year one bandit trans am?

does anyone have one of these cars on order? its expensive but the look and the performance is outstanding. i believe its every bit as good if not better than all those new gt500 eleanor recreations running around.

The Ban III includes a 515-horse dry-sump LS7 7.0 liter engine, and upgrades include a 605-horse dry-sump LS7, or a monster 8.8 liter (540-inch) Pontiac V8 making over 650 horsepower. A 5-speed manual is the only transmission offered on the Ban III. Suspension consists of the Ban II’s tubular front subframe, rack-and-pinion steering, and four-link rear with adjustable coil-overs on each corner. Chassis reinforcements include integrated subframe connectors and a four-point roll bar with safety harnesses. Brakes are huge Baer Racing 6-piston calipers with 14-inch two-piece rotors front and rear. The Ban III offers a level of performance rarely seen in a street-legal vehicle, and is designed specifically for experienced drivers.

The muscle car lives!!! East bound and down!!! If it wasn't $100,000 i'd be all on it. The 18 inch snow flakes are the best part. Year One is going to sell all the new parts off the new badit TA's, so i just might be building one, seeing that i already have a ls6 and t-56 sitting in the garage. Punch that bad boy out and i'd have 2 TA's that are a force to be recond with
