Stolen from VWVortex:
Post pictures/info of FACTORY cars that are unassuming, but had good power/performance. This excludes things such as Premium cars *S-Class Mercedes* and special editions of sports cars *Ala COPO Camaro*
Here is what I started with:
Of course, the SHO Taurus:
Looked nearly identical to a loaded regular taurus, but would rip the doors off of nearly any 4 door on the road in 1989
Turbo Grand Prix/STE, again, didn't look like anything special, the sedans especially *STE's*
Early Turbo Caravans:
2.5 Turbo 4cyl vans
HHR SS Panel Van:
Aside from the SS Badge, really don't look very special.
Early Volvo V70 T5's,
Didn't have any of the flair of the V70R's, or later S60R's, but essentially the same drivetrain
Early 90's Shadow's/Sundance's:
Occasionally could be had with the turbo etc that came with body flair, but could also be had with hubcaps, a 5spd, and the 3.0 Mitsu V-6 engine, which moved out of its own way QUITE nicely
early 90's Dakota Sports:
Could be had with a V-8 and a 5spd with standard cab, the final iteration of the 5.2 V-8 was 230hp/295tq in a truck that weighed 3000lbs in short bed trim.
