As on the other post...profits [[if Obama allows any) come home.

"As on the other post...profits [[if Obama allows any) come home."

So... the answer is move ALL production out of the U.S. where there is cheaper labor and as long as the profits come back to Detroit the auto industry will be OK?

What do you think? If they are profitable, they will not be begging for taxpayer bailouts and threatening bankruptcy. Although down/rightsized, they will still employ hundreds of thousands of Americans directly and indirectly. Even better, If people saw the wisdom of breaking the unions, there would be less need to outsource such that only the very low level jobs would go to China/India/Mexico/Brazil...etc which is good for both us in the form of lower costs, and them in the form of jobs and wages far better than they would have had otherwise.

My favorite front clip of all Camaro generations, this example first generation '69 Camaro 396 RS/SS w/ the hidden headlights, looks so damn aggressive..LOL!!

Never cared for the vinyl tops that GM put on so many vehicles 69-74 though.

My favorite rear deck and taillights were on the '71-73 second-generation Camaros, the Chevelles also had dual circular taillights, looks like Chevy borrowed from the first and second generation Camaros to create the 2010 model. Unfortunately it appears that the Pontiac division of GM will be no more, so fuggetabout any future GTOs, Firebirds, or Trans Ams...

Even though cliched and part of the pop culture. c/o Burt Reynolds, the 1978 T/A with the screaming chicken decal has to hold a place in the heart of anyone old enough to have been a part of the phenomenon at the time.

Red eyes, black pupils. Grrrrrr.

**Sstashmoo** · June-29-09, 11:10 PM

I'm thinking about getting one of those.

**Ray1936** · June-29-09, 11:32 PM

If I can't haul a couple of 4 x 8 sheets of plywood home in a vehicle, I ain't interested in it.

Take a test drive - you will enjoy it. There is a significant waiting list to purchase the 2010 Camaro.

remember the Turbo T/A? they had the screaming chicken supposedly breathing fire on a rather ugly driver's side "power bulge." a guy from car & driver wrote that "if I had an ugly bulge like that, I'd throw up too"

The only things I don't like on the new Camaro are the visibility and the "shark gills" on the rear fenders [[wasn't that originally a stylistic thing on the first firebirds?)

There were 2 turbo TAs I think...one in the eighties, and another in the nineties. One was Gen 2, the other Gen 3 [[now we are on Gen 4).

**rb336** · June-30-09, 03:52 PM

this was an early 80s version, i think

Ray, I don't think I've ever hauled one, much less a couple, sheets of plywood in a vehicle.

I believe it was, in both instances, a turbo V6, that later came to fame in the Buick GN and GNX.

Im not really a car guy but my step Dad was. By the early 90s he was head of production for Camaro and was bringing home some badass proto types. This was before GM forbid friends and family from using the company cars but all the good ones had M plates so I couldnt drive them by myself anyway. He did let me drive one that had a roll cage, 4 point restraints, nitros and a bored out block. It apparently did 0-60 in just over 4 seconds. I didnt get to the 4th gear out of the six before my little brother was screaming from the back seat to SLOW DOWN, STTOOOOOPP! That was fun. He also flew for the Air Force Reserves on weekends and let me have his regular company cars while he was gone, which were often IROC Camaros. I didnt realize how good I had it. Just had to do a little bragging about him.
