ive had a few drinks, little buzz going. just noticed this and it got me thinking, when did GM stop making a Corvette and Dodge with the Viper? What sports car is Ford making that you are talking about with the retro look? I haven't seen or heard of one

Can you clearify this or are you honestly calling a Mustang and Camaro sports cars? God I hope not, that is just silly and you classified them incorrectly. Those are pony cars... The Corvette and Viper, now those are sports cars.

Yes i agree 150% but they also have to build them affordable , so someone making 16.00 or so an hour can afford one. If it will look anything like the one in transformers it should be an awesome car .Like i say it doesnt have to be able to drive its self so maybe a few less gadgets would be ok . I find imho that the more wires u have the more chance of a screwup , guess i'm old fashioned (kiss) Later bake

Ok i thought i had heard on the news or read on the caw website that this was so cause of lower health can costs in canada cause i guess the cost of health care in the states is retarded . ya & to make a long story short i bought a78 Z off my buddy and put in a chev rearend, olds T350, & buick 455 . This is what i had on hand at the time & money was tight so in all this went never did change over to chevy running gear cause this is a bit different and it works well.
