I suppose that HPI is just some company that copies other peoples' designs, eh? more to the point, the Firestorm was probably in the late stages of development when the GT2 came out, so any resemblance to IT is either completely coincidental, or you just can't tell the differences between two different stadium trucks.
He he..... I bet that is HPI's story anyway. After building a GT2 a couple of months ago, I must say they are extremely close to each other in design and layout. There was more going on here than coincidence.
