Why is it one never sees these races on TV nor hear about the competitiors?

Is it THAT dead?

Thanks for bringing up Chrysler since I work for them. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) BTW, I drove a RWD Chrysler this week with our new engine in it (soon to hit the presses BTW). It really gives me a good sense of satisfaction to know that I've been a part of a package that I know will get great reviews once it's publicized. Driving it just completes the picture. Sometimes, as an engine component product engineer, you get so focused on base engine that you forget your parts have to make up a whole package for a consumer.

If you are ever in the Detroit area this summer or early Fall let me know and I'll see if I can borrow one of our cars.

However, as you say, the F body market was falling away and the new RWD V8 cars are clearly in a different marketplace.
