Message: [QUOTE="OldManIn, post: 173487, member: 22228"] I too am disappointed. I owned a '76 Firebird Formula w/ a 400 small block. Then later owned an '86 TA. Those cars were the most fun to own of almost any vehicle I've owned (except my WR250F). This was rumored about a year ago and GM emphatically denied it then. Really chaps my butt that they would not admit it back then. Although I guess they wanted to give it just a little longer to see if the sales numbers would go up again. The sales of the Camaro/Firebird lines dropped over 30% in the last decade so I can't really blame them. If the sales aren't there then it just isn't cost effective to build them. Sort of like what will eventually happen to the 2-Stroke dirt bikes. I believe the big 4 are on a 5 year phase-out plan. Just a matter of time. [/QUOTE]
