Default RE: The next next Chevy Camaro

Welcome to the 80s all over again, where the 80 mph speedometer ruled and the Metro was the standard. Very few cars with 150 + hp and tq ratings. In the 70s we have cars that had high hp and ignored any environment standards. Insurance companies come in and the government comes in and we have very low hp cars due to the restrictions and insurance.

Today, we have better technology, but the restrictions, government, gas prices and insurance may come back into play and the technology might not be advanced enough to keep up with all of it hence we go back to having small underpowered slow cars. Boy I can't wait. The twin turbo this and that sounds find and dandy, for anyone who enjoys a whiny sounding car, but I sure would miss that V8 sound. And, that twin turbo stuff is assuming that the technology can keep up with those emission standards.

Another ten to twenty years for technology to catch up again just in time for more restrictions. Oh well, it was a fun run while it lasted.
