Supercharged V8, IRS 6 speed manual and a HUGE aftermarket it’s a amazing car to leave stock or mod the heck out of and go racing. SVT hit a home run with this car. Shame that it wasn’t exported beyond North America in large numbers.

Hate to burst your bubble, but this has already been nominated and voted. It was deemed as cool and rightly so!

Even though I would say it's sub zero ;)

RE: The Accent - well, the second-gen does have the motorsports connection, and with a McCrae behind the wheel no less:



As for the first-gen... I learned to drive in a model pretty similar to what Joey posted, it was just red instead. It was one of the last cars to be sold in Canada sans power steering, so that was fun. The complete gutlessness of it meant you definitely paid attention to where the gaps in traffic were :lol:

Speed Record

Designed by PPG, the M4S is most famous for it's starring role in the 1986 movie The Wraith. Using a 4-cylinder engine, this sleek and slippery machine almost hit 200 mph in 1981. Although the M4S was never slated for production, there are reports that 4 cars exist with one at PPG HQ and one at the Chrysler museum.

A very rare and overlooked car.
 
I thought modified cars weren't allowed.

Also, do i have to wait until the car I nominated earlier's polling finishes later this week, or can I just post one up now? I find that rule unclear.

The Hyundai Accent is cute, if mediocre.

They aren't. Badasp, I'm gonna need proof that this was a Steeda production car.

Go ahead and make a nomination Roger. I'll clarify the rules.
 
Hellen Keller called, even she can see your blind fanboi love.:lol:

By that theory the anything with a 350 Chevy is instantly 1000% cooler.:sly:

Lets say anything with a V8 makes it cool :lol:


@BK

Finding any, ANY information or pictures on this car on the net is extremely difficult. The only thing I can find confirming it's existance besides pictures is Steeda website.

Well everyone seems so keen to post their favourite muscle car or super concept car or what have you, and given the fact that my last nomination was a car which competed in international sports car races in a livery universally described as psychedelic, and which held the distance record at les 24 Heures du Mans for 39 years, I figured I should now post the most bland, anonymous, forgettable car imaginable. And what is more bland, anonymous, and forgettable than the Toyota Camry?
