    I saw it at SEMA, looked great. 8)

    To bad GM got rid of the Pontiac Division.
    Kinda hard to sell Trans-am's if you don't have a brand anymore....... :o

        they are building a version right here in Tallahassee. They are awesome. My buddy Jim is one of the owners (you met him at the finish line party he was driving either the drk green 442 or the olive green 71 GTO) They have sold one to Paul Tetel (sp) and another to Burt Reynolds. Jim asked me if I wanted to drive to the airport with him to pick up Burt a couple of weeks ago, but I wasn't able get out of work . . . dagnabit !

        At this point they are a little pricey for our budget, but Jim said at SEMA they had LOTS of interest !

        The 1200 hp twin turbo version would probably be good for you

        Dreamin right along with ya DTB

            They did the same thing at the 2009 SEMA show, made a bandit car. Have to agree with Chief on this one, it's really too bad they killed Pontiac. Nice looking car though.

                  The badging would say Pontiac Trans Am, but the registration slip would say Chevrolet. I'll pass and keep my real pontiac trans ams.

                    Didn't mean to start a debate about Pontiac versus Chevy, I just think it's a cool-looking car!!! What Pontiac might have been able to do if they had not deleted the brand!

                      I agree with you, GM did not make one of their best decisions on eliminating pontiac. It used to be one of their peformance divisions and did quite well until some of their new management screwed it up.

                      I have a great video about pontiac history, i'll look that up and post it here.

                          Yup, thats the one Rett. Great video. Tragic though the stupid decisions of the idiot they put in charge. Oh well. but great video, nicely done.

                              Hey Camino Girl,
                              I tried to PM ya, but I guess you don't have the old email address I have for you. I wanted to send you some pix of the T/A's here in Tallahassee. Paul Senior, from OCC, came to town last week to pick up the Beautiful Black FireHawk and decided he wanted the the White (done in a 70 look) T/A also. When they told him it was already sold, he raised a fit. As the TV show reveals he doesn't like not getting his way !

                              I am hoping to go for a ride in Jim's as soon as they get it put together. Hope I don't have to throw a temper tantrum like . . . never mind. Working with the stars has got to be a challenging endeavor.

                              If ya win the lottery come on down and Jim will fix ya right up !

                              Still Dreamin DTB
