I agree even though the wheels are correct for that style of t/a. I think it's to bad that pontiac is no more as 99.9% will never have an opportunity to own a car like this as not many of these cars will be made and will be VERY expensive if it's ever available to the public

Re: Lingenfelter Trans Am

I think it looks like crap and I'm kind of glad that this won't see a wide release.
While it does play homage to some of the older Firebirds, I just don't like how most cars lately are starting to look more and more like boats.

I agree. Not sure about the front either. It looks like it has two grills and two sets of headlights. It's almost like the body is too tall.

Don't like it. The long nose clip reminds me of that ridiculous station wagon from the first of the Vacation films starring Chevy Chase....;

Re: Lingenfelter Trans Am

I dont like it. Im a fan of the early 70s trans ams but this one is just way to FAT! sorry dont know another word off the top of my head. The interior is certain a little different touch to it, but its not really my style. Im hoping they do more concepts for a better look of the original. Hopefully no 3rd gens go into concept im to afraid of how the automotive designers are these days and make an abomination of the 3rd gens previous style.
