I like my T/A concept more. Mostly because I put more effort into it to make it different. Wheels are a little bleeeeh, though. I rushed on those:

This one looks like it started life as a vette. Cool, but IMHO, I like the other one better....but, none of them when I compare it to the Camaro. Nothing compares.

Interesting...looks like a combination of 3rd and 4th gen.

Haha, I'll take that as a compliment, especially considering F-Body's from the second-gen up almost always took some very subtle styling cues from the 'Vette. Thanks for the input, though. It's actually edited off the Camaro concept... just a lot more. What I took from the Vette, admittedly, was the curved rocker. I just thought a straight rocker wouldn't work for it, it made it look too big.

It's obviously based off of the 77's-78's of the second-gen, and I really tried to emphasize it through the spoiler. If there is one piece of automotive aerodynamics that I think was the most tasteful, swoopy, FUNCTIONAL, and all-out awesome-looking ever made, it was the Firebird spoiler of the second-gen cars. That spoiler ALONE is what made me love them so much, especially in rear 1/4 view. So I made sure to emphasize that... so much to the point where it wouldn't be legal, I mean look how high I made it. xD

Not bad, the tail in the rear is a bit too large but if someone made a kit to change the look I bet it would sell pretty good.

I'd rather have one of those Firebirds than the Camaro -the ones that are Camaro clones that is (no offense nUc). But I've always preferred the little bit of extra styling that Pontiacs have had, in addition to their more interesting interiors. I find it amusing that people are complaining that it is a copy of the Camaro, when that is what every other Firebird in history was. It would be strange if it looked radically different from the Camaro.

Oh, and that music is awesome
