Hmm, I wonder where you thought of that car from.

:P

9/10 For the Cougar, would be a 10/10 but I hate those factory rims.

8/10 For the Ferrari.


Now for one of my favorite Ferrari's.


288 GTO

1975-1995 = Best Ferrari's of all Ferrari's in my opinion.


'Subishi: 5.5/10, but since this is a '90s one, 7.5/10. Not a favorite though. My dad seriously dislikes them and I think it's funny lol.


1989 Testarossa

8/10, because Ferrari.

As for the Lancer Evo, we are seriously polar opposites when it comes to taste in cars. The Evo is one of my favorite cars ever. Which is strange, because I usually avoid anything with more than three doors like the plague.

2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

I should hate this car - it's an ugly modern muscle car/pony car that is extremely underpowered for for the massive engine sitting under the bonnet. But I don't. And I have no bloody idea why.

Underpowered stock. That engine is just a hint stock at what it can do.

9/10 though it's not my favorite gen T/A. Personally would rather have a T/A from 1971-1989.


'73 Firebird T/A SD455

My point exactly. How anyone managed to get a 5.7L LS1 V8 to only produce ~300hp, I will never know.

Nonetheless, I kinda want to get one some day as a project car. Again, I have no idea why it's so appealing. I ought to be considering an MR2 or something instead....

Because there's no reason to get so technical with small engines to make power where it's more cost effective to throw one of those together and get the same as a V6. Plus, you have to remember that car came out in the '90s and power was still slowly increasing for the most part to back were it was in the '60s, or at least were they rated them. 5.0Ls back then made 290 alone, some more. The T/A Boss 302 made 470. America has a mindset that large displacement makes easy power with lazy engineering. Personally, it doesn't really matter to me.
 
On the grounds that I do actually need to get a life, I rate it a 0.

Otherwise, the original mass produced car, and an icon of automotive history.

Not recognizing a Ferrari *facepalm* <- -10/10

Mazdaspeed 3, 9/10, very capable car, ready for many modifications, I remember a SportCompactCarMagazine tuner-shootout where 2 famous tuning brothers brought one out and really impressed the judging panel. All their names (except the defunct magazine) escape me, lol.

I wouldn't call 300 horsepower from a 5.7 liter extremely underpowered. Probably not nearly as much power as it could produce, but it's enough.
 
10/10 Epic power, great looks and styling and handling is pretty well. One of the best Mustangs ever made and I really enjoy looking at the combined 1969/1979 front end styling on the new cars.

1984 Mustang SVO (only ever seen one of these in person)

RS7: 9.5/10- A mean looking machine to storm the Autobahn.

Mondeo: 3/10- Never liked older Mondeos.
