Default OK, we've seen the Camaro Concept

Just food for thought. but I would definatly hit it! It would be a hard decision between the two, but d&%^ the Pontiac looks sick in black...

Camaro


Trans Am

Haha that's pretty hot actually. The sloping rear is the best touch. If GM built it, they'd do well to leave off the big flaming chicken, and turn it into a fender badge or something more discreet. I'd also skip any and all hood bulges. I've really tired of those. I'm for finding a more original way to execute functional details like that.

The Trans Am looks better than the Camaro IMO

They say it'll be based on the GTO platform which is great since it's very capable, only problem is that road going cars weigh too damn much. If GM wants to count pennies, light=less brakes=less power=less tire=less sheetmetal=less cost if done right. If they watn to compete against the Stang, they gotta keep it under 3600lbs and price it well under 30K.
As for the transam, I wonder what the WS6 package is gonna look like...

That is hot as hell. And as cheezy as it is, that big gold firechicken decal still makes the car.

I have to admit the new these new cars from GM are looking quite nice. If the production cars look just like what we see now, I would consider one someday. I think these cars and the Challenger look 100x better than the new Mustang as far as retro styling goes.

If GM leaves the firechicken decal on the hood, they will usher in a whole new age of mullet-people!

Nah, I'm kidding. I actually do like the looks of it.

No, I don't have a mullet.

No, I don't listen to RATT. Or Poison. Or Winger.

No, I don't watch NASCAR.

Um, can I put in anymore Firebird Redneck Mullet references in here?
