Ferrari Mailing List: Re: GM & Corvette NFC

[Doug and Terri Anderson (dnt]

Hmmmm - sorta like the 1976 914 VW/Porsche - even tho there is a model year 
'76, none were made in 1976.  Only um Aug to Dec 31 1975 or something like that.

  There were no 83's registered on the road, but several still exist.  Not all 
were destroyed and buried as ordered by GM!

no 1983 or was it an 84 Corvette.

"Corvette" is a Chevy product, which is a subsidiary of GM....so yes. Chevy 
is part of the "Good GM", so will survive the bankrupcy.

If you saw a 'Smart' Car on a US Highway, then it passed the EPA/DOT minimum 
crash-safety standards prior to US importation by MB. The 'Smart' is 
more-safe than any motorcycle, MG, Triumph, etc. Its not something you want 
to be driving if your goal is to walk-away from a head-on collision with a 
Suburban travelling at 80 mph, but then show me a Ferrari with the same 
crash-protection...

Hey Gang - \
Just curious, is Corvette included in the GM bankruptcy? Hoping it's not 
included in the govt mess but I guess Corvette needs the rest of the GM line 
to meet CAFE mandates.

BTW< saw a MB miniture car yesterday (can't recall the name - could it be 
called "Smart"??) - looks like a egg on wheels. Yard to imagine more than 2 
people in that thing. Would really hate to see one in an accident!

Thx
LarryT (getting a new knee this month!! - any suggesions?)
