And for what it is worth, my last American car (no, I do not own one now) was a 1995 Corvette ZR-1. On of the last 50 made of this noble beast.
This was something I shared with rock star and political activist Ted Nugent - he had three of these And made a big deal about it being "American".
I wonder if he ever realized that the engine was designed by Lotus in England?
