What's GM up to?? Is Pontiac making a come back??

I saw one of these on the road today while I was on my way to Idlewild baptist church. Pontiac logos and all. No Chevy logo on car. They had a car show and fireworks there on the 4th. As I was travelling on Dale Mabry It was heading in the same direction I was, but I was stuck at a turning light to get on N. Dale Mabry. I wasn't fast enough with my Camera to capture a pic so you guys could know I'm not lying. I searched all the cars that were at the church and it wasn't there.

The back side looked retro from like a 77 Trans AM. This car was beautiful. It put the new Camaro to shame.

I believe this is a kit you can buy to retrofit your camaro. I think Year One was supposed to be selling these....

They make firebird and other style of conversion kits for Camaros, it has literally nothing to do with pontiac making a come back.

This is the lingenfelter trans am concept from awhile back, not sure if this one made it to production or not:

It looks good in black but the other colors look funky in the grill area. That black one posted looks tits, the white one not so much...

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Black and Gold or Blue and Silver/white. These cars could sell. Makes ya wonder if GM will ever do some sort of special edition on their own with certain Pontiac cars. Firebird, Trans-am, Grand Prix, GTO (A real GTO)
