"The Banshee" Camaro
Banshee is a collaboration of Hermance Design and Restore a Muscle Car, the same Trans Am aficionados that organize the annual Bandit Run.
Based on the new Camaro, this Firebird conversion package is intended to fill the void left by the demise of Pontiac. It’s the marriage of truly innovative design and the experience of dedicated Pontiac experts that distinguishes this package from the rest of the crowd. We’re creating a high performance car that unmistakably pays homage to the Firebird’s heritage while focusing on what a real evolution in styling could have been. We have a unique opportunity to shed many of the corporate restraints that plagued muscle cars for decades in order to produce something enthusiasts actually want. This is the car based on years of hearing “What if…” from enthusiasts and designers alike. We listened. Aside from the obvious styling considerations, we’re currently working with a number of vendors to determine the final list of performance, convenience and comfort options that will optimize the platform at a competitive price. The upgrades will be significant and well planned. Don’t believe for a second it’s going to be yet another rebadged 2010 Camaro with big spoilers and split grill. http://www.restoreamusclecar.com/new...ticle_id=29382 This seems pretty darn old as its dated back in July, but wow. But this version of the Firebird Conversion left me stunned. |

I like it, but I agree with WiccaJew. Of course I agree because I wouldn't buy anything more than a Camaro or Corvette if I was full of money. It looks awesome though!

Looks ok... much better than any other concept or SEMA car posted here on the site. But still not right. It's just missing something and I can't place what it is. Never the less, a decent car that I imagine took a lot of effort to create. Maybe I'm just not big into Firebirds?

The more I look at it actually the more I like it. The ONLY thing that would stop me from buying it (aside from money of course) is the nose. I'm not sure I like how far forward it protrudes. If that was a little stubbier it's golden in my eyes.
I know the T/A's and Firebirds are traditionally more outlandish in their styling, but for some reason that just doesn't quite sit right with me. awesome car though.
