Plymouth, Oldsmobile, & next the Corvette???? I just discovered this morning, and really no surprise, about the closing of the High Performance Vehicle Division used for the Caddy CTS-V and the Corvette ZR-1. Too much of a carbon footprint left on Mother Earth? Lousy gas mileage? Maybe - Or did GM cave in under pressure by the new administration? Although my fiberglass, plastic, aluminum, steel, composite, wood vehicle, (Yeah wood - floorboards are encapsulated balsa wood) attains speed in excess of 19.1 mph, it gets 28-30 mpg while cruising the highway at 75 mph @ 1650 rpm's. MPG would increase if fuel wasn't watered down 10% ethanol. I just completed a trip from TV averaging 28.6 mpg. Another 1 bites the dust? I hope not.
