Any enthusiast could easily spot and identify the car without even having to hit rewind. The car is interesting or relevant because not only is it a well known American icon, but it's also the third separate F-body (Camaro/Firebird) to appear in the movie (coincidence, or did someone on the production crew have a thing for these cars?). Additionally it's of the same vintage as the famous "KITT" from the TV show Knight Rider. -- Last edit: 2013-01-09 10:57:45 (Ford_Guy)
