Not to mention the social dilemma involved with bringing a non-hybrid, gas-guzzling tax required sports car to the market when society seems to be demanding just the opposite - and at this point is paying money towards it in the form of gov't loans.
The government also just raised the fleet MPG for manufacturers. 500+ HP cars aren't going to help a company's MPG rating. Just get an SS and mod hell out of it.
