Look familiar? It only made it to pre-production though. GM realized they were shooting themselves in the foot with it.
That was back in the day. I was referring to late 80's. Corvette ran GM. Everyone bowed to Corvette at that time. Thats why corvette never gave the F-bodies the same spec engine. It was always de-tuned at that time. They were making sure that Corvette was KING. When the fiero started getting it right, Corvette (CHEV) screamed bloody murder and the GM top brass took note. Pontiac was never forgiven. Corvette was 5yrs ahead of their program and were already working on the C5 program and didn't want Pontiac to embarass them with a lighter and cheaper performance car.
