GREED plain and simple ...
Scott,

You sure hit that nail squarely on the head!!! Nothing makes me feel worse than looking at American products with labels that show foreign manufacturing upon them...another reason I wish I could win one of those mega lotteries, because I surely would be out there trying to undo the wrongs that too many of my fellow "BABY BOOMERS" (by their apparent GREED), have done over these past 20 + years!!! The first company I'd go after would be "CHRYSLER"! I like Mopars so much that I'd want to invest heavily enough into them that I could be a key member in/of their board meetings, and do all that I could (first of all), to end their association with "Mitsubishi"!!! The 3.3 Chrysler V6 was a much better engine than the 3.0 Mitsubishi motor that they placed in so many of their early '90's vehicles---besides you think Mitsubishi was crazy enough to put their premium engines into Chrysler products??? NO WAY! They saved those for their own products to make them look better and Chrysler look worse (they weren't dumb)!!!

Chrysler doesn't need Mitsubishi, any more than GM shouldn't need Isuzu or Toyota, or Ford-- Mazda. However as you said Scott, corporate greed is why they exist in the lives of far too many American badged vehicles (The Chevy Aveo/Daewoo, with it's 1% American Parts Content) being the worst of all Chevy badged vehicles!!!

Scott, I'm not sure how old you are, but I'm soon to be 51 (the 24th), and I just know that when I was in my early 20's, American cars were American Cars (unfortunately with the exception of those Chevy Luv/Isuzu compact trucks, Ford and Dodge had theirs too), and the Chevy badged Corolla called "Nova"...that was one of the greatest insults to a great car name I ever heard of....Thank GOD the Ford Mustang alliance fought with Ford to keep them from calling what became the Probe (Mazda 626), a Mustang!!! At least Chevy latter created the Geo line and took the once great name of Nova, off of those joint ventured Corollas, and renamed it the Prizm.

If any of you corporate big-wigs are reading this (which you probably aren't because you're too busy being greedy), all I have to say to you or your recent decade predecessors is this;

"YOU SUCK"!!!

Default Re: A new idea for the Super Stock GT Class

ok boys and girls now what is left for Super Stock racing .Good thing their is GT class rules huh see below

"GM wants to cut ties with NHRA teams
The Wall Street Journal today announced that General Motors Corp. filed papers with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court asking to reject 30 contracts, including four “team agreements” with the NHRA.

GM is seeking to cut ties with Cagnazzi Racing, KB Racing LLC, Kurt Racing and Pedregon Racing by July 22.

Well, after GM killed the Pontiac brand, we were waiting for the other shoe to drop. [7/8/2009]"
