No way, dude. The Camaro is forever.

More "government is our friend" stuff like this, and we'll be well on our way to third-worldism.
If the Democrats have their way we’ll all be in rickshaws by 2025.
Trabants here we come.
I think Chevrolet should simply come out with a fairly conventional but lightweight 9/10 scale replica of a ‘57 Chevy (Maybe with a hottish V-4) and I think it would sell. Not a solution to anything, just a car folks would buy.
Thank the ‘Rats & Rino’s for CAFE and the demise of classic American Road Car.
Don’t worry. We will all have our bicycles and and old mopeds for transport soon enough. No worries. The government knows best.
Word to the wise.
Get into the laminated playing-cards-in-spokes aftermarket add-on biz now!
You do realize that sooner or later muscle cars would go the way of the dinosaur anyway-—right? It’s the height of stupidity to pay so much money just to be able to go 0 to 60 in 4 seconds.
I used to have a 1966 GTO with a 6.5 liter (389 CID) V8 and a carburetor, and it got this kind of mileage or better. What gives?
Ford and GM should make 2.0 liter versions of the Mustangs and Camaros and then have upscale versions with V-6 and V-8’s........
Except most of the old mopeds will have to be pulled when the ban on two-stroke engines comes into effect.
muscle cars are part of american culture
does anyone really NEED any car? a fully automatic rifle? a glock with a 50 round drum mag? a motorcycle capable of 200mph? an 8 bedroom house? an SUV with room for 9? all the DVDs, VHSs, books, magazines, knick knacks, pictures, etc cluttering our houses?
for 99% of the people that own any of these things, and a million others like them, there is no NEED to own them. we own them because we like them and because we CAN.
Our own government is going to kill the American auto industry.
...”Those of us who still have jobs and have been able to maintain the same income we had a year or so ago are few, thankful — and nervous.”...
Huh? The unemployment rate is 5% - near-total employment traditionally. What is this putz talking about? Gasoline at $5/gal would go a long way toward forcing conservation - a good thing in itself.
Intervention by a democrat congress and President in the business of the oil companies would be disastrous and un-American. Exactly what one would expect from the democrat party.
“I used to have a 1966 GTO with a 6.5 liter (389 CID) V8 and a carburetor, and it got this kind of mileage or better.”
Remembers friend who bought a new 66 with the 3x2 carb setup. Gave me keys for test ride. Went through the gears from a standstill and returned the keys with trembling knees. What a beast.
But, you see, it doesn't matter what you or I want to buy. The government gets to decide that for us.
Those Tri-Power equipped GTOs would jump and shout, for sure!
Mine had the 4-barrel, but it still went pretty good.
