No F body, dang....

 

[CMNTMXR57]

No Asstek? Actually that may have been early to mid 2000's... Nevermind...

 

[Chet Donnelly]

And how is a Mustang Foxbody on there but not 96-98 Cobra? Foxbodies were cool as hell in the 80's, but they were on the way out in the 90's.

As for the NSX, my 3V convertible Mustang beat one at the drag strip once. Things were turds for the same price as a Viper!

 

[EmersonHart13]

I'd take a fox over a 96-98 cobra all day any day

Blasphemy!

 

[CMNTMXR57]

You mean this fox platform;

Ducking for cover now...

 

[EmersonHart13]

Blasphemy!

Erect

 

[Chet Donnelly]

I'm more of a four eyed fox kind of guy. Everyday I search for the perfect 1986 convertible to buy...no joke.

 

[EmersonHart13]

I try to avoid most 80s cars.... I was born in that decade therefore it must be crap.

Crazy to think the 03 Cobras were still built on this platform...and they were one of the greatest automobiles ever constructed, only to be outdone by Tesla.

 

[RICH17]

No Wbodies??

I know right. I see Fox and not only do I think of Mustang's, but also Granada's, Fairmont's, LTD's, etc...

No Wbodies??

Looking at that list, it looks more "performance" oriented than in general what was a great car from the 90's in other respective categories.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Ahhh, one I thought of not on this list...

'94 - '96 Impala SS's and other sleeper B-Body stablemates...

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Sy/Ty's...

 

[pulseczar]

Where's the Porsche 993???? Or even 963. Durrrrrr

Car mags went crazy over the E36 M3 back then too. Now no mention?

Diablo?

LS1 FBody > Fox Stang in almost every conceivable performance category. I love 93 Cobras but the LS1 was a gamechanger.

edit: oh, it's a readers' poll. n/m. but still....

 

[Pewter-Camaro]

Well from that list we can conclude that R&T readers are casual car "enthusiasts"

 

[Mook]

I like that there is some poverty ass shit on there then BAM, F1

 

[LikeABauce302]

What is with the Acura NSX? I get it that they were good looking cars, but what's special about them? They were severely under powered.

 

[03GTGreen]

Gross

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Mclaren should be #1

 

[Mook]

I dont think the ordering actually has any meaning. Its just how the slides were presented.

270hp in a 3000 lb car in 1990 is not severely under powered. Mustangs were putting out 220hp, Corvettes 245hp. Supras and 300zx's the gentlemans 280hp Good handling, all aluminum chassis. It was a reliable "exotic" car compared to anything the other people were making.

Right now the values are going up quite a bit so I think a lot more people are taking a look at them for "investment" opportunities as collectables.

F1?? Lol da F?

Maybe some on this list are reader “wishes they could have cars”

Doubt anyone with an F1 reads that magazine

Most of the cars on that list were not overly powerful. Take the Miata as an example. But it was great at what it was designed for. Small roadster with near perfect power for its size. Epic as a cruise/cornering car
