bob lutz told everyone that the 50TH would suffer when the C6 was moved back, more money was sent there and the 50th was one of the cuts. the new shocks should hold an improvement, as long as that magnetic fluid doesnt break down.

I will admit that the F-Bodys are in desperate need of a total re-design. They just cant compete the way they are. Some more HP and a fresh new look would help them alot.

That does not mean that Chevrolet / GM sucks. I do think that they have took a few steps down the wrong roads these last few yrs. They need to throw a bunch of money into the vette, and also they need to bring back some of the other rwd cars like the 94-96 B-Body Impala's and other rwd's.


Just my .02

i like most of the cars chevy makes, but they need to put more power into then. they definately can compete with more HP (physically, and money-wise)...


my friend's dad has a 2000 vette, he put about 5-6k into it and its pushing 500hp, and its street legal, WHY CANT CHEVY DO THAT?? i understand because of insurance reasons, but IMO, 350hp, and no redesign for a 50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION is just lame.


EDIT: they can just take some money they saved from the avalanche (not having to paint all the plastic shit ) and put that towardss their "performance" department....

just MY $.02
