Cts-vs are slow though. I took one from a 10 mph roll on my old 16g and pulled buses.

They're nice but they're not fast. They sound/look good but in a car that big you need serious bolt ons to go as fast as the other LS/x cars.

Plus who wants to shift a 6 speed in a Caddy like that? XLR yes, CTS-V, no.

Mazdaspeed 3 is underrated and some other obvious choices.

I think the legacy GT and the Mazdaspeed 6 don't get enough credit. Honda's should be excluded off this list. Everyone and their mothers have one or has done something to it. The Civics are the automotive equivilent of a Chicago whore with an STD. Some are probably nice to look at, but there's always the thought that you're not the only one that has ran through it. Think of it as getting a mechanical STD and you're basicly pointed in the right direction

here's one for ya:

1968 Cadillac DeVille
375-HP overhead 90 degrees V-8; bore 4.30, stroke 4.06, displacement 472 cu. in. Max. torque 525 ft.-lbs.
Turbo Hydra-Matic Transmission: Fully automatic, improved torque converter type with fixed stator. Converter multiplies engine torque for increased driving thrust to drive wheels during acceleration in any gear (low, intermediate or high).

SRT-4s(they are highly popular but ppl shit on them because they are neons. It really isnt just a neon)
Is it still on the same identical chassis with very little done, the same one with the poor crash test rating and flimsy interior parts? Can you take the fender off a regular neon and upgrade to the SRT-4 due to weight savings or is it the same fender? Besides the engine, transmission and suspension upgrades, at the end of the day, it's still a neon. Point blank. And I respect them for the speed aspect. Don't get into an accident in one. An SRT-4 crumbles the very exact same way a neon does, just with more mass to lug around due to the bigger engine and turbo equipment

yea if we got the newer gen. ford focus here like the rest of the world does...that would be kick ass
that logic doesn't make sense to me though, newer generation of focus's everywhere BUT america...

The thing about the Euro-spec Focus...it's an "upper level" car. If they brought that one over here, it'd cost too much for what it was. No one's going to buy a ~$27,000 Ford Focus.
