I'd prefer to see the Firebird over the Trans. But man, I WILL buy that Challenger. That's definitely a "Go-balls-out" car! Gotta have it...and I don't think I could get one without a V8. That's a whole different car right there. Not hatin on the Mustang or my Mustang because those are #1 for me. But I'd love to have that new Challenger as 2nd car! And love the picture...but Camaro does not belong in the middle front. Should be Stang and Challenger in front with the Camero in the back middle lol

I think Firebirds and Trans Am are the same car just the Trans is a upgraded version.
My neighbor has a 68 Firebird that I would just love to see recreated.

All this talk about the Trans Am and Firebird reminded me of a pic I have been holding on to for a long time wondering where and when it will be put to use. For all of us Smokey and the Bandit fans, I give you the new version:
I would love to see a remake of the movie with some new cars in it including the one pictured above and maybe some Chargers as police cars. The ultimate cast would be Jessica Alba as Carrie(could you imagine seeeing her change out of a wedding dress in the back seat?), Larry the Cable Guy as Cledus(who else would fit?), Burt Reynolds switching roles and playing Sheriff Buford T Justice(why not?), and Mathew McConaughey as the Bandit (he's got the distinct laugh and accent that the Bandit had in the original). C'mon hollywood get busy!

personally, i'd rather see the firebird/TA over the camaro...all chevy cars are pretty ugly...they ruined the vette with that new style, the ssr is pretty cool though, the HHP panel (without the side windows) is cool, but no power...i WISH plymouth was still in business to re-make the roadrunner or cuda - never really liked the challenger, but if i ever can, i'll get one - or, maybe just get a new 6.1 FI Hemi with all the computer junk, etc. and put it in my '71

Yeah I saw that picture a few years ago and showed it to a friend of mine. He got very excited hoping they would build it. He owns a 1978 Trans Am like the one in the movies. If you notice the front where the lights are and the side with the hump are very similar to the new Camaro concept.

hmm, I think the camaro's design works better on the trans am. I mean the front grill looks exactly like the ones from the mid-late 70's in that picture.

Seriously I would love to see that movie with that cast. It would be perfect! Total blockbuster :)
The Challenger is getting tons of press! Every where I look its on the front cover or being talked about. I understand the Mustang falling by the way side because it's dominated for so long. However, you wouldn't even know the Camaro was coming back!

MOPAR OR NO CAR!!!! jk, i can't say that, cuz i have a stang too...love em both for dif reasons...stang for reliability, it's new, easy on gas, etc. plymouth cuz it's just all muscle, loud, no creature comforts at all, and gets attention all the time (i'm sure they're lookin and thinkin, "what is that idiot doin burnin 4$ a gallon gas like that)
chevy will find a way to mess up the camaro - they mess up everythng else pry the best thing they've got goin for em now IMO is the HHR panel (no windows on the sides)...lacks in power and overall style, but looks pretty good
