Personally I think Kevin and the team have nailed it. This is what a modern day Trans Am should look like. There are just a few small things that I would change, but overall the whole package works and is the design GM should have done.
So a few weeks back Chevy runs some ridiculous rebates and I figure it is time to bite the bullet and go all out and get a 7T7 TA. So I go to the local dealership and get a car all lined up just the way I want it and call TAD. To my shock, the $30k price tag is now $42k for just the conversion!!! (No t-tops power adders- nothing else). It also includes design changes on the inside that I do not want. So I ask to just have the outside converted and they refuse to do it. Then they tell me that if I called a few months ago that I could have done it for $30k without the interior, but not now. So in al reality to get into a "base" 7t7 TA you are looking at $80-$90K based on the camaro you start with. And the conversion cost AS MUCH AS THE CAR! While they nailed the design, they missed the point, TA's weren't for the independently wealthy, they were for the everyday enthusiast. They weren't meant to be hidden in garages, they were meant to drive. Who is going to drive a $85k car to work and risk door dings? Great concept car, but not a car that TA enthusiasts can actually aquire.
