Strange list.  A mixture of cars that made me cackle (Pinto) and some that are pretty serious performance cars.  To each their own I guess.
2009 Aggressive GXP
DDM Race Backbone, ProBeam, Coil Cover, Alignment, and Oil Catch Can
Solo Mach Shorty Exhaust
GMPP Tune
LatinVenom Front Brace
Werks Adjustable Sway Bars
Michelin Pilot Super Sport Summers/Pirelli 240 Sottozero Winters
Sound Deadener Showdown
Beach Party Central Custom Fusebox Cover
JPM Arm Rests

Wow.

IMO, the only cars that were on the list that should have been there were the Edsel, Mustang II, Pinto, New Beetle, the Smart, and maybe the Delorean.

But the XJ220? Corvair? XJ? Vanquish? The list of good cars that shouldn't be on that list goes on...
2005 Chevy Silverado Z71 Crew Cab, LM7 4L60E (What I traded my Kappa for. I regret nothing.)
2012 Chevy Camaro 2SS RS LS3 TR6060.
2021 Ram 2500 Cummins
2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. 3.6, manual trans.

I can't believe he calls out the SLR McLaren...  Love the commentary on the RX-8, though - "world's first torque-free powerplant"  :lol:
