Saw this coming into the car show I was at last night as I was leaving. I had to turn around. A GSC Trans Am. The Indianapolis based company built 4 cars and went out of business. The guy who owns this one has a second. All decals are hand painted, sports a supercharged LS engine, carbon fiber bits everywhere, and an amazing interior. The build quality of this car is so much better than any of the other conversions I'd seen on the internet. Once I pulled Emma next to the car a bunch of people came around and took photos of us.

Seeing that really makes me miss pontiac, some years of the trans am are so much better looking than the equivalent camaro it makes you wonder what they could do with a new one.

Hope you got a number for future shows! Neat to see parked next to each other, also makes you realize how much smaller Emma is than a 5th gen..
I need a 1st or 2nd gen in my life, have a 4th now and had a 3rd gen prior (gotta own at least one of each at some point!)

the guy is looking to get rid of parts, I have him my number. 2nd gens are cheap and easy to work on... Embrace the dark side.

Build quality seems to be a bit too good... Where's the bent hood gap that's standard on all 2nd gens?

I thought they looked hideous on the internet, but it really does look better in person. The quality of the conversion really made the car.

Ehhh quality is a minor detail when the car looks like shit. I have seen a few at car shows and hate them. I am already pre disposed at hating it b/c i hate the camaro

Have you seen the hood gap on my car? I've got enough gap in my good for all of the conversion cars. Seriously, the quality was crazy. Paint was flawless, not much in the interior was left factory, and there were little touches everywhere that we're awesome. T/A bird stitched into the convertible top where the B pillar would go? Check.

Yeah I've seen pictures of a couple of those conversions and quality really seems to be crazy high. But then again I'm also assuming they cost at least 10x more than yours.

Probably... and it probably makes somewhere between 3 or 4x as much power as mine too.

I fixed it. Those little screw things on the core support were off level.
