then you're proving my point. the 3/s is a great car to own because people don't know what it is. if your car can be ID'd by the average 8th grader, then it's not unique. the only reason people say camaro/firebird with our cars is because that's about as close as they can conceive of. honestly, it doesn't FIT any molds; which is why i've never heard anyone make a declarative statement about a stock-bodied 3/s as being a "GM product" with any confidence. it's always an interrogative.

i'll never understand the "blend in" segment. buy a "classic" (and i use that term loosely) car, fix it up, paint it like everyone else's, go just as slow as everyone elses, etc.

then again, i'm a guy who would take a 928 over a 911 any day of the week; regardless of which 911 it was.
