Has any one seen this car before?
I would love to see more of this car and learn more about it. Unfortunately the site I found this pic on has no info about it other than it having 1100hp.

It looks like photoshop to me. It has a very "fake" look to it. I don't know, maybe it's my eyes, or it's just a really crazy paint they used on that air intake.

I'm not a huge fan of matte black finishes. Some cars can pull it off better than others, though. With that said, this car looks fantastic! I'd certainly like to see more photos of it too.

Re: Has any one seen this car befor?
The car is real, and its pretty killer. It has a matte black wrap, D2 forged wheels, High cube small block with twin 76?mm's. I just read a post about in on Luxury for play forum. I will try and find a link...
I don't care for the rear bumper and side skirts... other than that, its a Billy Bad ***!

Re: Has any one seen this car befor?
Saw it before, still bad ****! Only thing I don't like is the rear bumper it doesn't match the rest, especially from the side view
Re: Has any one seen this car befor?
Is it just me or does anyone else think the ground effects are tacky?? They are a bit too overdone for my taste. The rear bumper is ugly and the sides look like they had z28 ground effects molded onto GTA ground effects. The front I guess isnt too bad and seems to be functional to cool the intercooler. Some of the stuff done to the interior is a bit "boy racer" for my taste too.
The rest of the car is pretty bad *** that engine looks great

Re: Has any one seen this car befor?
agreed, ground effects (especially rear bumper), and rear hatch glass deflector thing is the only eye sore. i always thought the trans ams already had a beautiful sleek high speed looking body in the first place. he kinda disrupt it

Re: Has any one seen this car befor?
Thanks BADNBLK. It was really the front end, the wheels, the engine, and the stance that caught my eye. And I love the front turn signals. I have to agree with others on the side skirts. And the only thing I like on the tail is the lights. That being said, there will always be things on someone elses custom car we will want to change. Still an awsome car in my eyes.

Re: Has any one seen this car befor?
Definitely not photoshop, I've seen this car (almost positive it's the same car) years back on cardomain before the rap, this guy has a lot of money and time spent on it. I have some pic's of it years back somewhere, if I find them I'll post them.

That is one bad ride, but tacky at the some time. There is a ton of money and time in it for sure.

I think I know the one your talking about. It had the same wheels as well as the carbonfiber splitter on the front and sides but was otherwise stock appearing right?

Re: Has any one seen this car before?
Really? It's all good under the hood...but then there's the rest of the car...like a Knight Rider, F&F, tacky conglomeration. I'm suprised there's no flux capacitor.

Re: Has any one seen this car befor?
and the numbers grow 
yeah i noticed the badge but never knew it wasn't a gta, still a badass car, too bad he couldn't really drive the thing
nothing against him, just too much power to be used on a track

Nope, the Polly Motorsport is actually a TA and not a GTA.
Though he did stick a GTA nose badge on it. It was built from a 1986 TA.

Re: Has any one seen this car befor?
Forgive my ignorance but what is that body piece that goes over the top of the hatch glass called? Not sure if I like that or not. May come down to price and availability.

Re: Has any one seen this car before?
I like everything except the matt paint. Those matt type paint jobs remind me of cars that people used to drive around in primer because they did not have the money to have get a decent paint job. Gloss black would pull it all together. Under the hood is just too cool!

Re: Has any one seen this car before?
Looks killer in the front, but very ugly in the back. the bumper makes it look fat. I don't like the the pipes either. the inside looks great, im not a fan of the steering wheel but looks great over all.
