Easy on the kool-aid...

The problem is not with the so called 1%.

I agree with alot of things said here...

So does the engine use 5w-30 Patron? Instead of the non-synthetic Jose Cuervo?

Honestly not looking to piss folks off but our countries problems go further than imported cars parts to complete a car. With the oil hikes and our government there really should not be three diff auto makers trying to fight over 5-600 hp cars! We need to focus on more affordable american made hybrid/electric vehicles to provide the general population with an efficient vehicle or daily commute. Sure us with enough money to buy 93 octane and burn it at 10 mpg luv it but one of these days 93 will be through the roof and maybe gone! We will end up tuning cars on 87 with 20% ethanol before its said and done and hp will continue to decrease until companies work toward it. I think its deff in the future for high hp effecient vehicles but america wont be the ones creating them more than likely nor will we see a day where we make every part of a car as our factories are all overseas and will continue.

When you pay high school diplomas $25-$35 / hour (for high quality, high quantity work), you can make that call. For now I'll make it.

How can all these other companies manage to produce in their own country or here, but US auto makers can't?

In a word...UAW

Nafta benefits the US more than any other member country. The US still does whatever it wants to do regardless of Nafta

Labor unions were useful and now their time has passed. We have minimum wage now and slavery is illegal. Texas has it right, the staff works hard to keep their job, Union workers are "entitled" to keep their jobs. HUGE difference in working philosophy. Why work if I can get it for free?

The LSA is normally made in Mexico. For some crazy reason I thought the LSA in the ZL1 was made in the usa instead of Mexico, but I haven't been able to find a window sticker to confirm if I am right or wrong.

bvcamaro · 05-02-2012, 08:15 PM

Idk...the window sticker says country of origin for the engine and trans is United States and the final assemb is in Canada!
