I saw a Lingenfelter (sorry if it is mis-spelled) version that looked like an early second gen T/A at Barrett-Jackson last month. Was done very well, but in the end is still a camaro.

I think the fact it's V6 powered hurts it. If it had a V8 there might be more interest. I still think it looks good.

I agree but the V-6 is very nice package and they are pretty quick for the weight of the car. That DOHC V-6 with direct injection is a nice piece and very efficient. 220 cubic inches, 300 horsepower, 11.5:1 compression and it runs fine on 87 octane. Not bad at all...

Not only is the car a 6cyl....but it also has a salvage title. So this begs to question who in the hell would want a 6 cyl, salvage title, fake Trans Am???
