You simply knew it would happen, and it has - somebody in Detroit is whining that the brand new 35 mpg gas financial system customary set to take impact in thirteen years will probably be the top of the muscle automobile. Uh-huh. Sure it is going to. Tadge Juetcher, chief engineer for the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1, says the tougher fuel efficiency rule, coupled with efforts by the European Union and California to curb emissions, may make subsequent year's supervette the last in a long line of pavement-peeling Motor City muscle automobiles. Juetcher isn't the only one predicting we'll all be driving Smart ForTwos and longing for the times when we might scare ourselves foolish going zero to 60 in 3.7 seconds on our solution to 200 mph. One blogger goes as far as to say gearheads are doomed to a future no much less miserable than "Sarah Connor in the movie Terminator 2, who was haunted by visions of a darkish and bleak future after a nuclear battle." What makes it so humorous is he is completely critical. ​This post&nbsp
