I'm well aware of the Iroc name on the Daytona(total junk too lol). My point is that your analogy makes no sense because that the Daytona Iroc wasn't a kit car. It was its own car. The Trans Am BS that companies are coming up with is a kit on top of a Camaro. While the Trans Am name isn't an actual stand alone model it's been with the Firebird, the Trans Am being on a Camaro is like putting the GNX plate on a Hon-duh Civic.

So will these owners go around saying they have a Camaro Trans Am? No, they'll say they have a Tran Am. When you've talked to Firebird Trans Am owners have you EVER hard they say "yeah, I own an 89 Firebird Trans Am"? Of course not, they say they have a Trans Am. You're right on a technicality but these "kits" are trying to revive the dead Firebird and you know it, lol. Hence me saying let it die...just let it die.
