Was listening to the news and saw that Fiat was going to have a chunk of Chrysler Corp. Could this mean a return of Hemi Fiats? Remember those days 1Gary? Is there still an Altered Class? Probably not...too bad. What do you all think of this?

I definately didn't know how Fiat was going to rescue Chrysler, but after some research and seeing how dominant Fiat is in Europe, I think its a good move.
And you show my youth and ignorance of anything thats not GM, "THERE WERE HEMI FIATS???"

I truly appreciate the funny car guys these days and the speeds and times they attain. But ya had to appreciate the engineering and nerves of some of the pioneers of the sport. They were hands-on and Big Daddy was leader of the pack. They may not have attained the times and such, but it warmed my heart then (and still does) watching some guy with an Anglia, Henry J or Fiat going balls to the wall down the quarter and wanting to trade places with him just once.

I forgot to add: "We still have such amongst us today" thanks Gary.
