A link posted on another thread about whether 1st gen Pontiac Firebirds were fitted with Chevy motors reminds me of the brilliant book Muscle Car Confidential, by Joe Oldham. In it he tested a new '68 Firebird PFST (Sprint Turismo). The car sat quite low, as there were possible plans to homologate some parts from it for the Trans-Am racing Firebirds, so it had to have a Trans-Am style road racing ground hugging stance to make that connection. Oldham he took it along to the local street racing (illegal drag racing) one evening to see what the racers all thought. They felt the car sat too low. They built their cars to sit tall on their suspension, like a drag car. Looking at the Camaro above from the Bobby And Rose flick, it too sits very low, which also makes me think it was possibly built originally for track racing, as it didn't follow the street trends of the time.
