Kind of sad to see threads like this. There must have already been dozens of threads like this already. But to me when people cry "CAFE is the end of V8's", to me that's saying you don't believe in American ingenuity and you believe some damn smart people at GM are too stupid to come up with a car that's fast and could adhere to whatever new standards are coming. And to me, that's pretty depressing.
I mean, look at the '69 Camaro SS and look at the 2010 SS. The original got maybe 12 mpg and ran maybe a 14.5 quarter. Our 2010 SS will get what, 22-24 MPG and run a 13 flat. The 2010 SS is faster in a straight line, faster around a turn, stops harder, gets better fuel economy, and is light years safer than the original. So, do I think GM could build a car that gets 48 MPG and runs a 12.5 or something ridiculous? Uh, yes. You guys keep doubting Americans, but I'll keep believing in them.
