Now a "Corbird" is an option

hows this for a crude idea illustration...


the baddest trans am that might have been.

You've seriously outdone yourself this time, T-bat.

That is by far one of the sexiest cars I've ever seen. Saleen and McLaren have nothing on that.

Coming from you Arc, I'll take that as a high compliment...it isnt everyday you hear a girl refer to a car as "sexy"...if youre ever in VA, look us up...I gotta get you to give my daughter the crash course in being a "cargal"

sorry havin my dream ride agaqin!!!

heres a pic of my better half...shes often told she resembles my dream ride...

it looks like your fantasy and reality arent very far apart

kinda like sayin a grand prix and the grand am...pretty much the same thing...but thanks Ill tell her...

she demands equal billing....she tends to get what she wants.......

I can see why (consider yourself a lucky guy)

I have this discussion with my wife ever so often...she has an art degree with the emphasis on photography. She custom frames art as her job. She also quilts, draws and does scrapbooking (kinda goes with the photography)...but with all her talent and background she cant see cars as an art form. She shoots pictures of old falling down buildings because she love architecture and texture in pictures...but yet she cant go to the rod and custom show with me and take notice of the art and craftsmanship it takes to build a hot rod or a street machine. I often ask her how many times could she get into one of her quilts and take it for a spin? I think cars work on our emotions because theyre not static art. They not only look hot but the sound and feel that way as well. They move us and respond to our commands, and performance cars do that with verve. I believe it is this symbiotic relationship between us and the machine that makes a performance car such a full sensory experience...and like so many other good things in life, once we get a taste, we savor every chance to experience that feeling again (hows that for a little paperback psychology?)

Why would you mess with replacing with a v6? The popular engine replacement for late 2nd gens are getting back to Pontiac big block power with an early '70's 455 to replace tired 301's, 305's, and Olds 403's.

I have to ditto that, T-bat, but by a twist of irony, I rather like photography, too. There's something about being able to capture a moment, and something else about being able to run over it in style. And really, if you want to get technical, some of the members of this board have a little bit of photographer in them, even if it does only concern their car. Some of you guys have some really awesome pictures that probably required a bit of effort on your part. (Austin. )

So, this



equals

this



I love photography, simply because it has a different meaning to everyone, and reaches every person in the world. And yes I did take both those pictures and didn't steal them from anyone. :x The car however .. >

In answer to WS6...I would want to replace the 301turbo in an 80-81 T/A with the GN engine cuz its about the baddest turbo engine out there...if the car was not a turbo model then a Pontiac motor would be nice...the only issue I have with that is even though I'd like to have such a ride as a playtoy, I would occasionally want to take it on trips to the beach and such...a 455 gets brutal gas mileage on a good day, plus I think I just like the novelty of having an engine under the hood that isnt run of the mill...even an L67 under there would be neat and more potent than the 301 n/a engine would ever be...in all honesty, if Gm had offered the GTP with T-roof, targa or a droptop, I would happily grab one of those in a heartbeat.
