Sadly, Pontiac died a quiet death this year, taking along the possibility of a new Trans Am, or even a Firebird, with it. That hasn't stopped the aftermarket world from bringing a new Firebird to the masses, since the OG Pontiacs were just Camaros with different bumpers anyway.
Following the lead of Kevin Morgan, Lingenfelter Performance Engineering is gearing up to offer it's own version of the Trans Am. And this is the kicker: Lingenfelter's version is even going to resurrect the 455 V8.
While the 455 isn't a Pontiac motor, it is a 655-horsepower engine is based on an aluminum GM LS-series block that's bored and stroked to equal the desired 455 cubes and capped with ported and polished LS7 heads.
Lingenfelter will debut the car next month at SEMA, when we expect to have more details and pricing.
