I would drive the shit out of this, except for the BMW headlights. For some reason those are just pissing me off.

I really hate that Pontiac had to go out of business and that T-tops aren't a thing anymore.

T-Tops need to come back. Preferably on a brown AWD manual diesel wagon. With T-tops. Based on the Miata, of course.

I dunno, I think they kinda fit. This is the only way I would have a new camaro.

It's gross - it's the wrong body style to try and make into a 2nd Trans Am.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > JR1 05/09/2014 at 14:30

Ts and Targa tops are awesome.

I love the shit out of this car. I know its just a kit, but I've always thought it looks amazing. The problem is I couldn't justify spending 40k on a Camaro and then another 10k in body kit. I had a 2001 Trans-Am WS-6 and it was one of my favorite cars ever. The sad thing is despite the length of the hood on that car, the modern Camaro is worse in regards to sight lines. I've driven one and you can't see anything. Can't see over the hood, side windows are slits, rear visibility is SUV like, and the blind spots are just terrible due to the pillars behind you. Just nasty. The LS3 is one of my favorite motors though.

Possibly the best feature. I too would drive the bejeebus out of this car.

I've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there . . .

Damn that would be a pretty Oppo ride. Even if I dislike AWD and diesel wagons I would hoon it for days!

The Trans Am has always been a Pontiac-ified Camaro, so this is how a new Trans-Am would be, like it or not. Well, minus the headlights.

Don't know about that. We have lots of same-platform cars today, but a lot of work is done to obfusticate that reality from the non-jalop public. Not even GM is willing to pull that 90s trick where the two different cars are basically a body kit apart and nothing more anymore.

This is our era's version of the 4th Gen Camaro/Firebird, but they look like they exist in different market segments, because they do. That's how FCA can get away with making two different cars by cutting them from the same cloth. I'm not convinced a post bailout 2014 Pontiac would just bodykit their way to a new firebird. Though I do realize not everyone's putting in the effort to differentiate selling the same car...
