    Out of my list, I'd go for the Jeep... and maybe the Mustang.

    No room for anything else here!

    Just saw this for the first time today. Wonderful music video with arresting cinematography showing how Honda's passion for racing and sport went from hero to zero in less than 10 years. Ayrton Senna's voiceover alone makes it worth watching.

    Yeah, those #1 and #4 will make great drag racers. Unfortunately that's what happens when you stick a truck engine onto a car platform, and don't do anything else.

    Ummm...the 2.2L turbo engine is not a truck engine. I don't ever recall Chrysler stuffing it under the hood of any truck. Except maybe the Rampage which was kind of a half-hearted truck. The 2.5L wasn't even put in any truck except the Caravan but that was an evolution of the 2.2L anyway. The K engine was originally developed for the K-chassis (K-car) and even the Caravan was based on the K-chassis. The engines didn't change until the Neon came out and that 4-cylinder used in the Neon became the corporate 4-cylinder engine.

    Why is it that I see so many of these trucks with female drivers?

    They should make a minivan version for soccer moms and call it the Grand Caravan SRT-8.

    A housewife driving the Jeep SRT-8 just looks odd...

    Well, I've had one follow me in the slow lane, then all of a sudden proceed to gun it in the exit lane, and then merge back onto the highway in the illegal exit lane. Driving a Black SRT-8 Grand Cherokee.

    I'm thinking it must be some 18-year old kid or something like that... I look over and it's a 30-something blonde woman as she passes me.

    Best part? I was driving my Mom's C6.
