Default Trans Am Depot's New Trans Am - The Super Duty

I recently came across Trans Am Depot's latest version of the Camaro based Trans Am, the 1000 hp Super Duty. I have tried to find out what the price point is for this car, without success. Has anyone heard anything about what these cars are going for?

SD Trans Am

Says have to fill out form to find out price.

I think it would have been better for Pontiac to have put a supercharger on the original 455 SD.

Old info from carsuwanna,
Trans Am World Wide hasn’t announced the pricing yet and all we know is that the 50 lucky purchasers will be required to pay a non-refundable $3,000.00USD deposit right away, while the delivery will take up to 180 days. However, solely based on the pricing of the company’s previous offering, the Bandit Edition, which sold for $115,000, we expect this new model to go for about the same.

Poser's car!
Still nothing more than a fancy expensive Camaro, Imo.

I agree also.

Never did like the look of the new Camaro and I still don't. Impressive performance, but it's ugly IMO.

Thanks, everyone for your input. I was really only interested in where they were pricing the unit, as I did not wish to apply on their website. They probably wouldn't reveal it without a deposit anyhow.

I understand it's looks is an acquired taste. Despite the dislike posted, I find it amazing that the specialized body parts are being produced on a 3D printer. Having seen some of the initial Camaro-Trans Am conversions back in 2010 in person, I found many of the "Trans Am"' parts did not fit together very well. Now they can produce the part to fit exact. However, these designers are still limited to the basic design of the Camaro, and if you don't like the Camaro, it's hard to like the altered versions.

Thanks again.

Ridiculous!

back when they first started transforming the Camaros into "trans am" or "firebird" cars, I had several of my friends calling me saying wow wow wow when are you going to buy one. and my response was that they are really cool looking and if they were still building Pontiacs and they were a factory unit I would probably get one, but these are nothing more than a kit car in my opinion.
