Chevrolet Panther
Hey Al,
There's rumors going around about an all electric or a hybrid electric Camaro coming out. With the division over the feelings about a Camaro as an electric car or hybrid what do you think about the idea of going "old school" and pulling the original intended name for the Camaro up for an electric/hybrid sports car? Call the car the Chevrolet Panther. In the adds paint it black as night, not metallic, just a deep gloss black. Have the car quietly cruising through the streets of Detroit or wherever late at night, almost as if it was stalking its prey. Talk about how it's stealthy, sleak, and then pan to it launching hard racing through the streets smoking the tires, and doing what a muscle car does best. Then emphasize POWERFUL. "It's a new type of muscle car for a new era of muscle...The Chevrolet Panther". Then blend a panther staring at the camera over the new car.
The reason I suggest this is instead of throwing new, completely different technology at a nameplate that has been synonymous with big block V8's, big cams, drag strip eating, pavement pounding, fuel guzzling, superchargers whining, muscle car mayhem, is because it really doesn't fit the mold. Eventually gas/diesel powered vehicles will become a thing of the past, but why not let them live out their days in glory AND bring in the newest must have, latest technology, next chapter in muscle car history vehicle and start an era like the GTO/409 V8/COPO vehicles with a new car that will go down in the history books as being the first of its kind?
Just food for thought. Thanks for taking the time to read through my opinion.
