You know im just as excited to see the battle between the V6s as the V8s in these cars. Things are going to get very interesting over the next decade

hmmm...shouldnt it only be like the 37th or 38th? Since I didn't know years a car wasnt produced counted towards production years. I guess Dodge should come out with an anniversary Charger and Challenger too

(I know you probably know the information below, but thought I would post anyway.

) Aussies received 100 2002 Cobras, labeled as such by FMC but I don't think the 100 Aussie snakes are counted in SVT total figures . . .

The V-6 Camaro seems destined to struggle to keep up throughout the life cycle of this generation. If Ford put more effort into sorting out the current V-6 model GM might be in a really, really bad position.
