This is an F-body with a Ferrari body package. I believe it's a Firebird, not a T/A. Anyone have any info on it?

I can't argue that it's ugly.. I think it is too.. I can't pinpoint it, but I think the tail is too long, for one thing.
Anyway, it's unique, that's for sure. I can't tell if those are GTA wheels or not. Looks like a Firebird though because of the missing aero/vent hole on the front quarter panel.

To tell you the truth, I wouldn't mind the frenched in vents on the back of my doors into the rear quarter. Might spice up a third gen?
