I'm conflicted
I love TA 's but this... With Pontiac being gone... Idk.. Its like... Here's what it might have been... And I guess that's way better than.. It's gone... Tough sh!t.
What do you guys think?? Would you buy one? And I'm talking to the TA crowd.. I know that there are some Camaro owners that hate Firebirds just as much as mustangs... Though really don't know why... I've owned both.. They feel pretty similar In the LT/LS cars.. The 70"s models... There was a difference.. But not a huge difference.. At least not to me..94 FIREBIRD FORMULA A4: art carr transmission &2200 rpm stall, custom cam, 1:6 R's, shock tower brace, CAI, Pacesetter LT's & OR Y pipe, cat delete, lowered 2.5in, Eibach spring kit, JSEsway bars, X-brace Sfc's, adj LCA'S, adj TA, adj PHB, koni adj shocks, poly bushings.

Lmao that's a funny ad. I will say I'm not too much of a fan of the 5th gen styling of the Camaro, and this certainly looks little better IMO, but I honestly think the 4th gen Trans Am is still the sexiest of them all. My biggest complaint with the 5th gens is that they just look too bulky. I like the sleek muscle look better. I probably wouldn't buy one myself, but if given one, I certainly wouldn't complain.

I think them things are a joke. They look stupid and a giant waste of money.

I'd rock a ZL1 or one of the new Z28s without a doubt. I don't think I could pay the kind of money for an SS for no more than I got in return. Not in my plans by any means, but just saying I can't hate on a ZL1 or Z28.
I have came across some of the 5th Gen T/A conversions that look better than that one. I like the idea of having something different.

Lots of visual horsepower, full bolt-ons, and a little spray....

Good marketing, I don't want a new 5th gen, but if my girlfriend saw that commercial she'd want one. Although being a performance guy, if I was going to dump money it'd be on a ZL1/Z28 or the Vette before a T/A.

Personally I love the looks of the car. I think it looks better as a T/A than a Camaro. I would rock it. To bad GM did away with Pontiac.
