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

not quite the three rotor aerovette... rather as the description stated, an SA with a "corvette" like body kit. for comparison purposes, i found the real aerovette with a google search:

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.
