I agree with them on the NSX taking first place.

Yes the Yamaha V6 in the SHO is nice and so was the car but why not the supercharged 3.8L's in various GM's? I'm guessing there wasnt a single exclusive model car to nominate like the SHO. The Thuderbird SC's were also nice but maybe not top 25.

I also though the Fiero GT should make the list.

Also, didn't the 3000GT's always beat out the 300zx in compro's back in the day so why not now?

porsche is not V6 or else it would have even more issues with the rear weight now being a higher center of gravity......

They should have mentioned the 2012 V-6 Camaro. The 2010 recieved a ton of praise when it was released but the only time I see the 2012's 323 HP is either on this site or a Chevy ad. I still haven't seen any mag reviews of the new HP bump. I think it's worth dragging out the rustang and the genesis for a rematch.

Its only 11 hp more than the 2010s or 2011s. It should be worth roughly a 1/10th of a second in the 1/4, and may not even show up in the 0-60. Not really worth the trouble of a retest by itself. Besides, the concerns usually weren't about the power of the engine. More about the plastics in the interior, the lack of visibility, and the excess weight of the car as a whole. Without addressing those other areas, its not going to rate any higher against the Mustang or the Genesis

22 - Camaro
14 - Mustang?

Why isn't the 3000GT VR4 on there? Twin Turbo V6, AWD, all wheel steering, 320hp...

they forgot the '89 trans am

jandaseve · 10-27-2011, 10:24 AM

I would even put the pontiac grand prix gtp on that list ahead of a few of those

ffrcobra_65 · 10-27-2011, 11:22 AM

Nissan GT-R.

Good read. I liked the comments on #7 the best.

Hey, the NSX even stole the name from Buick, let alone the #1 position...GSX...GNX...NSX...thievin' bastards!

NSX is the japanese lack of imagination.

It's means:
