Rear mounted Wankel mated to a rear mounted transmission... longitudinaly & low for great center of gravity. Give the body a sleek 3rd gen. RX-7 look & call it an RMX-7 or something like that. Make twin-turbo optional. Now THAT is a true 911 fighter.

I for one have never and will never drive drunk. The SADD demos aside waht else gets the same kind of visual impact for the buck. It's a serious problem and this is a pretty effective way of etching the realities of this kind of behavior into people's conscious.

Great post O'Shea! I just want to get this sucker roadworthy enough to drive it to the Worcester Summer Nats, throw 4 red gumdrops on the roof and do a huge burnout on the stands for all the crowd to see. Everytime I see this Ambulance I think of CHiPs. & thus an whole new inside joke is born.

MY 09 in CY 08 makes sense both in terms of the reality of rolling out ZETA & keeping with tradition... it will be the 40th Anniversary of the best Camaro model year ever. 9-teen-60-nine!

Freedom

When does the Aveo SS come out? Not every freekin Chevrolet model should be offered in SS trim.

I'd rather drive the scummiest 3rd gen. Camaro out there than a Camry with "rear-door delete". :wink: He lives in PA, not FL. A Motorcycle is a 2.5 season toy, not regular transportation in states that salt & sand the roads.

Don't forget the frog-eyes.

Back in Andover when working landscaping I dug up a part of the backyard that had not been touched since the late 50s... I discovered a valve stem out of some car from probably the 30s that was all pretty much looking like the Smokestacks on the Titainc in terms of corrosion & a great-condition silver spoon.

Same as I call my Q45 a Datsun I thought you would have given it to me... I was just trying to throw it down JDM-Style yo! I'm the O.G. of RWD Datsuns.

Sorry for the super-thick sarcasm... I just thought they might go out on a limb a bit and offer a really cool shade of blue or burgundy... not three shades of slate-gray. I think my original post made that clear. WhyTF offer three "colors" that are in reality just varying degrees of B&W. Those rims look about 0.00002% different from the ones on my old 1997 STS. We need more than this to combat the likes of BMW & Mercedes. The new coors sure SOUND different. Thunder Gray Gold Mist Sunset Blue

Oh I'm not saying a ZL1 Camaro with the LS7 would sell in big #s. make like 100 of them... or even 69 a year like the 1969s... it'll pretty much be a colector's item right from the time the sheetmetal is stamped... but even at $90,000 it would sell.

Style wise it's got all the Koreans, the Fit & Yaris over a barrell.

Yup.... not-so-damn-cheap looking economy cars like this one are rare on our shores. The Aveo, Malibu & Ion sedan look like @$$ compared to this. Even w/out the wide fender flares & ground effects.

Well... true, you got me there. However, maybe (actaully almost certainly) if Oldsmobile had built a nice RWD land-barge like the Infiniti Q45 back in the late 90s they might still be around. Instead they made a four door Toronado & a jelly-bean shaped Cutlass and effectively alienated 98% of their propective customers. Nice job GM. Within 10 years of the Cutlass being one of the best selling cars in the USA Oldsmobile tried to do a J-turn in the marketplace & dethrone Lexus as the new "Yuppie-wagon must have", now Buick is making the same damn mistake. Yes... go ahead & tell me how Geriatrics don't matter.

Yes... I agree. Transverse mounted motors & FWD suck. The FWD STS's North* makes a 2005 Impala or what have you seem downright accessible by comparison. In any case the stupidest thing about new VWs is that the ,otor on them is mounted well ahead of the front axles & therefore wayyy out front. Nice weight distribution.

Happy, HAPPY, hApPy & HAPPY birthday to alla-yous.

So when are they going to make regulation basketball nets 11 feet off the ground so 3-pointers & slam-dunks are a challenge again? Basketball is the only game where the final score looks like a telephone number.

This calls for a celebration. Long live RWD!!!

Flock of Seagulls!

I was going to say SMART because it has three or four lugnuts.

Never say never.... all the original ZL1s were made in 1969 Chevy made only two Corvettes but they produced 69 Camaros. They made 50 for the sake of homogulation and then 19 more were ordered by one of the famous sticker & emblem COPO dealers. I think it was NICKEY but it might have been Baldwin-Motion or even Berger. Or then again it might have even been Yenko. In any event... a lot of people *doomsayers* said we Camaro fans had our heads in the clouds and there would be no concept.. not ion 2006, or 2007 or probably ever. Those people woudl tell you an LS7 will never see production in a Camaro. I hope they like the taste of their own foot. :wink:

So very true XP... I just hope my eventual 59 Buick will get double digits... I got 11-14 in the Camaro most of the time so a 401 nailhead or whatever draging around an extra 1000 pounds or so will not do any better. I think gas will stabilize at $3.00, it's still too much but not enough to piss off the masses to the point of it effecting politics and most car purchases.

It's depressing that we will never know.

I loved the M-Roadster off the previous gen. Z3. This however is just very fugly. And it's got NO excuse to have a B-piller. I'll take a Solstice coupe when it comes out.... hopefully that's a HT.
