New Concept car

Metlqueen - 1-9-2007 at 02:10 AM

Lookie at what I've found!!! I would trade my TA in a heartbeat for this one! This is the concept for either 2008 or 2009.

This concept looks alot like the Camaro Concept...
Trans Ams were always way better than Camaros!;)

I first found the Camaro concept first and figured that if the Camaros were comming back then the Firebird would be too. I'd take a Trans Am over a Camaro anyday! I'm on my 3rd TA and my husband just sold his Firebird.

I have been a TA lover forever. I have actually restored 7 from ground up. Fav was a 74 1/2 455HO that I painted Maxwell House coffee can blue.

Anywho......I seen this pic before. I thought it was a photoshop rendering that someone did after the Camaro concept car was introduced. If this did come to fruition.....KILLER!!!! I think they should stuff the new Vette drive train in it......OHHHHHH YEAAAAA!!!

Yeah, I was really sad when they said that the 2002's were gonna be the last year for the Trans Am. I knew it wouldn't be long before they started again. This concept looks like its getting back to being a true muscle car (not that my '01 WS6 doesnt look beefy!)

I did just find the message board that this pic was posted on and there is the big argument as to whether this will become a real thing or if its just wishfull thinking. Some are saying that it is a photoshop and some say it isn't. Either way, this car is freakin HOT!!

I agree with that!! This would be a kickass ride if they did it. My dream car has always been a 1969 Trans Am 455SD. Now that was the sheet!!

KITT was the best trans am, ive never known another car that could turbo boost and bore you to deth by talking to you....

I loved KITT!! The body style of that car was sooooooo cool!! I think that is why I am partial to the 92 Firebirds...I sold mine after I bought the TA and my husband just sold his 92 a few days ago. I really miss that car.

I can't wait till I get another firebird, if you look closely at my pic, you can see my red 92 firebird, after that I had a black 94 firebird, if I ever get another one, I think I'll go for an older one like the first gen ones.


KITT was a nice looking car, so was the first shot of that 77 TA in the first Smokey and the Bandit....



James (I think I have an unhealthy obsession with firebirds) :o

I really hate to think that 2002 was the last of the firebirds. I guess I'll have to keep the '01 trans am forever...

KITT was COOL! But you gotta love the old model TAs!
I always wanted a black one w/ no bird and the "Turbo TransAM" written in electirc light blue. And of course it had to have the tinted windows & t-tops!

If those cars do come out - I WANT ONE ! ! !
