Missing Camaro?? Missing the point!!

Point 1:
Yes, it is a pity (IMO) that the F-body is supposed to go away. Yes we need to continue to improve American muscle. And yes, there is nothing that can compare to American muscle.

Point 2: I am a die hard Mustang lover, but there is something to consider. Don't get so haughty and proud and blind yourself. Pride goeth before a fall. Laugh at the import crowd if you want and you will soon be embarrassed. It is not wise to just shrug off the import scene and say that they're nothing to worry about, Yes that may be true, RIGHT NOW, but they are growing in many ways.
If I were part of the import scene, or any rival of American muscle, YES, I would want the muscle car lovers to continue to shrug me off as no threat at all, that is when the muscle car scene sets itself up for a fall. Don't pick on the little guy, he will grow up someday. Am I saying we must fear the import scene? Crap no! But we should possibly reevaluate our attitudes and open our minds.
