What do you call a trans am car with a Iroc z nose??

EH whats up people?
Im starting a new project. Ive always loved the T/Am but, I hate the problems with the pop up head lights. the front end was in a small sheet metal accident so the front fenders &nose has to be changed. so far Ive changed the fenders & nose it looks good so far! the car is a 86 T/AM with disc brakes F/R, power everything with t-tops. After the conversion the car is going to be painted all black with no stickers are emblems!! now my question is what should I call this creation???? the word will be airbrushed on the rear bumper.
thanx,
njdaewoo

To quote a certain Nicolas Cage in Con Air, "Ugly all day long"

Sorry, I'm just no big fan of the third gen camaro, and really don't like it being grafted onto the fair firebird

I've seen a Camaro with a Firebird nose. It kinda said "look at me from the rear, Camaro!! But, look at me from the front, Bird!! I can't decide what I am!!!" But it was a cool idea. Lets see some pics of the work in progress!!!!!!!

i think its an ugly idea, and even someone who likes the idea would also point out that the fenders wont match since the tops of the wheel wells flare out on the camaro unlike the ta

dude,the banshee name sounds cool,but if you look in the dictionary you'll see why pontiac engineers decided not to use that name.I read that story in "pontiac performance" or "hotrod" one of those,can't remember.

name ideas: FIROC , cam-am , cambird , camarbird , chevtiac , mutant-maro , inbred-firechicken ,

Well what do u think? The car is a Pontiac TA so the Pontiac words must be first.

Sorry, but this has become more of a non-tech issue. So I'm closing it.
