Not necessarily. The ice caps are essentially gigantic glaciers. And if they are melting, that that is the equivalent of glacial retreat. But glacial retreat isn't governed explicitly by temperature. Its a combination of temperature and snowfall. And contrary to popular belief, there isn't much annual snowfall in the arctic, its classified as a desert. With these small snowfall levels, a difference of a couple inches has a significant effect.

try to stay on topic before turning this into another mustang vs. camaro thread.

I knew it was a matter of time before we brought up the 03-04 cobras. Wow ford is really impressive, I mean they made a supercharged v8 that can beat a nonsupercharged v8.


Oh and btw I think it would be a drivers race between a stock 03-04 cobra and a new ss with the edge still going to the NA motor.

Good try though.

Not true. The headlights are from the Escalade.

I'm more making the point GM builds the presidential limo. It could just as easily be all Buick architecture and it would make little differance.
