No. But it'll do the Kestle Run in 4.6 parsecs.

Mr. Fusion is the fix for oil dependency.

GM needs to get on this pronto.

Hey Buickman, Tell GM to get on this. Mr. Fusion can be point 21.

Re: 5th Gen numbers

I'm sure the next one will be overpriced for what it is. All the magazines and chevrolet will have it priced around 32 grand, but once you go to the dealership, it's been marked up by $2000. A 05' GTO price is $38,000 local. The next camaro will have standard items like a heated steering wheel and vibrating seats. I dout it will be affordable.

We're no longer using 1/4 mile times to gauge performance.
Now it's how fast can you get to the moon and back.

that would be sweet, but seriously, if performance keeps getting better we might need to use a new bench mark cause 1/4 mile times can only get soo fast...

All this will cost a mere $25 after rebates, discounts, and those mail in coupons commonly found on cereal boxes.

Given that the 5th gen won't actually debut until the 23rd Century, that is probably all spot on.

lol

Is it just me or does it seem like the 'possible return' seem to fade further away everytime an insider speaks of it. '07 has morphed into 2-3 years which puts it at a possible '09 date. Sheesh. I say '07 since I dont remember '06 really ever being thrown out much but my memory is faulty sometimes.
