Viper or Camaro

I have been reading the new Road & Track (I dont really like them all that much) and I noticed the comp. viper. The car has alot of features that the third gen has. If you look at the fron end w/ the grill and the two lights on the bottom and the headlights it looks alot like a rounded 3rd gen, also the rear is alot like ours. If they never built the 4th gen, and no one ever saw a viper before, it might pass as the next thing up after the 3rd gen (aside form the v/10). Anywho I was thinking that the rear and front carbonfiber underbody pans on the viper could work on the 3rd gen. Watcha' think?

If you stare at this picture long enough, when the light hits it just right, if you kinda squint your eyes and use an open mind... maybe look at it in the dark or use your imagination a little bit... stare at it from the right angle and tilt your head to the right, this kinda looks like a thirdgen Firebird. I mean, it's got like, headlights... and wheels, and an engine, and stuff.

i can kinda see what u mean...with the lines of the side window, b pillar, and hatch, but thats it for me... the placement of everything infront is similar to that of a thirdgen camaro, but even more similar to the previous viper .
i dunno, i guess that there are similar traits, but this comparison never struck me when i was looking at the new viper...the one that bothered me was the fact that the headlights look so much like those on the honda s2000
