Phoenix T/A - New Trans Am concept based on 2010 Camaro

[comiskeybum]

guys you need to calm down and realize one thing. this is a CONVERSION KIT. GM will not be production Trans AMs. You have to first buy a camaro AND THEN convert it with your own money into a trans am.

the only thing that needs to be said is after conversion does the report that goes with you VIN# say camaro? Trans Am? or Camaro/Trans Am?

Also.......i think this will be fairly rare because im willing to bet that just purchasing the kit will cost a good $5k and then you have to have someone install it for you!!

That being said.........if i had the money and a camaro........i would do this just to be different!

I'm glad they are offering something for the trans am fans but to me it is not a true trans am bc its not made by pontiac.

Yes, because we all know Pontiac is alive and well.

The reason the Camaro looks so good is because they took a "classic' theme and created a modern car. I agree with this approach that the "classic" period for the Trans AM was the late 70's (Smokey & the Bandit). However, I caution them on how much gold swirled metal & honeycomb accent they use along with hood sized firebird logos.

GM could have taken the gen5 car and put the old style Z28 fender flares on it. Maybe added some retro rainbow-looking stripe kits and a T-top for good measure. However this would have ruined this beautiful car.
I think this concept could be a really cool and modern tribute to the T/A, but please dont make it a joke filled w/ outdated stuff that will only add insult to a brand GM has already killed off.

WOW thats LAME as hell. let me guess the kit is $15,000 also. Why would you want do that to a beautiful CamaroSS ?

Is Burt Reynolds going to be there when they officially unveil it?

One more:

There are many behind-the-scenes players in the automotive industry that few on the outside ever hear of, despite their huge contributions. ASC Creative Services is one such company, designing and building some of the most cherished cars on the streets, including all 547 examples of the Buick GNX. Today, however, the company has turned its focus to creating a Pontiac Trans-Am from the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro.

The difference between the two cars has never been huge, historically, but they have always filled slightly different niches, with the Trans-Am typically getting a more aggressive treatment from the factory. ASC's design is no different.

Effected mostly by a body kit and wheels, the transformation to Pontiac Trans-Am includes an all-new Pontiac-style split-window grille, new front, side and rear aero, rear fender vents, trunk-lid spoiler, reworked side mirrors, and a new hood. Huge rear lights sit astride a Pontiac Firebird logo on the back of the car, while a single white stripe runs the length from front to back.

No word on performance mods has been released, so this appears to be a visual modification only.

Unfortunately for Pontiac fans, the Trans Am won't really live on as ASC doesn't have any plans to produce the car in volume - though they will build one out of your supplied 2010 Camaro if you just can't get enough Pontiac in your life.

Other projects that have put ASC on the performance-car map include the exterior design of the Saleen S5S Raptor supercar, all three of the Trailblazer, Malibu and HHR SS vehicles, the Saturn Ion Redline, and the 1993 Mustang Cobra.
