Cool cars we miss

I like how nearly all of the vehicles mentioned are forced induction models:

Yeah, I read that article earlier today....You have to give him credit, it is stuff we all know of, but some people in a situation like his would sometimes over look.

Re: Cool cars we miss

Not only that but last longer
RX-7 kept in production till 1999 instead of 1995 here
also they kept making S-13s till 1999
America never got the silva or SR20DET (however lots of importing is being done now!)


Yeah info about VR-4 Galant, way off. How could have they taken parts from the Eclipse and put it into a galant when DSMs were manufactured in America and Galants were in Japan. Plus the obvious fact was that the Galant came out in japan before Eclipses in America.

90s Japaneses muscle cars are fun to play with. Good generation of cars.

To bad everyone likes driving toyota Rav-4 and other dumb stuff that are dominating the market. The reason most of the cars on that list were dropped was because no one was buying them.
