NS!
or the Z06 C5 405hp & 400lb-ft. out of a 350ci motor!

The Nissan [size=4]Z[size=4] will be back late 2002 as an all new 03' model.  

350Z at least 260hp(probably more) RWD & strictly a 2 seater,supposedly for less than $30k

Allegedly the Mazda RX will be back too
possibly with a 3 rotor wankel engine good
for 250+hp

Bolt a few grand worth of aftermarket goodies on the T/A[:D]

Seroiusly, I think this is one of GM major screw-ups. The F-bodies are not priced real competetivly against the stangs. Sales would seriously go up if GM gave the adverage guy a fast, cheap platform to work on.

It is sad that GM has already handed Ford the police car and taxi cab market, now they are going to give them street racer market also. It'll be a Mustang or one of the various jap-crap cars for the youth of the future. I wish I could afford a new Trans Am just to have but I got too many old ones as it is.[:)]

I love the camaro. My 2002 Z-28 is a dream come true....310 hp....340 ft/lbs t.....gee what does the mustang GT have 260 hp 302 ft/lbs
there is just no comparing the two cars....
hey I have seen a old chevette beat a stang....yes it had some add on, but was less expansive than the stang.....guess that could be true for a lot of cars....the point is that comparing modified cars is just not a good argument.

Rock on.  None of this newer "redesigned 4.6L" bullshit either, gimme the old rock-hard 5.0 GT's baby.

Will probably be 2003+ until you see the 300ZX again.  As far as I know, they're pushing the 180HP 2.0L 4-cyl's  Sentras for 2002.

It will be sad to see these America classics go.

or the 255hp V-6 Altima,Maxima,I35

As long as we are talking about the demise of vehicle lines, is anyone else as chapped as me about the death of the Jeep Cherokee in favour of the Liberty?

Tell me how an aluminum-axle IFS V6 is supposed to keep up with an Iron/steel SLA fore-and-aft with a GRUNTY I6 engine?  Besides, the Cherokee has the Liberty beat in raw useful power, off-road ability, towing capacity, carrying capacity, cargo room, and just about anything else you could care to mention.  Besides, the Liberty is the FIRST vehicle to roll over on the CR 40mph slalom course - where's the advantage in that?  High roll centre, underpowered, underspaced (it's no accident that the OEM spare is on the liftgate) and more complicated than absolutely necessary...

And, given a choice for best "regular guy" musclecar, I'm split between Gen1 Mustang with built 289 and Gen1 Camaro with built 327...  You don't want to know what I can do with either of those two engines... (and I made my bones restoring Corvettes, and grew up into exotic fuel engines!  I played with Hydrazine before it got outlawed...)

Dont really care about either one.  Mustangs are better anyway.  However, the camaro died in 1993 in my opinion.  The IROCs were my favorite camaro.  Never liked the new body style.

I'm completely with you on the Jeep.  I had a 1988 Cherokee that gave me 200,000 miles before I sold it in 2000.  I got $3,500 for it and it was in great shape.

There wasn't much that car couldn't do; pull stumps, donuts on dry pavement, drive full speed through 3 feet of new snow, yank a 1999 Ford F150 out of a ditch, drive 150 miles with no engine oil, double as a tent, navigate any road in the USA, fit 19 high schoolers, all while getting 20 mpg.

I don't like the way designers are trying to make cars more rounded and girly looking.  I liked the Jeepster concept car, but crossing it with a Cherokee to create a Liberty was questionable.  I sort of like it, but it is a little short and a little too tall.

I have had a number of Vettes from 64 thru 79, Camaros from 67 to my current 95 Z28 convertible and other assorted FAST cars.  I have enjoyed each one for it's particular characteristics.

By far the 95 Z is the most comfortable and least work of any of them!  Rebuilt from a total that I purchased when it was nearly new.  Damn site faster than previous Camaros and my BUILT 455 68 GTO!!!!!  Last Vette was a 79 with big valve 350 and it MIGHT have kept up with the 95 Z, maybe.....

When I went looking for another sports car prior to rebuilding the Z, I found not only prices of Vettes out of my range but double on insurance rates.  The F***in insurance companies do too damn much dictating to us on cars!!

RAF, your elitist ignorance is showing!  The Z performs at almost exactly the same G on skid pad as the Vette (IRS) and for WAY less money!!  Not to mention the vastly lower complexity.  As for FWD, it can NEVER achieve as good cornering performance as RWD, period.  (At least until the laws of physics are repealed!)

It is my honor to personally know the man who designed and built the active suspension in the Vette!  Talk about a head full of interesting knowledge!  I can listen to him for HOURS!

The F body will be sorely missed.  It was GM's sports car for the working man.  The Vette has been given to the wine and cheese set, the Tang is a wimp and who wants to buy rice?  Poor marketing and a population of drones that want to be PC or drive an SUV if they aren't, have conspired to kill a fine line.  Surely will impact the revenue of the tax collectors some call cops.

Yeah, what he said.
