slowly my car is becoming a car that only is a gm frame. I hate gm for giving me:
Shitty Decarbon Shocks and a 4" Lift Spring
Slow Window Motors that die at 25k
An A4 Tranny that was rated for a 4 Cylinder
A Rearend that was meant for an S10 with 110 hp
A PCV system that eats more oil than my grandma's 1970 oldsmobile
26 lb/hr injectors
A battery tray that my 3 yr old cousin could break
A fuel pump that dies the first time it is run low
Crappy Rod Bolts
Sqeaky rubber bushings
stamped sheet metal suspension parts
Anyone else want to add to the list?

i vote you be removed from the list. sell your car to a appreciative person and buy a shitstang. the cars were budget go fast machines, not ******* luxury cars with gobs of goodies.
just to debunk your whole list

yea GM fucked up and now they want us to bail them out..... as much as i support them and their cars, imo they deserve to go bankrupt to teach them a lesson
these CEO's don't even know what its like for the many Americans that are jobless... and one thing that gets me is that they are begging for all this money yet they can't park their jets for a few months to cut some costs
in the end its all greed

And alot of people are going under, it's just the times we're in.
And to add to that list:
Con's-
Opti went bad after 120k
Water pump went bad after 80k
Trans went bad after 110k
Blew a head gasket after 100k
Power steering pump after 140k
Ignition cylinder after 120k
Driver side window motor after 90k
Diff after 110k
Pro's
Destroyed countless late model Mustang GT's, Mach 1's, Evo's, STI's and hung with some street bikes that are either rated at more hp, or cost 2 to 3 times as much as my Camaro
Proud of the fact that I didn't switch up to the next best thing, just cuz it was in style
Have used and abused, and maintained my F Body for 5 plus years as a daily driver.
Learned something bout myself, and my camaro every time she breaks, everytime me or the guys pick up a wrench, and everytime she gets right back up.
GM guy for life....

I've had no issues with these systems.
I'm basically stock. I've had no major issues in 3.5 years ownership other than maintenance. 80k miles now (purchased at 41k)
F-bodies are great machines actually. Take care of it, it takes care of you. No doubt about it. In their day, you couldn't ask for much more potential without adding quite a bit to the original msrp. These cars are about the last ones I'd complain about out of the GM camp.

I agree with all of the Top CEhoes taking a pay cut and they should give us huge discounts on the new up and coming cars in the future!
Come on they did give us the Corvette and the the Grand National!
Next years Ad: buy one GM car and get one free!

IMO, rather than giving GM 18 billion dollars, id rather give that money to a brand new company with new economic designs and ideas, and hire CEO's who don't get an automatic 30 million dollars if they are fired.
