How does a car get the MPR treatment when its at Roush?

Its a dang shame GM isn't building a Camaro stocker. Not sure why you can't offer it at a price you can make money at for it and see how many orders you get and then build it? Whys everything gotta be so complicated?..

"Whys everything gotta be so complicated?."

Always has been with GM. Takes GM twice as long or longer to get new product out! By this time GM has missed the boat. Ford or whoever had done sold the market!!

To big and to many cheifs!!!!!

Other concerns mentioned by GM was they had doubts (concerns?) about traction with such an engine in the RWD chassis.
Those that voted "for change" stand in a circle and say Yea!

When the supercharged Camaro project was cancelled the GM position at that time was that they only had $$ to support X development projects and they had to focus on higher volume platforms. This was well before the election. Having the current governments position being "everyone should have a hybrid and your alive because of our money so this is what you'll build" doesn't help the performance buyers cause either.

New Challenger ready to go!http://www.evansvillechrysler.com/ch...challenger_top

Great job on the graphics, simple but effective.
What engine size is that and what are some of the specs? Obviously not an NHRA S/SS package but impressive anyways!
