How is the Mini Cooper not near the very top of this thread?

Ford F-Series, Dodge Ram/D-series.

The older F-Series and Rams/D-series were all about torque and gearing. Pitiful horsepower, but that’s not what you need to drag things behind you that weighed four times as much as the truck. The new ones get by just by being stronger, as they’ve traded off suspension stiffness and…

It helps if the modern version is mediocre.

Pathfinder

How about the Corolla AE86.

They will all throw rods at roughly the same time and will plow through corners with understeer....

1966 Mustang Shelby GT350 R

The whole point of the original 240z was to offer a reasonably good performance car for not much money. It was slower in a straight line than the contemporary muscle cars, but of course it also weighed much less. The 240Z also offered most of the performance of something like an E-type while costing significantly…

Auto Union Type C Streamliner. Because 250 MPH is still really damn fast.

Ford GT. Not based on any real performance factors but they all still have one thing in common: 

Ford Model T could show a modern Explorer a thing or two about off-roading

The Monaro/GTO version grew on me the longer I stared at it - well, not literally - but it sure does stand out with a better hood. :D

Np. thats going to be the case with any car, some fanboy like me is going to obsess over the slight differences in factory options. Sorry to be that guy.

arghhhhh pic was mislabeled and I did not realize the different bumper argh 15 year old me would kill 27 year old me right now

Top pic is a firebird formula. Fail

A Red WS6 with Borla Exhaust and cam was the baddest ass sounding thing coming down my street in the late 90's. When the guy put a supercharger on it and then took me for a ride, I felt my life was complete. Then he let me sit in the drivers seat and rev it a little and I went to heaven, I was 18 at the time. I…
