T-top, black with the iconic eagle or whatever on the hood and 840hp under the hood. Hells yeah, sign me up! I'll pass on Burt Reynolds signing it though.

A White 1984 Trans-Am with black aero package and graphics was my first new car and that's when I caught the bug for sports cars. Loved it! Went from the Trans-Am to my first new vette in 1989. Stuck with Vettes ever since.

Always liked the Trans Am, although I never owned one. Had 3 Camaros though, an 84,89 and a 97. All great fun cars.

Was told all 77 Bandit Editions are sold out...@115k each. Saw them at the NY Auto Show. Very well done but I'd take a new ZL-1 or the upcoming Z28 before I would buy a BS Bird!

It's actually one of the nicest Transmaro's that I have seen. The others just don't look very good

That looks geometrically good imo

Looked forward to the return of the TA and Camaro but what sucks is GM priced them out of reach once again for the avg working stiff.

Sorry 40k+ is a fleecing.

Give me a stripped down v8 6 spd for 2o something and Im happy.
Oh well dreams are for free

I've never been a fan of the 5th gen Camaro.

I saw the car in person, it is actually very well built. The attention to detail seemed pretty high but to each his own. My first car was a blk 79 with a real 400 and 4 speed, 2nd car was a 1980 Trans am pace car, had a 76 with a 455 and a 89 formula 350. Fun cars until I could afford a Vette.
