should've waited for the camaro maybe? since its the closest to a pontiac firebird...but then again we're talking about movie makers here...they were probably like "what muscle car is popular right now? shelby gt 500? ok we'll use that"...and then they'll probably find a way to trash it for "drama"...truth is only car nuts will probably care what car is used and we're like 0.00000000079% of the human race
