When the new 35mpg Cafe comes into play, thats a whole other story though. Even GM is saying the Vette may go hybrid.

It will take experimation to get more performance and power out of the Hybrid's. "But it will be done"!

The inevitable rise in gas prices as supply disappears and demand stays at its current level or increases will only exacerbate the demise.
Sure technology may find a way, but you will likely soon pay a premium for performance.

Corvette and Mustang never went away. Charger, Challenger and Camaro have returned! I wouldn't say the muscle cars died. As long as there is the American youth, there will be horse power and speed!
