Let's see, it's faster and better handling than any Trans Am built before it.
Even with just an average driver the 426 HP 6.2 liter LS3 is good for 13-flat 1/4 mile times at 110 MPH right off the showroom floor. With a good driver and good tires it's easily a low-12s car. Imagine this ride if and when the 550+ HP supercharged 6.2 that's slated for the Z-28 makes it under the hood.
And it looks pretty good as-is but I agree on the Mustang-esque side scoops. If you're not happy with them the wheels on any car can easily be changed.
I like it.
It's not for an old-school Trans Am purist, but its a good looking car and I think ASC has the right idea here.
Besides, like it or not the Firebird started out as a Camaro in the beginning. The new LS-series engines from GM Powertrain are nothing less than a pushrod-marvel.
I'd drive it.
Hard.
