The very DNA of Camaro/Firebird says:
>Rear Wheel Drive
>Muscular V8
>Class leading acceleration
>Class leading handling -- esp. on skidpad
>must LOOK like a Camaro/Firebird
>must do this at a Chevrolet/Pontiac price........


so........keep the faith friends (for the 1,832,465th time........)

One last thought about Jim Perkins.....remember the picture of the 1999 Hugger Orange Z28 with a 1969 Hugger Orange SS behind it....catalog shot? ...well....that 1969 is Jim's...he allowed us to use it in the photo shoot. Look closely at the front license plate....California RM-227 .....was the actress Karen Ballantine's car back in 1969...she was the star of the TV show Room 227. Just a bit of Camaro trivia............now I'll shut up............and crawl back under my rock...............
