I'd rather see Ford get a hold of the Corvette than Chrysler or the Japs. If Ford treated the Corvette like the GT40, I think it would be okay. Ford doesn't really have a sports car either, so I can see them picking up the Corvette in the very, very, very remote possibility that it came down to that.

The Camaro would probably go the way of the dinosaurs though. Most companies don't think that muscle/sports is a good way to spend R&D funding right now, and those that do have already produced muscle/sports cars; acquiring the Camaro would just create in-brand competition.
