Also, those 1/4 mile times were probably on tires of the day, which are crap even compared to modern walmart specials.
Why does it matter how big the engine is (at least in the US)?
Overall, though I agree that there are a lot of nice cars coming out now. I wouldn't really put the neon in that list, but I can understand why some would.

Ya engine these days does kinda matter, if gas prices are high and you got no money
