cookie cutter cars are more easily produced at a higher profit, thus keeping alive the company to produce a few excellent vehicles for the people that care about more than A-B. Yes the Camaro and Firebird were the same engine and suspension and chassis from 82-02. the difference is the body parts, and the fact that they cam from GM for the purpose of being a firebird. 69-81 they had different engines and options based on what sub-model. Its the principle of it. Its the fact that GM DID NOT make a firebird and some nuthugger is going to use the same mentality you have to justify taking apart a camaro to put a body kit to make it look like a car that was an icon of American muscle. I feel the same way about the abomination as a vintage Ferrari owner feels about a Fiero with a body kit...its just NOT right
