Re: rubber bumper GT's

Hello Everyone,

I recall that the reason that the BGT was withdrawn from the US market was 
that the greater weight of the car caused a greater resistance setting on the 
EPA emissions dyno-type machine. This was also used a part of the explanation 
for the conversion from twin Suus to the single Stromberg. They were trying 
to reduce the weight of the B. Does anyone have the same recollection?
