No, the Camaro no longer exists... for now. Chevy plans to bring it back in 2004 as an entirely different car. Should be powered by a V8 with an estimated 400 hp. There are also rumors that it will be AWD. Domestic Skyline, I guess. It sounds like the Camaro is going to enter the realm of supercars. I figure they might as well save some R&D money and just mate a supercharger to a Corvette Z06. This also destroys my prediction of the Camaro becoming a "bargain sports car" to compete with the Silvia (which we aren't getting either I guess).

I think there was a 2001 model Supra in Japan, but I'm not sure about that. All the Supras I ever hear about (home and abroad) are highly modified, like Top Secret's RB26 monster.

And no, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I've just been very busy lately, about to move to Memphis (long, flat roads - yea!)

BTW, anybody got a guess at the price of the GT-R? Nissan prices car very competitively. Mercedes and Lexus are taking a huge hit from the relatively bargain-priced G35, which the car mags won't shut up about. It would be hilarious to see the NSX and 5000GT debut with 420 hp @ $90K, and the GT-R with 450 hp for $50K.
