On display at the Nitto tires booth at the 2009 SEMA Show is a modern interpretation of the Pontiac Trans Am. Based on a 2010 Camaro, the car was designed and built by the Corvette and Chevy tuning experts at Lingenfelter. The car takes cues from the 1971 second-gen TA and so in order to stay faithful to that car Lingenfelter decided to equip it with a 445 cubic inch V8 engine. That engine, claims Lingenfelter, makes a whopping 655-hp!
The car will also sports a duck-tail spoiler, fender vents, a twin-port front grille, 20-inch honeycomb wheels and the obligatory screamin’ chicken (although it is rather small). There’s even a retro-styled interior with a blue dash and blue leather, stitched in bars on the seats – just like the old days.
Called the Lingenfeler LTA (Lingenfelter Trans Am) Concept the car is a one-off, but there is certain to be huge demand for the car – especially considering the popularity of the new Camaro – so a limited number of production models is a definite possibility.

See the Ligenfelter T/A is much cleaner. The lines are much more deserving of the T/A. I know everyone out likes the Smokey and bandit look but they did it injustice with the rear of the Kevin Morgan T/A.

I have owned T/As all my life,I am 49 and currently own a 1980 smokey-bandit car w/a 514 c.i. pontiac engine w/super t-10 4 speed,that said I love the lingenfelter T/A the only problem from a true poncho fan is that it needs to be powered by pontiac to make it a true T/A.
