Looks as if the long anticipated muscle car war between the big three is now down to a two horse race (sorry about the play on words). Kind of makes the coming release of the Camaro rather anticlimax without an SS version being offered (if this is truly the case). Seems as if the Camaro may be the first victim of the “bailout”…..
Perhaps those of you planning on waiting for the 2011 6.4 liter Challenger should reconsider waiting………..just a thought…

It says "with the exception of" the Camaro SS, GM won't be producing any more high performance cars. That would infer the Camaro is still on the way.

I would say that where theres a will theres a way. They have been there before. 60s and 70s. Americans are reziliant and will find a way. Theres always the aftermarket and tuners. So this is just an adjustment at the factory level... but still sad to see it happen.

That is real smart of our Goverment . If I was looking for fuel effecent car. I'd keep my Mazda MX-5 GT . 170 hp 35 mpg . 6 speed. The inports will alway's be a leg up as far as mpg and little box's . That have good quality. The last GM car I owned was junk . And Chevy didn't give a you know what. Trying to support the American worker . New Chrysler 300C , Dodge Ram Quad Cab. 4x4 and my Challenger R/T since 2006 . I'm happy with it . If gas hadn't come down . I would have purchased a small Toyota for mpg. And still keep the Challenger . Beside's the rag heads will raise the price of oil . To make the same proffit even if our car's get 50 mpg. Nuclear Power to charge up electric cars is the only thing to put a real dent in the oil deal. And that comes from a friend that has been drilling oil well's since 1980 .

WHen the Gov't sinks its claws into the automotive industry (which just happened) then the V-8 will eventually be history.

Get em now while you can. Guns too!
