So my cousin in North Carolina sends me this e-mail the other day, saying that they used his 1969 Judge as a comparison car in a New/Old photo shoot for the new Gto...anyway, here's what he sent:
The judge squared off with the all new gto judge prototype at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend.Although it is the only one in exsistence at this time this one of a kind supercharged monster is now going into production as of this week.it will carry a full gm warranty and will be available with many options including a twin turbo ls7.Pictures from this shoot will be on the transam depot sight in the near future. Just another thrill of a life time for me being the creator of this exotic beast (the 69).I can't believe that they were thanking me for the opportunity to shoot with my car.
I realize it's not a Canadian car...the 2012 model, but I'm pretty sure the 69 is....enjoy.

So is this a Camero conversion or an actual production car. Was there not a Camero conversion Trans Am. Never the less very cool. Which would have more horses supercharged or twin turbo?

The front end reminds me of a cross between an endura GTO and a '67-8 bird. Kinda wild looking but I like the execution except the hood scoops are a bit over the top for me. They should follow the GTO or Firebird 400 look more closely and tone the scoops down so they integrate into the design better and don't look like they're stuck on.
Pretty neat overall - thanks for posting.
Wonder how much that conversion costs over the price of a regular Camaro?
Great photo shoot, it's always an honour when your car is picked as the Hero Car.
New car looks great too.
That front end and hood scoops have been done before, looks like my 67 Custom Firebird Hot Wheel that was the in the initial release of Hot Wheels back in 67/68.

I like the idea but not liking a few styling Q'S. Not liking that style of scoops and they sit way to far back. should be more forward. Also the front spoiler looks like a cow catcher on a train. To big and should be trimed down a notch. But nice try.
Yes, Pontiac is dead. Along with this car. What a waste of manpower. One awfull ugly car. I'd rather take the bus. Or maybe take this to one of Tinys smash em up derbies!!
I think any grill but the stock Camaro grill would look better on this car. The front of the new Camaros are cheap looking. They should at least RS them from the factory.
I was looking at it and trying to make myself like it when I said that.
I'm still looking at it and still trying to make myself like it, but I'm not having any success I'm afraid!
Ditto.

I will take a 69 any day of the week.Does anyone have a pic of the 200? judge ( trans am ) that was in HOT ROD or one of those mags that some one had done.
Personally, I like the way the car looks. I like it better than the Camaro. Just my opinion... I think whoever built this did a nice job. I doubt it will be in production anytime soon.
That being said, I will not be going out of my way to buy one. I just couldn't afford it... So the point is moot.

That car is friggin' awesome. GM hit the jackpot. Who knew they could outdo the Camero. Bring back the GTO!!!
