I think the question about if horsepower is back was meant more for normal production vehicles, not the 1300 horsepower carbon fiber and plastic AWD 300mph exotic super cars you guys are linking to.

Yes, clearly the American auto makers are doing throwbacks to the muscle car days, not just in styling but in the HP race too. Something I doubted we would ever see again. Cherish these times, if you care about this stuff, it wont last forever.

I find it humorous that some on this site who want some kickass, screamin', high HP muscle car are the same ninnie's who cry about going the speed limit...el douchebag dumb fucks...plus most here also post about how little money they make and talk about the 10+ year old POS they drive around in. Funny. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Yeah and putting the Vette, mustang and stuff like that against those Euro super cars is just wrong.. they are two different classes.. like tring to say a vette will wip a mustang.. (GT Version) of course it will they are two different classes..

Like comparing the Vette to a geo metro..

If GM made the corvette awd, it would be a pretty strong competitor. But that would probably push the base model's price out of the range that makes it appealing to a large portion of its buyers in this market.

Maybe if Obama got on it himself.

If Obama would have dumped most of that GM bailout money into building the world's fastest, cheapest supercar corvette, performance of a Lamborghini and price of a Geo, it would have saved the economy. Everyone would buy one. GM is saved (screw chrysler). The number of high speed crashes would make parts cheap, and the mortality rate would open up new job opportunities for the rest of us. Fucking economy fixed. I haven't figured out how super corvettes would solve the oil spill in the gulf yet though.
