General Motors has brought out its hairy Z/28 Camaro, which is available with front and rear wind "spoilers" that jut from the car body and improve handling at speeds of 100 m.p.h. and up. American Motors executives announced production of 500 tricolor SC/ Ramblers -steamed-up versions of the family economy car-and then watched delightedly as a flood of orders obliged them to triple the total. Sales of Plymouth's 1969 Road Runner-available with the "beep, beep" horn of its cartoon namesake and a 425 h.p. "King Kong" engine-have so far totaled...
...been a savior. Introduced at a time when the deficit-ridden company could barely afford tool-up costs, the hot Javelin will easily sell out its 56,000-car production run this year. Widely raced (it is currently second in nationwide stock-car standings, after General Motors' Camaro and ahead of Ford's Mustang), the Javelin has drawn younger crowds into A.M.C. showrooms.

...last week's twelve-hour endurance race at Sebring, Fla., the one-two finish of the fast new Porsche prototypes was almost a foregone conclusion. But the performance of ex-Road Racing Champion Roger Penske's Chevrolet Camaros, which placed third and fourth, was a startling surprise. The Camaro, after all, is a standard road car, not a finely tuned racer. Penske's entries were no run-of-the-showroom models, to be sure; at a cost approaching $25,000 apiece, each machine had been modified for racing with the addition of everything from a souped...
