Very cool, it's my favorite car, Firebird/TransAm. When I Was 18, I bought a Red 1981 Firebird with a V8. It was my first new car and still my favorite of all the vehicles I've owned. This new Bandit addition would go along way in changing my opinion though. Only one problem, it costs $115,000...Keep dreaming

I'ved owned 4 Trans Ams, a '78, a '86, a '91 and a '96 Ram Air which I still have.

If they made a new Trans Am legit (ie you can buy for same cost as a Z28 or SS) i'd be totally down.

I love these customs.. they've been doing them for years.. but starting at $78k.. ouch! I can't justify that.

Oh I'm all about used cars but I doubt you'll see these limited production customs sitting on a used car lot anytime soon.

That seems a little pricey honestly.

They'll do the conversion for about $40k over the cost of the donor camaro, i'd imagine you can easily get a V8 camaro for less than $50k so buying this used for $89k doesn't make a lot of sense.

I do love these conversions but I can't even imagine what the payments on an $80k car would be, lol.

Once you add tax, tag, title and dealer fee then put 50k down your looking at over $700 per month for 6 years. Thats a lot of money for a car that really dosen't exist.

When you get close to six figures.. at that point I'm thinking i'll just buy another house and rent it out.. or something along those lines.

This will probably keep its value better than most things (if you don't drive it too much) but it will depreciate eventually. If GM decides to bring the 'real' Trans Am back watch these things tank if the legit version looks good.

Still, i do think some of them are pretty cool looking and would do it if they were a 1/3rd the price or i hit the lotto :)
