Question GM = General Mopar?

With the ongoing talks about a merger between GM and Chrysler, what do you think the future could hold for a car company named General Mopar? Good? Bad? Are there benefits? Drawbacks? A HEMI Corvette? LS10 Viper? What are your thoughts? Jim

Sort of like the "bail out". It makes a bigger train wreck of a smaller one. I can see few, if any upsides to such a merger.

426 Max + 69 Camaro = fast car. Just kidding, but that would be one strange sounding Camaro. Nothing else sounds like a Max.

Reading the news about this in more depth,it seems that GM also was talking to Ford earlier about a possible merger.IMHO,it would make sense for GM to merge, acquire,buy out (or however you put it) Ford or Chrysler as GM would get rid of one of it's major competitors,as that would increase it's market share.Personally,I would rather the American "big three" stay the big three.

My dad has some very good friends within Chrysler and this is for real. He knew about this a while ago and we didnt believe the guy that told us. Certain things wont go away in this buyout, the HEMI being one of them.

If this happens does this mean I can run a 440 6 pack in a 68 Camaro in SSGT.
