There are some of us who both love our Mustangs and speak proper English. :) I think it correlates to whether we set our cars up for the road course or the drag strip.

Soon appearing on all BRZ and FR-S.

On their most recent mixtape, YRN, Migos (which consists of the trio of Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff) raps about what really matters: the value of being rich over being famous, having a Nextel phone, and Hannah Montana.

Exactly. If Vipers were embraced by FIRE criminals, trust funders, and sketchy offshore money instead of relatively ordinary mildly affluent usually middle aged guys who just want a loud fast car, I bet Neil would sing a different tune.

I don't know about you, but even the old ones get a neck snap from me, especially the old GTS coupes! :D

The thing is, there are a lot of really talented engineers and technicians that put huge amounts of hard work and elbow grease into transforming the Viper from the blunt instrument that it used to be, into a model that is superior to the old in almost every way. And those people, while working in a company which is…

You know, at one point in my life, I enjoyed Dan Neil rants. I think, maybe, that when he was surrounded by other car people, he kept himself in check a little. But after hanging around with Adam Carolla, all frontal lobe function ceased. No filter, no reserve, no calming influence. Whatever verbal or literary…

I drive a Viper because tires are evil and must be destroyed.

So how many people are going to continue the myth that the V10 in the Viper is a truck engine? The one common element between the two is the 10 cylinders, that's it. You'd think an automotive journalist would get it right.

Okay I totally can't resist.... My ride! I will readily admit this is a flawed vehicle... but not when it comes to putting the hammer down. I've often (almost always) had people write it off as "a Cobalt" and one BMW driver who simply could not believe that it was a faster car around VIR, despite lap times from Car…

Seeing as how Pontiac was supposed to be GM's "excitement division", I never understood why they didn't make a GTP version of the G5 like they did with the G6. I though that was the whole point of Pontiac: take a boring Chevy econobox, cram the most powerful engine that you can find around the shop in it, and slap a…

At the beginning of the article, I thought, "Dammit Patrick, I agree with you on most of your recent Future Classic picks, but a Cobalt SS?! You just went crayyyyyyy!"

By the end of it, I nodded in acceptance and appreciation. I mean 260 turbocharged horses for under $25,000?! And Launch control?! That's a winner. …

I'd bet that Cobalt SS would humble the "legendary" Acura Integra Type R.

For the next "Future Classic", I submit the 1st Gen CTS-V. My father owns one with a Corsa RSC exhaust and, while flawed, its an absolute hoot to drive and a solid example can be found for under 20k

Had a 08 SS for 2 years. Great car. Lots of fun to drive and makes great power. Made 360 torque to the wheels with a downpipe, intake, and tune. Interior isn't the greatest, but the seats hold you in great. Loads of fun, sold it for an Evo IX, no regrets, both great future classics.

Here's mine. Catless downpipe and short throw are my only mods.

The Cobalt SS reminds me of those rally homologation specials from the 80's like the Lancia Delta Integrale. A pedestrian Delta is more or less forgettable, but the Delta Integrale is a legend. I don't see a Plain Jane Cobalt being remembered, let alone sought after. The SS? I can see it being a classic some day, just…

Regardless of anyone's opinion on the Cobalt SS, props to John Heinricy just for its existence!

Rough around the edges in typical Chevy form for that era...

I really don't argue these. But this is one I really hope is taken as a future Classic. Its the first Compact FF GM got right specifically for being a fast FF in my lifetime.
