And does it have a Cosworth engine?

benchmark set by then series newcomers Toyota and Honda. At
mid-season, GM forged a deal to badge Cosworth's stillborn IRL engine
the Chevrolet Gen IV"

Yes, Oliver is certainly one of the Team Corvette drivers.

GM has long had a racing affiliation with Cosworth.

But it certainly doesn't seem as if the C6.R engine has anything to do with
Cosworth.

Is not, perhaps, Cosworth automotive's future somewhat in doubt since Ford
divested itself of the company? This is not an accusation, but, rather, a
question.

There was a news segment on China yesterday. Unprecedented
economic growth of 20% annually. China is building a city the
size of Philadelphia every =MONTH=. China just put in a hostile
takeover bid on Unocal. The U.S. economy seems doomed. You
can't sustain an economy on weapons production, war crimes,
illegal invasions, war profiteering, obscene tax cuts for the
ruling elite, and record budget and trade deficits. The people
running our gorernment today are mad "men".

The Chinese economic engine has neen running in high gear for more
than a decade - long before the current US administration.

I was there for three weeks in 1998 and witnessed it happening. I
was there again last year and saw the continuing progress since 1998.

You cannot stop it, and you cannot blame the current administration.

To do so just proves you bias and ignorance.

We should not be financing our huge deficits by borrowing from the
Chinese. As a matter of fact, now that I think about it, we shouldn't
have huge deficits. Is it fair to blame the current administration and
the Republican Congress for that? Or is it all Bill Clinton's fault? :-)

ROFLMAO at the dumbass Euro-trash wannabe.

You are posting to a server in Florida, you retard. I am hard-pressed to
believe that anyone in Europe would use a US-based Usenet server.

If you're European, then what are you doing in the US? If it's so
terrible here, why don't you just hop on home?

What a joke - using misspelled "Euro" words like "arse" to come across as
some European sophisticate. How pathetic.

Dick Cheney's Halliburton should definitely have it's
multi-million dollar war profiteering welfare checks
cut off immediately. Far too much fraud and taxpayer theft.
Cheney's Halliburton is almost as sleazy, corrupt, and un
American as bu$h and Kenny Boy Lay's Enron...

The export of jobs and the trade deficit have worsened
greatly under the "leadership" of bu$h's regime. bu$h also
converted a record budget surplus into a record debt in
record time. Denying reality proves your bias and ignorance.
