Camaro's are exotics since the price tag went outs Bubba's reach.....

When I was at Oklahoma State back before 1990 they made the first Corvette with
4 valves per cylinder and the first computer suspension things were made at Mercury Marine
which was in Stillwater, OK, They use to let us Engineering kids watch em run those cars
around the test track they had out at one of the lakes.... Pretty neat to see that stuff under
development.... We got to see that car, and engine way before most people knew it
was going to be out.....

They said when the car was going to come out that if they had engine troubles the dealers
were not allowed to work on them, they were going to pull them and send them back to
Stillwater to work on 'em..... I never followed up on it to see what happened with them...

I think it was because the school had a race track on it too for the Cowboy Auto Club.... I got to
run my Mustang around it once..... The guy behind me with a '88 prelude slid off the track
following me..... It was kinda funny..... He was pretty unhappy..... I think his car was bran-spankin-new....
