Well - -we did a 30th and a 35th Anniversary - so why wouldn't we do a 45th? (and then later a 50th?) It isn't an either/or.

As to fuel economy......something to soak on:

The year: 1979.

Double digit inflation......

Double digit INTEREST rates......

Fuel prices thru the ceiling........

Double digit unemployment.........


.........and we delivered over 282,000 Camaros (and that doesn't include Firebirds.....) -- AND - -the 2nd gen was now 10 years old!

Gas prices do not always impact cars like Camaro and Corvette.......
