OK everybody,

We have something more important to discuss here.
Seems that the President is going to call for a
reduction in gas consumption over the next 10 years.


If they see how much gas our beloved muscle cars really eat
up, they might just try to take them away.

We better mobilize now!

This my friends may well be the biggest threat to our beloved muscle cars. You can bet a dem pres will push CAFE to the point that high HP cars can not be built. And God only knows what will happen to our cars and their value.

Ray,

If they go after HP oriented cars, then SUV's are also toast!
Hell, my Cobra gets better mileage than my SUV ( if I don't
punch it that is )

I would have to disagree. How much fuel do we use anyways? Let's see:

1. Start car in garage
2. Drive car onto trailer.
3. Drive car off trailer.
4. Drive car back onto trailer (with new trophy).
5. Drive car off trailer and back into garage.

Speaking for myself:
1. Start car in garage.
2. Drive to favorite stretch of no-traffic straight road.
3. Plant right foot firmly on the right pedal, watch tach climb to the red line.
4. Turn car around, repeat step 3.
5. Notice that the gas gauge is now 1/4 of a tank less than before Step 1.
Step 6. Return to garage with big grin on face.
Step 7. Call stock broker about more Sunoco shares.

This scenario better describes me

[SOM2001SS]

I am very frustrated with the whole fuel consumption/fuel mileage issue.
A report the other day said that the average fuel economy of new vehicles is the same now as it was 20 yrs ago!!!! WTF are the manufacturers doing?!? I can't believe they are building trucks and SUVs that weigh 6000 lbs and get nearly single digit gas mileage and worse yet people are buying them!!
My 400hp 2001 Camaro SS with 3.73 gears (and a 6-speed manual which is double overdrive) still gets almost 30 mpg on the highway.

Speaking for myself:

1. Start car in garage. (damn it was like 30 degrees saturday)

2. Sit in driveway until vehicle will idle at 1000rpm

3. Drive three blocks to 1/2 mile no-traffic straight road.

4. Try to convince reluctant passenger seatbelt adjustment is unimportant.

5. Plant right foot firmly on the right pedal, sidestep the clutch, watch tach idiot light come on and jam second gear.

6. Make split second decision to try third gear or go for the brake.

7. Hand passenger a towel and an offer to get out.

8. Turn car around, repeat step 5

9. Notice that the gas gauge is now 1/4 of a tank less than before Step 1.

10. Return to garage with big grin on face.

11.Clean passenger seat.

Close the border. they all use gas when they get here. send the illegals back. that will cut gas use by 30% in 6 months. LOL our governor wants to raise the tax on BEER in michigan, thats another crisis in the makeing

Chris, are there still people willing to ride with you?
I have a hard time finding willing passengers.
