2010 Grabber Blue Shelby Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Revenge- you better wake-up before it is to late. If you think Obama is going to let 12 and 14 MPG cars to continue to be produced your are sadly mistaken. If you think the public determines the future of the muscle car I guess you believe the public agreed to the bailout of GM & Chrysler, the banks, the insurance companies, and of course closing Gitmo. HA!HA!HA! BULL S T. Amen to that. In the early 70's there was still a demand but the govt and insurance companies killed them. Mustang II, Need I say more. I think by 2014 it will be over.

ilmor Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 With Bankruptcy of Chrysler, and GM eliminating Pontiac, the Z28 and probably the Corvette and with the enormous pressure from the Obama Administration to meet MPG requirements and alternative fuel Hybrids is the 2010 Shelby GT500 going to be the last American Muscle Car Produced? Chime in and lets get your thoughts. No way! Obama will simply provide a new definition for "Muscle Car" for all of us to follow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISAID Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 No way! Obama will simply provide a new definition for "Muscle Car" for all of us to follow! When Did OBAMA decide he has the authority to define what constitutes a Muscle Car? His Definition will be a 4 cylinder rice burner that kicks out 250 hp or an electric vehicle that has an exhaust note that sounds like a singer sewing machine. I don't need someone to define what a muscle car is nor does anyone on this forum that has or have had a true American Muscle Car. Obama can keep his change and his definitions he aquired as a civil activist to himself. Let me give you my Definition of OBAMA: A Shit Salesman With A mouth Full Of Samples!!!!!!

SicShelby Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Someone brought up an interesting point of view in one of these threads, basically saying that yes, we all got ours now... but who is to say that they are not going to impose some type of fuel restriction on those that own them already?? So, not the fact that the muscle cars might not be made in the future, but that the muscle cars currently being driven will face "sanctions," if you will, forcing them off the road as well.

mach 1 1970 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 This is where this forum gets off track, stick to car stuff. If i want political shit i will turn on the net work crap. This is an escape from all that BS that everyone has the answer to. Lets just keep it low key. When i drive my Shelby i don't have talk radio on. When i drive with my wife in her HHR that's when i hear political stuff. Don't get me wrong we can't stick are heads in the sand, but on this site we can stick are heads under our hoods. Of course they must be Shelby hoods or nothing less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is so true, I'm sure in the near future we will be dealing with fuel allotments on a quantity of fuel per week or month per familiy. I also suspect that fines or an extra tax will be levied for owners of vehicles who donot have meet a specific MPG rating. The Good Old Days are gone.

You may be right, I may have to go back to the dealer and get the KR he has on the show room floor. I started this thread and do not want to get off topic but how else could the 2010 be the last or one of the last muscle cars? Let me answer my on question, because of the government and their strict MPG requirements. The Mustang has been a top seller for years as long as Ford is allowed to produce them people will buy them. The problem comes in when FORD, GM and CHRYSLER are told what they can and cannot produce. So politics does have a hell of alot to do with the future of The American Muscle Car.

I ordered a Basic car no electronics package, or any other options, thinking of going back to the dealer and see if he has another one ordered if it is loaded work a deal for it.

ISAID Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Well! GM has now filed for Bankruptcy and the US Government will own some 60% and the Canadian Govt. will have a 7 or 8% share. I believe like I said before that there will be no more vett's, camaro's, challenger's, charger's, or viper's. If Ford can stay out from under Obama's Dictatorship we might continue to get the Ford Muscle cars. However, I believe the 2010 Shelby GT500 may very well be "THE LAST AMERICAN MUSCLE CAR".

Hey guys all you that have gotten your cars does it feel like a true American Muscle Car. Does the exhaust note make your heart race, do you turn on your favorite music and see who is at the red light next to you just in case they want to test out your new ride.

Is the 2010 The Last American Muscle Car? It may not be the last one,but its the best one,considering the total package,ie hp,sound,comfort,brakes,handling,looks,fit and finish.I gave up street racing a long time ago (Im old enough to remember leaving a white castle in the bronx,goin out and having several cars blockade I95 at 10PM, have 2 cars get in front and race-never got a ticket).Crazy really.The only thing ive drven thats close to this was a 435hp 67 vette,but none of the creature comforts,or stopping.I love my torch red vert.Exhaust note is terrific,not too loud,but a very nice rumble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
