gained a few pounds since highschool but is still convinced it looks good in it's acid wash jean jacket with the ACDC patches. #pontiactransam

    It looks like a TransAm. That's more than one can say for the GTO, which was a Generic Appliancemobile along with all those goofy-named G-series cars that took a program to sort out the players. You drive this car and no one has to guess what the heck it is!

    I say fire up the production lines. #pontiactransam

    OK, I dont' get it. That's two Firebird facelifts that put a '70 nose (2nd Gen) on a car modeled after a '69 (1st Gen) Camaro. Now, the '69 'bird was heinous, but a '67-68 style nose on that car would be fabulous. #pontiactransam

    While I generally like today's retro-look muscle cars, that one fails big. I actually liked the last generation of Trans Am better. #pontiactransam

    The back end is easy to get right. All it takes is diet and exercise. The front, well, that's all genetics. #pontiactransam

    While we're on the topic of auto-anachronism, when will we finally see a Riley Elf version of the new MINI?

    "Sadly, the arrowhead-branded Pontiac Trans Am dead with the arrowheaded brand"

    That should be "are dead." #pontiactransam

    Bring out the horseshoes, hand grenades, and the girl next door.

    This is yet another "almost" to add to their ranks. This time, it's Trans Am with British twist: it looks like it just ate a lime.

    The grille itself is okay, but the headlights are way too small in proportion, and are way too deeply inset. And those taillights...right shape, but about two sizes too big.

    Thanks for trying, Lingenfelter; it is appreciated. But don't go ask out the girl next door quite yet. #pontiactransam

    @pauljones: I think it would look real cool if the headlights were proportional.

    I'm more interested in the 455 under hood. Is it based on a LS7 block, or some other LS stroked or what? That's pushing the boundaries of displacement I've heard of in a small block I think. #pontiactransam

    @pauljones:

    Haven't heard of them, but I'm assuming they're huge small blocks. I'll check them out.

    What I'd really like to see is someone drop a big block in there. These cars seem big enough, and already weigh a ton so why not just go all out. I have a 496 in an 01 2500 crew cab, and it moves it pretty darn well. Couldn't imagine the joys of a performance big block in a (relatively) tiny car. #pontiactransam
