    Good list, for sure (along with the ones at the bottom you didn't list). However, I'd want to add a few cars such as the Camaro and the Integra GSR/Type-R to the list.

    I'm not so sure about the Fiero, though. lol.

    RIP: 93-01 Impreza

    Maybe its not on the list since subaru is secretly planning to bring it back for another run at glory. this 08 sti thing is just a rouse to throw everyone off. (prays it is true!)

    I'm sorry guys, 2001 is long gone. The newer cars are what they are for a reason; rigidity and crash saftey, of which the GC/GM Impreza does not hold a candle to. That 400 lbs went somewhere.

    Cripes, my BC Legacy is a floppy POS compared to newer cars.

    What about the 1st and 2nd gen. dsm's? They were hot AWD cars that were easy hp. I had a 2nd gen awd/turbo dsm and loved it.... Until I totalled it.

    Sound like a dance move. Kinda like the Hustle. "Do the Crankwalk!" I imagine it involves someone walking like their knee is broken sideways for a bit of time, then exploding on the dance floor.

    88-91 Corrados had the G60.
    92's had the first VR6's with a distributor.
    93-95 had VR6's with electronic ignition.
    95's were not sold in the US.
    G60's actually handle better due to less weight over the front axles.

    The first gen rx-7 and the datsun-z are also missing. How did the sentra se-r make the list before the z? Although the se-r isn't technically on the list, but you know what I mean.

    Safety cages keep getting stronger, safer, heavier. Get a motorcycle if you want to go fast.

    not entirely true. There a re great DSMs out there... somewhere. most of them ahve been killed by some idiot by now. I think that a pristine nice DSM will be worth a lot on 30 years, because all of the nice ones have been pooped upon 5 years ago.
