Well it's a list of powerful "new" cars and even the term powerful is debatable.

That is one of the worst lists I've seen...

Agreed. The Mustang is the only car on the list I'd "consider"

Chevrolet C/K 1500 454SS (aside from big motor and SS designation, not much performance it seems...so off list)
