So it's really a physical vehical ?? Sweet
I think it's cool someone had the guff to make it more than a photoshop edit.

Even if ideas are crappy,, I've always had a thing/appreciation to look at the tallent to do it more than the overall. Kind of like Boyd can hand make a car, even if they might look like crap (others opinins), just the fact to create something with your hands from an idea like that makes it sweet.

Now that I know it's real,, I like it even more (and it sounds badarse performance from the specs)
Hmmm,, A 3rg gen wagon?,,,, LoL,, j/k guys,,, I'd prob still like it tho if someone did it (correctly)

hmmmm...if i didn't know it had those mods, i'd say it was painted to match the color of the back of the owner's neck.

I saw that on Horsepower TV. That car rocks. You could do all kinds of things with that car. It could be a ******* wagon, or you could fill the back with subwoofers for sound competition. Think of all the awards a car like that could win. The decals almost match the paint, like ghost emblems or something.

I think it's a novel idea, but on the fourth gen the back part is too square for it to match up with the rest of the car which is rounded (if anyone understands my madness)

Has anyone heard of the "Type K" second gen??

Or how about the "Pegasus"?

here's the info - "Called Pegasus and built for GM Design Vice President W.L. Mitchell, this
modified 1971 Firebird initially ran a 3.3-liter Ferrari V-12 but when that was
deemed too weak it was replace with a 4.5-liter Ferrari engine"

Type 'K' huh?,,, many moons before they built up to Type 'R' I guess

I've got to say I almost like the 2nd gens as much as that 4th.

THe Hurst Hauler was at the St. Ignace car show, I have a poster just like the above picture. I also have some walk around film of the car as well from my Video camera. it would take me a while to actually edit it for use on the PC though. Coincidently at St.Ignace GM brought the 3rd gen one as well with the GTA badgeing. I have film of that one as well.
