Kinda like the Friends episode when Joey says "I'm going to do the exact opposite of what you did to me"

lol cool find. It would be a collectors item that's 4 sure.

They have influenced each other. I think the FB has some GM Fbody (Camero / Firebird) influence in the exterior design. And even targeted some of it's sports sales market.

Too bad GM just likes to rip off Toyota Celica headlights and scoop nowdays...

When I first saw how the top remained the same, it reminded me of F(D wanna)B or whoever that guy was that made the FD body fit a 1st gen.
