Here is a great article that you should read:

Here is a key quote:
"For many historians 1972 marked the death of the United States automotive industry. Safety features and fuel economy regulations strangled an industry already hurting from foreign imports and consumer tastes. That was the same year we re-elected Richard M. Nixon as president. It was also the last year someone walked on the moon. Coincidence? This was the death of our self-identity and our progress. That was what killed the auto industry, and in turn America. It was a death at the hands of stagnation and a culture that cared less about art and science and more about stuff."
Really now... Please do not make me get the 1975 issue of Car craft out where the headline "King Kong is alive and well on Long Island" where the Goverment came after Poor Joel Rosen on Emissions violations and put him out of the supercar business all for building V8 vegas.
Joel Rosen was running a speed shop.
We have done this all before. If we do not learn from history we are doomed to repeat it.
