Couldn't find the article. They basically took a bandit transam and revamped to keep up with modern cars, yet still keeping the classic look. Its pretty awesome IMO.

Alright, looked on the computer. That's pretty nice, but nothing abnormal. Year One is just taking all the normal upgrades and putting them into a prepackaged car.

Contrary to what he says, though, that isn't a supercar in any sense of the word.

Ah the "Burt Reynolds" Trans Am

Well any turn key pro-touring car is going to set you back 150-200k easily. At that point it's no longer anything like the original car so it doesn't count. And it doesn't come with a warranty or any sort of reliability or crash rating whatsoever.

I've seen vehicles with updated chassis and drive train built for less. So yeah I think it could be done.

If I had $250k to throw around, I'd buy this thing today. Of course I could afford to buy several other cars, but that isn't the point. Look at this thing!
I can agree with that. If I had that kind of money I probably wouldn't be worried about the cost of the car vs building one. I'd have a Torino and the Equus.
