With Trump rolling back the mpg targets I see no reason the v8 is going anywhere. They have been crying for the death of the v8 since I was a kid.Tough decision.
Guess it's the nostalgic combo Ford got right with the GT350. NA, FPC, manual, V8...all in one package.
Sunday morning ramblings...
The FPC disappered in the 50s, with a few (elite) exceptions, and Ford brought it back (and placed it where it had never been).
Manual transmissions used to be "standard", now they are the exception--but where there is demand, there is supply. One way to increase future demand is to discontinue manuals...for a few years...Difficult to use European models as a comparison, because automatics are still the exception. Some people actually complain about "not knowing how to drive an automatic".
V8s (or V10s...V12s) and gasoline engines are another story. Not a matter of if, but no way to really know when...
Bellbottoms, skinny ties, miniskirts, FPCs...some things are unique and special each time they come and go, though a few never return.
Sure wish I had kept that Stanley Steamer...
