Why the hell would I want a smaller car, almost 370Z size? Damn what is it with the Euro mindset lately...I do not WANT a smaller "muscle" car. Big, bad, beefy....please GM do not turn the Camaro into a Euro-wannabe to compete if that is the direction Ford is going.
CAFE standards. Auto manufacturers know that no muscle owner is going to want to go backwards in terms of HP, so weight reduction is really the best option to satisfy both the customers and the feds.

Fine with me too. Pony cars used to be a lot smaller anyway, so a reduction in length wouldn't be the end of the world.
