[QUOTE=Phantom.5SS;3255627]They sure make some nice stuff there.... I did a poll about a year ago and asked if :
"Pontiac were still building birds would you have bought it over the camaro?" and the answer was surprising...89.4% said BIRD!!
I have owned a Trans/ Am or Formula or some type of F-Bird since I was 16 and I am 44 now..2010 saw me sell the 2002 for the Camaro and this is the only void in my life without one. Although my son has a 79 T/A so I guess I can live vicariously thru him!.

CAMARO was the flagship. Firebird had the style. That slip grille has always been iconic. SO sad an aftermarket partner has to take up the banner. I ALWAYS thought FB had style marks over Camaro, all else being equal.
But no, Frank, you cannot have one. Not unless you assign your annuity to me for security. Then, HELL YEAH! I'd ride that b!^##!

That being said: F^@K HEMMINGS..In the old days it was a good company with people who cared about cars. But now nothing more than corporate scum looking to make money off the hard work and efforts of the car community...They used me and my Black and White as a feature article in their "MUSCLE MACHINES" magazine about "Muscle"cars, invited me every year to "MUSCLEPALOOZA", they even gave me a "BEST MUSCLE MOPAR" award and asked me to make a run down the track for a photo op..(And I will include the video!!)....THEN LAST YEAR (after they invited me), and I drove 1.5 hours ONE WAY on at the time $4.00 gallon gas and $8.0 gallon race fuel mix....they told me I couldnt come in because .....you guessed it..I DONT HAVE A MUSCLE CAR??? WTF??? Your telling me I blew $100 on gas and wasted an entire day away from another show and that I cant go in and spend a day with my friends because of what I am driveing...which by the way YOU YOURSELF CALL A "Muscle Car" ..
I tried to open a dialog with the idiot at the gate who I found later was the EDITOR but all he could do was walk around like a Zombie and say "It aint a muscle car". Well YOU agreed it was when you wrote the article to make money off me and it was built specifically to pursue and detain muscle cars...
I found out later they wanted to fill a void in their readers so they did a series on cop cars...they used all of us to make money then crapped on us when they were thru...yeah way to go HEMMINGS....Some body get me that "Little Old Lady from Passadena with the finger" smiley!!

90% of what I do with the Black and White is for charity, I dont hunt trophies and could care less about why one car got awards and another didnt. I DO get bent when a person pours a ton of money and time into a car and doesnt get a fair shake because of some idiot judge who doesnt know what hes looking at or a corporate sleaze out to make money off of my time and my dime!!

Thank goodness for THIS group its all about the FUN!

BTW< I wont be going Will so take some pics for me eyh?, Thanks Man!

I'll take pics(maybe a vid too).
I don't care if Hemmings name is attached or Bo's Bait Shop. I go to race.
Like you said it used to mean somthing. I can understand your feelings, no fun being used.
Stay cool !!

Sounds like you all had fun @ the glen! Great pics and Video! (Spike emailed me about two dozen pics.....looked like an AWESOME trip!)

I was working back to back 14 hour shifts with no hope of escape that weekend :( Got to work to pay to play I guess!

Here is the series website:
http://www.grand-am.com/

Below is the list of events for the weekend. I am looking to go on
Saturday for the Rolex event and arriving around 10:00. We can discuss where to meet if we get enough people to go, probably somewhere in town. The race starts at 1:00PM
