people can say what they want, but I think this is an awesome car. Sure it isn't a genuine Trans-Am, but still a sweet build.

Pontiac is the Elvis of the car industry! Nobody wants to believe it's dead, and all the imitators, no matter how good, are still obviously fake.

Rather than complain about the thread, enjoy the fact that someone is willing to put money down to purchase another GM vehicle, whether its dressed up or not. He's excited about the possibility of owning a kit car, like thousands of other folks who own kit cars. His purchase of an American car, with an Amreican made car kit, helps keep people employed, plus helps him continue to enjoy some semblance of Pontiac even though it's gone. I'd like to own another car with a firechicken on the hood too.
Enjoy the car when you get it!

Very well said buddy. No matter what anyone says and I could careless that pontiac is dead. It will still be alive in me and in that new Trans am. If there paying to use the name guess what? Its a damn pontiac Trans am. Since its inception Camaro and Firebird have always shared the same platform and drivetrain. So why should it bother anyone now? This is a must have for me that will be in reason that I can afford. Things like the year one bandit car that sell at 200,000 its way out of my price range. This is not just another Trans am thread its a reality thats going to be built though it wont be till the end of next year but hey the best thing comes to those who wait.

Won't be a Pontiac. It will be registered as a Chevrolet Camaro. They have only shared drivetrains since the 3rd gens.

So much immaturity in one thread.. haven't had one of these in a while.
Mike, how much do you save on insurance compared to it being listed as an SUV? I know the last time I checked my mom's 06 Eclipse is a sedan

DMV is a crapshoot, I've had 4Runners titled as wagons and also trucks. It comes down to the initial title and how the form was filled out. There's no such thing as an SUV.

 My '01 Cherokee says "wagon" on the registration, and my '88 Monte says "2 dr." - not sure why they classify Ryan's mom's Eclipse as a sedan. I always though sedan = 4 doors, and coupe = 2 doors?

Nope. Although that's the generally accepted definition, doors with posts = sedan and just glass = coupe. You can have 2 door sedans and 4 door coupes.
