Phoenix T/A - New Trans Am concept based on 2010 Camaro - Page 7 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

In a few years, assuming things go well, there will be (hopefully) an awful lot of Camaros out there - and why not have something like this? It does nothing for me but it's not a huge leap from what a real Pontiac could turn out to be - we all know it'd be the same car underneath!

That looks absolutely terrible. Not only would that kill the transam for me, it almost kills the design of the camaro if I have to see that damn thing driving around. I understand its a concept..but Come on at least put some effort into changing the grill more than just tweaking it slightly. There was more variation in the 2008 to 2009 mustang...that is the exact same grill, head lamps, fog lamps..just with a stupid a-- "beak". And yes, i complete get that it is a camaro base for some to show a rendition of the "transam" but it is almost as stupid as the Japanese driving around in a toyota prius with bumble bee paint scheme.

1.) it isnt a real trans am
2.) why are you taking valuable camaros and doing these idiotic things to them when there are devoted fans waiting to have an authentic muscle car (not some cheap rip off)
just becuase you make it look like a trans am (or what you think a trans am would look like in this generation) doesnt mean it will be a trans am. at the end of the day it is and always will be a 2010 camaro.
idk. maybe im the only one that thinks its better to leave the camaro original instead of doing some crazy project on it.

A project is one thing, and do what you will. I'm all for customization. This looks like arts and crafts time...

Did you use photoshop to illustrate how the car might look midway? I see some bondo and tape PSd in, and even a roll of tape in one shot

I think it looks alright. I never liked firebirds as much as camaros, but it's pretty nice, looks VERY retro. I liked the T-Top photoshops I saw on jalopnik, can't go wrong with T-Tops. It's not for me, I'd never spend that kind of money on a body kit, but it is very unique and I applaud them for trying to keep the Trans Am nameplate alive.

the taillights are nice but the front doesnt really do much for me..

That is pics of the build, and that is how it is done.

I agree, the ASC version is tight. An old school touch on something new should still be primarily new.
