The supposed standards about to be enacted might make performance cars more difficult to get for a while. I am wondering if we aren't looking at new-car performance similar to what we saw from 1973 through around 1987...

This is just more motivation for me to maintain my f-body.

Do you guys think that we will be able to achieve this? Regardless, how slow do you think new cars will get before performance returns?

I guess I have a unique perspective. I think this whole thing is crap and want the gov't to leave my cars alone. No more CAFE stuff. No fuel tax. No nothing.

Let the market decide what happens. There is a growing trend for people to be more sensitive to the environment, regardless of the hard science that supports/refutes their decisions. If people are willing to buy based on this then the manufacturers will take notice. Let the market drive it and get the gov't out of it equation.

Like I said, I think I am unique.

I couldnt agree more. The market will decide and it time to quit all the fear mongering about the environment and running out of oil crap.
