YOU CAN MAKE THE 2011 T/A A REALITY

ASC Creative Services told HPP that it has been inundated with responses to our August 2009 story “Trans Am of Tomorrow.” Pontiac fans from all walks life are telling ASC to make its 2011 Trans Am proposal a reality and are providing suggestions for the production model.

Design Director/General Manager Steve Nowicki says, “We have set up a separate email account because the response has been fantastic.” The company will reply to those who have already emailed, but asked for Pontiac fans to keep emailing, as Steve is saving all of them to use as confirmation to potential investors that there is a market for a 2011 T/A.

Currently, ASC is seeking investors to move the project forward, despite the fact that Pontiac is no more.

16. I agree, dont try to morph a Camaro.
ACS should own the Pontiac brand, redesign a line of cars and not just Firebird. Start from scratch and give us back the Pontiac engine line. Put a Pontiac slyle aluminum block in them with fuel injection and work off of that. I think very economic to super aggressive Pontiacs with Pontiac engines would be possible. The generations of Pontiac cars we all love and know were the thoughts and imagination of artistically talented people who designed them years ago. These types of people still exist and should come up with an all new, all Pontiac product. Can you imagine, a Pontiac with a Pontiac engine again. I can just see the hands and noses pressed up against the dealership glass already !

17. I just think ASC and GM should be leaders and not followers. We followed Dodge when we went Retro with the Camaro. Do we dare to be bold enough to be progressive with the Trans Am? If it sold badly, then there must be parts from the 1998-2002 body that would serve us well, if we just constructed some minor adjustments to the 98-02 body style. I think the T/A should stay progressive. I would add; the hood opens in the same direction as the Vette. Retro HAS BEEN DONE. Maybe in like ten years when everyone goes progressive, but not now, it sends a signal that we are followers and WE ARE TRYING TO KEEP UP, instead of the clear message of leaders clearing a path for others to follow...

18. Is it possible to flop an 02 with some minor adjustments, ie. the pop-up light replaced with the vette or the audi headlight. The antenna removed, and, instead of that outdated hood scoop shaker, for the WS6, the 02 ram air nasal canal. Just so readers can get a look at a progressive T/A next to a retro *** TS187 "murderer motor", big tires 325's and some huge disc brakes.

19. pontiac motors.....not likely just for the fact that parts would be limited. i dont mind a re badged camaro as a *** since they camaro and firebird have shared the same body since the firebird was introduced.Personally i like the 77-78 t/a with the screamin chicken on the hood Dont put a turbo diesel, or a turbo v6. if your gonna put a T/A 6.6 decal on the shaker, put a 400 6.6
its not not like it will be there for long, we're all in for a big change by 2020

20. Think it should look like the 69 *** It has the most interesting lines, and stands out as a one year model only. No mistaking that for a camaro.The 77-78 year is too played out. I love smokey,but enough already.

21. It's amazing to me to see the number of people who think that a car wouldn't be an authentic Trans Am namesake if it were built from the new Camaro. Do all these people deny the heritage of the great Trans Ams of the past? Of course not, and ALL those cars shared platform and panels with the Camaro. Ignore the people who confuse a T/A with a Camaro. They are people who don't know a Civic from a Chevelle. Their opinions on cars don't matter, because they aren't car people. We are, and we know what it takes to make a Trans Am. Each one of us has an opinion about what it takes to make a "proper" *** but if we compared our lists, no two would agree perfectly. However, we would all agree on the distinctives. If someone out there is thinking about bringing about a new Bird, let's get behind them, make our voices heard, and maybe our favorite nameplate will, just like the legend, rise from its own ashes.
