Pontiac is a brand that died while most of us watched its final, agonizing moments. After years of badge engineering and somewhat lowly showroom offerings, it went the way of the Dodo. Along with it went the Trans Am name, which is really unfortunate because it was pretty much the Camaro’s brother. Be it the better or worse brother is up to debate, but no doubt it left a very unique impact on how we felt about GM’s more bulbous muscle car.A shop in Florida misses those old days, and as such has created the modern successor. It’s not an official Pontiac, even though it looks like one. It’s not a screaming chicken either, even though it has one painted on the hood. What it is, is a “thank you” to the cars that came before it. A 7.4 liter, supercharged “thank you.”
