i like the half stepping around the camaro production schedule. lol that was a good dance.
that is also the first time i have ever heard anything directly from GM that refgered to the trans am royalty.
for those who don't know the history of the trans am in detail. it was a car created for the street to capture the essence and glamour of a racing series. no trans am or firebird of any sort was built specifically for the series or had much of any success in the series. the name in trade mark nad copyright has been held by the sports car club of america since the early 60's and auto manufacturers were allowed to use the name for a fee of around $20 per unit.
pontiac and dodge(challenger t/a) were the only two companies that really tried to market using the series name.
