Might have helped if they redesigned rather than axed the F-body to compete with the Mustang

[Chode]

the only redesign they could do to keep up with the Mustang was to Retrostye it (ford did outstanding job by the way), cause the standard Z/28 OWNED all but the exotic Horses... and they cost twice as much.

that and the insuance companies just go wild over the Z/28 and Trans-Am cause they'll do over 150MPH... my 94Z is on it's third carrier. most of the kids that can afford them can't get them insured, or if they can... they can't afford it

How silly, put down the bong and step away from the key board. GM's problems are beyond one "throw back in time car". Ford has problems selling the Mustang without incentives. Ford makes the car for the car magazines to act silly over. But in the end even they still give car of the year to a MODERN product.

So explain to me why GM should try to compete with ancient technology, on an ancient floor plan layout? If the Mustang were that good the Japs or the Germans would be worrying about it.

Trust me, they are not.... as rightly GM isn't. Glad you do not sit on the board or anywhere in their product development division. I do think though that Mattell needs some soft plastic, snap together kit car ideas..

Drop them a note. Good luck. Okay, return to the bong.

Your right, they should hire that "Foos" guy of Hotrodding fame.....dig out a 1968 Camaro, modernize it offer a fuel thrifty aluminum small block in it, step back and watch the stampede form at car dealerships across the country.

Instead, we get rolling abortions like the Avalanche.

What a missed opportunity.
