Just wonder if being 5-6 years late for the dance will effect sales numbers?

You serious? There's LOTS of chebby fanboys everywhere.

surprised all the crying hasn't done something before this....kind of a reverse 1957 AMA ban.

Yes I'm serious. Its not like its a fresh new idea anymore and with the economy being what it is just how many people are left out there willing and able to drop a $100K on a new ride? After 3 or 4 years of the CJ and DP's just wondering how many of the new CJ or DP's could have been a new ZL-1 if they came out at the same time? I'm sure there will be a hand full of them built but I'm just not sure that its smart business for Government Motors. I'm not brand loyal to GM as I'm sure its obvious. But I do not want to see them gone. Just questioning the move on the financial / business side of it.

I don't see them selling enough of those to make it very profitable.

They are so damn ugly I dont see how they sell as many for the street as they do and Im a GM guy, MoPar second, and Ford 3rd (unless its a 63 lite wt.).

Ugly? I guess I thought they may grow on me...I actually saw a silver one from the side that caught my eye, and then....one was coming at me straight on...what they heck are they towing I wondered? Geeez its just the fat hips; I really can't see how they sell with that chopped roof line and fat hips....and I'm a Chevy guy....I really think they'd look bad with 9 inchers, I keep looking at Martell's new one, ain't too bad from the side, but fatties help any car

I feel it could be great for the sport. it could be like 1962 when the big three all ran in Super Super Stock - yes, SS/S was the class. (413 Dodges, 406 Fords and 409 Chevys)

At Detroit Dragway in 61 and 62 the Pontiacs were top dogs most of the time!
