Bingo! And this is a car that Jalopnik used to be obsessed with back in the day. I prefer the more ostentatious styling of its widebody big brother, though.
A Black Panther? Talibunny? Kim Jong Unicorn?
If you're not going to modify the engine (or buy a ZR1, which fails on the "bargain" aspect), then you want one newer than 1992. From '92-'96 the LT1 cars made 300 hp. And '96 cars with 6 speeds got the LT4, good for 330 hp.
Personally, I'm waiting for an Orange Geely Tiger GT that I can paint up in "General Tso" (de)livery.
I just hope the production version has a six cylinder engine. Why? Because with six you get egg roll!
What's more British than a Princess?
Optimistic!? It's bonkers! If you want an American-made LSx-powered supercar with a tube frame, a Factory Five GTM can be completed for around 40 grand. Sure, the GTM has a less swanky interior, but will be just as much fun to drive.
With a name like that, I'd have thought you'd already have a Red 308...and a priest's outfit.
Personally, I hope this trend continues. Only then will I reap my millions from my investment in Bob Saget's Ford Taurus.
Also, seriously, #cotdnominations. That was unreasonably funny.
Sniffle. Why did they have to use a cool car for the General Lee? Couldn't it have been a Volare? A Mustang II?
I'm surprised. I thought for all Questions of the Day, the answer is Miata.
Citroen SM
I disagree, and find this option useful. Sometimes you wake up after a rough night and aren't sure if that dead hooker in your trunk really is dead.
Torquemada!? This calls for an inquisition.

Harry Miller deserves some props. His cars were dominant at Indianapolis in the 20's and 30's, and a descendant of his engine design became the Offenhauser, which you may have heard of.
This Type 122 is a particularly handsome example.

Ah, A.J. Always entertaining...
There's actually a pedant at C/D (Csere, maybe?) who abhors the use of "RPMs," since RPM itself is already plural, standing for RevolutionS Per Minute.
While not a prominent artist or intellectual, Sir Stirling Moss was also a Facel Vega owner. He was pretty cool back then. In fact, he still is.
+6. Super Six, that is. While the older Terraplanes (technically a marque in its own right) are nice, I'm partial to the early step down cars, particularly the '48 and '49 model years.
