I always liked the Trans Am better then the Firebird.I say just lower it a bit slap on some muscle car rims and paint the car black.

:eek: If you want help, it may not be the best idea to insult a car that many people like. I had a `97 Trans Am, and for less than $20,000, I had more power than many foreign sports cars(would run a high 13 quarter mile), great handling, and it was fully loaded with options. It wasn`t the greatest car, but there were plenty of good things about it. It would be better to say "In my opinion, they are ugly and I don`t see anything good about them", but even that will likely cause a conflict. You wouldn`t want anyone saying "Those (insert ChopinPorkChop`s favorite car) just plain suck and are worthless". Just trying to help you out....
So i was looking for some refrence pics and found many really nice Drags and stuff but very harsh body kits and being the n00b i am, i know i wouldnt be able to do it.
One modification you may want to try is to make the hood a "ram air" version like the WS-6. Pictures of one should be easy to find. Let me know if you cant find anything.

ok ok ok im not the biggest fan of firebirds BUT! I love Firehawks and I LOVE BLACK BIRDS. If not you could consider putting the 17 inch torque thrust 2 knock offs that i have seen in the hobby store.
the black bird can be found at Carl Black Chevolet in Georgia USA can be seen here or in the included picture:http://www.carlblackperformance.com

Who makes that kit? Probably a stupid question that will be answered by "revell" but I ask stupid things. I'd just chuck the fattest supercahrger I could find on it and give it big meats out back and lower it, done & done :D
