I was at the dealership getting maintenance done and saw this in the lot. Its a modified '12 SS as a Trans AM.. They are asking 74k for it.. Check it out!!

WheelmanSS · 07-23-2012, 01:48 PM

welp, that's about the most obnoxious thing I have ever seen.

orangejuice · 07-23-2012, 01:48 PM

Yeah its called the Firebreather. A shit ton of money for some body work basically.

moserbe · 07-23-2012, 01:49 PM

Way too much money!!

United_727 · 07-23-2012, 02:00 PM

Just wait til you need parts for it. Not for $74k,either.It's not even a 'vert.

That is incorrect. This is another TransAm clone car using the Camaro as a base.

Firebreather was a different car along this same series, but not all clones are Firebreathers.

Looks like a TransAmDepot car or close to it. They make other oldschool conversions as well.

Nvincent4708 · 07-23-2012, 02:01 PM

well. i like how it looks

i hate the price tag.

Xello · 07-23-2012, 02:01 PM

Not a fan, but it is one of the better looking conversions. The biggest flaw though is that they did not remove the gills. Doh!

Obzen · 07-23-2012, 02:11 PM

Yay a fake trans am for $74k.

HumanWiki · 07-23-2012, 02:13 PM

Well, real 2012 Trans Ams are a little difficult to come by.

TheNewCzar · 07-23-2012, 02:18 PM

74k and no t-tops? pass

Looks nice tough but i'm not a big fan of the batman front grill. I prefer the look of my 2000 WS6 grill.

DRKS1D3 · 07-23-2012, 02:18 PM

I don't think it's a TransAmDepot job. Their cars are more detailed than this. To me it's a half-ass attempt. Gills not removed, not lowered, probably no motor work or any other performance mods.

Here's a TransAmDepot car:

TheNewCzar · 07-23-2012, 02:19 PM

Actually, with the body style this needs an older model Trans Am front end, like '69 styling.

It really needs its own headlights, borrowing from the camaro doesnt work
