What the ****?

I'm not into origami Firebirds, but it's notable that it's all steel, imo.

Nonetheless... What the ****?

Why not? I'm not much of a fan of the outcome, but I'm a big fan of chasing ones dreams. I've seen a lot worse.

C'mon I know I can't be only one that wants to get this and make it a really fast track day or autocross car.............because beating people with it would be fun.

Pontiac Cyberbird cheeky

I feel like it would be far better...or less bad...if the nose and tail weren't so tall.

Front reminds me of some of the newest BMWs, not that that is a good thing.

Maybe a little bit  cool in a "somebody made that" kind of way. That's a lot of work to put into a V6 auto GM Fbody.

Not my cup of tea, but credit where credit is due...

At least it is finished and being driven about.  Most of these projects are partially built and left rusting in a field.

It would look better dropped about 2 inches with a bit more tire.

Good on the Firechicken owner for doing his/her thing, but much more interested in the Renault. Never thought I'd say that...

I like it. I've always thought that generation of Firebird was ugly. This is a definite improvement.

I don't hate that. At all. I'd finish its Cyberpunk transformation.

Right there with you.  My first thought was wow I am all steel body. My 2nd through is how much putty is in that thing?

I see some C7 Corvette at the tail, but the front is a mystery.
