Default Added some new badging!

So I haven't 'officially' added it yet, but ever since I was a kid I wanted a Trans Am. Then I saw this article:

http://www.motortrend.com/news/2016-...de-first-look/

I thought, hells yeah, 840 hp, sign me up! Then I realized they were sold out and I don't really have an extra $125-150 grand laying around. So I thought I would add this as an homage! I picked it up off eBay for $20!

Any opinions? I think it looks good:

If not, then I would go full-70's treatment - white walls, wheel covers, fender skirts, **** carpeting, CB radio, and a two tone paint job.


You don't live near where that gas well was leaking, do you?

Default wow ...

Wow .....

I was just thinking about something
similar about a month ago.

My concept was a 2016 Black
Corvette Coupe with a Gold Hood
Stinger Stripe that extend across
the roof and down to the edge of
the rear (where the rear spoiler would be)

maybe even Gold color extending from
the rear portion of the stripe down both
sides of the rear ... (like the Baldwin
Motion corvettes of the 70's)

Then ... of course .. the Gold snowflake
wheels to finish it off (sized of course, for
the corvette)

that's all folks ... thanks for this post.

Tom in Tennessee.

Love the '77 TA, but the screaming chicken is best suited for the TA, and not a Corvette.
