Default Some points to ponder...

http://motortrend.com/roadtests/coup...05_fordshelby/
This here is an artical on the new Shelby 500KR coming out next year, list price will be around 40K.
This car is one bad Mother packing around 500hp and 12 second quarters with high gears. (Like to see it with some 4. something gearing).
Anyway, the new car handles, runs, brakes, ect, a heck of alot better that the 60's model and you can get it for a quater of the cost and you are not afraid to drive it or even beat on it because guess what...It has a factory warranty ... So when this car comes out will the demand for the 60's models deminish some? I never thought I would say this but I would buy one . Now if Chevy came out with a carbon copy of the camaro 69's which you could get a 500hp 302 or LS7 for 40 grand who here would line up to get one? I personally believe they couldnt make them fast enough... Charley figured they would cost around 80 grand, but Ford is doing it for half that and there bonds are trading like Junk so GM could definatley do it better and cheaper. Ford is increasing production on the Mustang 70 percent next year. GM just ran a pole through AOL on there new 06 model line and only 16 percent of the public liked them and over 84 percent didnt. GM better wake up soon. There high management team was born around the great depression and have no clue...Maybe if they keep rolling out unwanted cars we can get together and buy all the stock when it trades on the pinks and do it the right way...Gee whiz, what a concept, an fast sporty car. who would of guessed...I hear the Aztec is on sale right now, we can buy that, all hop in and drive to the Ford dealarship and get a real car... If I was a GM employee I would be very worried right now...The layoff's are just beginning...

I saw an artist's concept of the "new Camaro" a few months back in one of the magazines. It was strongly reminiscent of the '69 model. If anyone else remembers it and could post the picture I'd like to see it again. I could try to look it up in my 'library' but the car would be in production, discontinued and the guys at SCW would be doing restorations on them before I found it!

(PS. Mark, That's not the one I was thinking of, but close.)

66 L-34,Way cool looking car.
SamLBInj,Been there,done that about being scared about losing your job.I worked at the #1 office furniture maker in the world for 7 1/2 yrs [not very long]when 9/11 came and dropped the bottom out of the market.Way over chiefed for the indians they had working.Been gone for 3yrs. they are finally starting to make money again after cutting the work force in half.People with 18-20yrs are now on 3rd shift and are low seniority.That is the place you went to work to retire.
Back to the thread.Pull your heads out of your $#%!! GM or you wont be around for much longer.Build something that people want,and they will break the doors down trying to buy one.Enough said.
Kendall
