Very true. The real race now is not which OEM can build the highest hp model, but who will come to market first with an electric Pony Car. We know Dodge is out, so it's between Ford and GM.

They will eventually get reinstated once the current administration is out of office; that's what the OEM's are anticipating.

A previous version of this story indicated the seventh-generation Chevrolet Camaro had been cancelled, but we received word that it has actually been delayed until further notice.

True or not; it looks like GM is going to let the Camaro carry on in it's current state for at least a few more years. Maybe they're hoping for sales to pick up over the years like the Challenger and if not; it's gone. Either way, the next few years will be interesting that's for sure.
