Did You Know?

Did you know that the motor companies are trying to make their products exciting again, the same way that they did in the 1960’s, they are releasing updated versions of their famous muscle cars form that time era, and it’s working for me, I love the muscle cars. I’m a freak of sorts, when it comes to muscle cars, I think that there one of the greatest things that ever happened in the automotive industry and from the crazy prices that they are selling for, and I must not be the only muscle car crazy freak on the planet. I loved the old ones, and I love the new ones, if it says made in the USA on it, then it’s for me, the re-release of the Challenger for 2007 is a great idea, and I thought that it was the be all and end all, “BUT THEN” Chevrolet went and done it, first when they released the 2006 ZO6 Corvette, I just knew that I had to have one. Then they re-released my favorite car of all times, the Camaro, and I thought that I was seeing things, you know, like when people claim to see Elvis, but my eyes didn’t fail me, the Camaro is going to return in 2009, and it will be nothing short of awesome. With it’s pulled forward “A Pillar” and it’s swept back “B Pillar”, the car seems to have a very low slung and sporty looking stance, while at the same time, it retains it’s muscle car feel with the wide and short rear deck, and the interior is befit a king, it retains just enough of the 1969 Camaro body lines to be retro enough for the biggest, old Camaro freak, while using just enough of the new technology to keep things interesting. The 2009 Camaro borrows its drive train from the Corvette, a 400 HP LS2 small block Chevy, that’s 400 HP at the rear wheels, not at the flywheel, it’s nothing to laugh at, the car will be enough for a serious performance freak, while being manageable enough to drive every day, and getting up to 30 MPG on the freeway, by use of GM’s cylinder dropping technology, which will turn off the cylinders that you don’t need while your just cruising down the freeway. When I heard that Chevrolet was re-releasing the Camaro, I cried tears of joy, I could not believe that it was actually going to happen, but it’s such a good thing, the whole idea, the whole way that Chevrolet conceived and built the concept for it, was pure genius and nothing short of modern art.  http://ezinearticles.com/members/mem_pics/David-Atkin_17306.jpg" border="0" alt="David Atkin - EzineArticles Expert Author"> I've been in the automotive business for about 20 or 25 years, I have worked in all facets of the industry, from parts to restoration, all different makes and models, I just want to keep people interested in the old cars because it's where my heart is.
