Those are not GM green-light concepts. Simply a private artists rendering of what one could look like today.

And as somebody else stated. If GM actually made that then my Mustang would no longer be in my posession.

I've been struggling with the thought as well. We've (the CFO...er wife and I) decided that the next car will be the Boss in early 08, but if this comes out or if the Camaro actually looks better than the concept, then it will be a tough choice. The Challenger is out for me, I don't think it will be light enough for the track, and with it being on the same frame/power plant as the charger, its definitely going to be one heavy car.

But the TA has always been a favorite of mine, especially the pre 80's TA's.

That photochop is hideous compared to the "Bandit" styled one that is floating around.

I like it. But I do agree that the bandit one looks better.

Last post I saw, the Boss is not going to have a 5.0 version of the 3V, but instead a hurricane based platform (not sure on the size, TJ is the expert on Boss gossip). I hope it's more than a rumor.

"Can't you see boy? I'm in high speed pursuit of a black Trans Am!" I love Jackie Gleason.....the Bandit car is pretty sweet.

If the Firebird looks like that when (if) it comes out, then it's safe to say I will still be posting here because that transformer wannabe looks like barf incarnate!

(Although we all know it's photoshopped)

RE: NEW FIREBIRD

I have a family member works at a Pontiac dealership, yet Pontiac hasn't given us a reason to use our staff discount in over 15 years (my dad's used 2001 Mustang GT being the exception). This car would give me a reason to have a look there once again.
