Like the car a hell of alot, I saw it on V8TV and was just in awe. I wish I had alot of extra cash kickin around, so I could add it my pontiac collection.

Just wish the car had a damn pontiac motor, a nice 461 stroker or 462.

I think the big inch pontiac is a way cool option. Dont get me wrong the LS7 is a great motor but, I hate seeing chevrolet small blocks in pontiacs.

I know exactly what you're saying... but I think since it's an LS motor, it's ok. The new GTO has an LS2, so GM made it official that you can put an LS motor in a Pontiac and still be true to its heritage. :D

Seriously though, I saw that car on Power Tour and it's amazing. It sits so perfect. I can't think of anything that needs to be changed, they hit a home run with this one. :thumbsup:

That thing is sweet, the wheels and stance just make the car. LS7 is a pretty sweet option that I would take! :thumbsup:

Ive always wanted an Elenor, but if I come accross the $$$$ I would do a modern day Bandit. In 87 when I bought my chevelle I almost got a 77 TransAM that looked exactly like the Bandit car, but the Chevelle won me over. Its really cool to see these kind of cars coming out, but us guys with a smaller budget probably will just have to bookmark the website as favorites and just imagine for now... Oh ya .. the LS7 in my book is very cool and half the weight... Think of it Bandit on a Nitro Slim Fast diet....:D

Blessings,

I've been looking for a stock #'s matching Bandit T/A for a while. But after seeing that in Hot Rod a couple of months back I've changed my mind and might do a similar car to that one now instead of all original. Once my 69 Camaro is done of course.:lol:

Only thing missing from that car is the Pontiac badge in the front V. That red lil' badge looks good there. That said, it's the best looking F-body evar!:hail:
