every trans am owner also understands that their birds really are just camaro's with body kits 
by the way....it can really be called a trans am because gm doesnt own the name. all the bodykit company has to do is pay royalties per kit for the name and bam TRANS AM

The new Camaro's look awesome, that looks like $h!t. The 5th gen is aimed at looking like a 1st gen that these people tried making into a 2nd gen, WTF! Tell them to stop ruining cars!

if they are going to do it it needs to be 100% rebodied not just bits and pieces....its complete **** and drags the trans am's name in the dirt IMO
now if they stripped the car and rebuilt it, then id give it a shot

LOL, you act like the TA or firebird has been a different car, but no, it was always a rebadged Camaro...especially the 3rd & 4th gens.

When they had Pontiac engines, they were different cars. For example, you couldn't get a Ram Air IV on a '69 Camaro, or a 455 SD on a '74 Camaro, which BTW the Trans Am was the fastest American-production car that year. The first Chevy engine didn't show up in a Firebird until 1980, but even then you could still get the 301. Yes, they shared the same framework and structure. But for the better part of two generations, they weren't just re-badged Camaros.

Nice crowd reaction, but once I saw the rear it was  . The wheels are really sharp, the air vents in the front fender were done right, but the old style hood scoop really dated it. Maybe the 1982-92 Formula hood would have looked more modern, but the front grill still looked like a Camaro. OK effort that I would def drive, but it has a love it or hate look to it.
