I think it's mostly the roll-hoop. Takes me back to reading about the 1995 Saleen when I was a kid. It's like he started with a completely over-the-top design, then pared it back till it was acceptable to people who don't have their hats on backwards.

I'm a kiwi, so grew up with Monaros and Toranas and Falcons, so I love me some muscle, but in the UK the roads are too small and gas is too expensive. I don't think there's too many British petrol-heads that would think of a Mustang as below them, its just that there's a lot more corners here, making an MX-5 or a…

If a Prius is the cure, I'll keep the disease.

I usually prefer my horses prancing, but can't afford one of those. A galloping one with 700 more horses inside it may be a better option. That said, I live in London, where the prancing kind is far more acceptable, and undoubtedly more common. Maybe I'll just print out a picture and put it on my Oyster card.

Major CP. Partly because I don't know why you'd swap in an engine with LESS power than the original, but mostly to punish the owner for desecrating an RX-7. I've had this rant before (a few Wankel Wednesdays ago), but the SA/FB is a special car that needs to be protected from these animals.

Greatest drift car ever? Check. Most beautiful country in the world? Check. Sanity?.... Sanity? Did anyone pack the sanity? Oh well, she'll be right, ay?

I believe its final evolutionary stage is the no-legged cat-missile.

Words.....should have sent a poet.

I miss my MX-5 so much it hurts. Thanks, Jalopnik! Way to make me drunk and emotional...OK, so I may have made myself drunk, but the rest of it, that's on you!

Statistically, be male and under 25.

A solid list. Applause all-round.
