GM is trying to build up hype and awareness against these new legislations. I worked in the tonawanda plant for a while and they sent around letters and talked about them at department wide meetings like they will lead to the death of the american auto industry. They really don’t want to spend the money on R&D, if they even have any money to spend. ---

No it won’t be the end of muscle cars, as they are a small volume compared to the high volume cars, what it will hopefully mean is the end of giant pickups and SUV’s used to commute in. I’m all for the return of small fun cars. And cars designed to run exclusively ethanol will NOT get worse mileage, they will get better mileage and have more power because they can run higher compression than gas engines. It’s only when you run ethanol in engines designed for gas that you get worse mileage. ---

> [@nelstoys](#): > > Im sorry corvettes are not muscle cars they are sports cars. Muscle cars are big detroit steel and mopar hit the nail on the head back in the day. Camaros and Mustangs where never muscle to me, more a sport car. From chevy came the chevelle/monte carlo and from ford came the galaxy/torino. Big heavy and fast = muscle. Agreed with everything except for the idea that camaros, mustangs aren’t muscle. ---

Come on Nick, you should know better. Sports cars = 2 seaters. I’d never consider a Camaro or Mustang as a sports car. I would consider them a muscle car. So your Challenger isn’t a muscle car then 😃 ---
