Very nice write up. I LOL'd at this:

Honda took that idea and ran toward the end zone – and then left the stadium and ran a few more touchdowns at another stadium.

What the hell is the gay ass boxster doing on that list? The Boxster didn't become a real car until this generation. Take it out and put the original highway bullet train (Supra) on there, replace the Neon with the GNX (Buick) and you got a proper list.

Not a bad top 25 list, it is actually fairly accurate and better written than most of the other lists that come out. What's with the multiple cars in the same position though? Can't count to 25 much? Online Link or mag only?

No list of cars significant to my car generation is complete without the S13/S14. I can't think of many cars (other than EG and EK civics) more influential.

I hope so, because whether or not you like the S13 and S14s was not the point of my comment; the influence it had on the import tuning generation was. And it most certainly was very influential.

Grew up with em. Love em. Bought one for my little brother even (S12). Never knew em to be popular till the drift craze arrived at the turn of the century. As such, don't consider them to be very influential, hence my comment.

I'm offended the Viper is compared or even mention with the Vette. I mean the Viper is a Viper, and well Vette's are just Vette's.

It's the Viper for God's sake, Chevy had to give the Vette near 1000hp to make even give it half the aura any Viper has.

Yeah, that's stupid. Plain and simple. The fact of the matter is that anyone who creates a "Top xx List of Cars" is all their opinion, which allows us to then argue if the cars belong on the list at all or in the spot they were given.
