No offense... but the only reason Chevy 'shared' the FBody line as b/c GM didn't want Pontiac's design to kill the Corvette (which it would have)... not only that but during the 3rd/4th gen redesign stage Pontiac did their model first and the Chevy guys made the Camaro from that design.... so by the end of this whole run (and through the 70s when the Bird outsold the Camaro, before Pontiac was forced to shove SBCs in their cars) you gotaa ask, who shared the platform w/ who?Originally posted by BackFyr+Mar 27 2004, 08:48 PM--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (BackFyr @ Mar 27 2004, 08:48 PM)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'> <!--QuoteBegin-posaune@Mar 27 2004, 10:34 AM
Chevy shared the f-body for 35 years and these kappas will look much different then the camaro/firebird ever did.
(BTW I love both the Camaro and Birdy, I am a member of a FBody club... just stickin up for my car a bit... please do't take offense posaune) [/b][/quote]
none taken.
The pontiac banshee was designed after the soon to be released new corvette. The pontiac would not have killed the vette. GM did not want a knock-off of the vette.
