You know, you bring up an intersting point that's been stewing in my mind ever since I heard this.

I know it was his job - but I wonder how Mr. Lutz feels about this. Bitter Sweet might be an understatement. That was the highest-profile Hi-Po car he got together for Chrysler, wasn't it? And now he's done it again, by approving ZR-1. Which you notice was mentioned as a player in the death of the snake. Given the financial situation that Chrysler's in, they can't top the ZR-1.

Heh, he changed teams, and killed one of his brainchildren with a better one!
