GT owners, Ever noticed the GT top?

Have your ever noticed the top of the GT looks very simular to the 70's Porsche 911? Right down to the vents over the rear window? Took a photo of just the top half of my GT when veiwed sitting on my front porch, car looks like two cars in one the 70's Prosche 911 and the 70's Corvette Stingray.

Wouldn't suprise me if not the same mold, gee that would mean that the glass and top could be used on a 911? Sure increase the value of the top half of a GT for parts! Don't have a Porsche 911 to do side by side measurements, but I find it interesting none the less!

Regards,
Rick
