Are you kidding me? This isn't at the top of the l

I was shocked to see this car has no rating yet. Consider that it was such and amazing car, back in the second half of the 80's, that the executives over at GM pulled the plug on the whole line do to the fact that this car was spanking the Corvette at the drag strip on a regular basis. Let's not forget that the Corvette is the flagship car of GM's performance line of cars, so to have an other vehicle, much less a V-6 powered vehicle spanking it at the Drag Strip was just not acceptable. This car has it all. It is more perfect in a straight line for a short burst, I.E. Quarter mile, but it has class and comfort as well. You could easily put on a tux and show up at a Hollywood gathering and look fantastic stepping out of this car on to the red carpet. And for a Muscle Car, it is also very "green" as well, pulling about 25 MPG on the Highway. This has to be one of the all time greatest achievements to have rolled out of any of Detroit's muscle car building factories. It is like the most amazing super model you have ever seen that has brains, beauty, performance and class all in an one fabulous package. OK, so I own one, can you tell?
