Yes, Velocity. I just saw the commercial for it last night. This could be really good or really bad. There is a show about the recreation of a Yenko Camaro. Its horrible. Hopefully this Trans Am show doesn't follow the same path.

EDIT: Nope, not Velocity

I saw this being advertised for months now, they only show a blink of an eye preview of the trans am. Can’t wait to see it hope it’s worth the wait.

No matter how good or bad the show is it is good for all Trans Am owners. The value of almost every Trans Am will go up .
From a nostalgia side note I remember watching Smokey and the Bandit when Burt pulled the black and gold Trans Am out of the back of the semi trailer, HONEY HUSH. As a young kid I was hooked and knew that was the car I had to own someday. I still see young kids stare at my car when I drive it around, heck even teenagers stop and look at it. I think the new Trans Am show will have the same effect on the younger generation as it did on myself.
On a side note the wife and I took the Trans Am out for a drive which she does not ride in all that often. She kept telling me to slow and down and grabbing onto the oh ship handle. I go the same speed. I told her I am driving the same way I drive our other cars at the same speed, the Trans Am is just louder is all. Now I know why she does not like to drive in the Zam.

I think it's the Trans Am Depot guys. I'm going to guess that it will be focused on turning Camaro's into T/A's.

Looks cool in the commercial. I saw some old T/A's featured as well.

No matter how good the show is, they'll be people complaining about it. They'd complain if they were hung with a new rope.

Judging by the one photo in the link above, it will be about building cars off a new Camaro platform. In the Yenko show referenced earlier, at least they're using '69 Camaros for their recreations (although I don't know if they use actual 1969 cars or new reproduction bodies.)

So really it's a long infomercial for Transmaro's? Well that's one way to get them noticed I guess.
