Who among us Opponauts has "The Car" the one that is so incredibly beastly, fast and cool that even the haters among us have to admit it. SR-20 is a must.

I drive a Fiat Pop, so I'm out of the running. ( I still love her though!)

Let's see what you've got.

If I had the money.

Since mine is still in pieces I am out. I don't even have a current track car to post a pic of. I guess I could bolt my motorcycles together...

The car I drove to prom, and have acess to whenever I want is pretty beasty, soon to have a Kenne Bell Blower atop the 5.0 HO Cobra engine, with full Cobra Internals, GT40 heads, Cobra Intake Manifold, Custom headers, running through a custom Straightpipe.

N/A as is pushes 350ish at the wheels or something. Fun car.

My personal car most of you know now.

Itsa 2008 Cobalt SS, now getting what is essentially a Buick Regal Turbo Swap from a 2013 Regal. 2.0 Turbo Direct Injection I'll be at 300+whp and 400ishh wtq. Exact numbers to be posted as soon as I get it on a Dyno.

Hmm.. there's no way to approach posting your own car for this and not sounding like an egotist or a d-bag but here goes. It's not cool, definitely not pretty and in strict terms it's not going to be the quickest. But I'll bet a dollar its one of the fastest:

73 240Z with an SR20DET swap, Wilwood big brakes, FMIC, etc. It's the new daily driver whenever it gets back out of the shop. Just had to order an oil filter relocation kit to move plumbing to the oil cooler around a bit so we are delayed again.

It *does* have a crank that stores behind the seat to start it and a pushbutton starter/manual choke for the lazy. That's worth a few points, possibly.

Did you drive the RS or non-RS? The RS has different suspension, so theoretically it should handle better than the non-RS. Of course, I live in the midwest, so I don't exactly have any canyon roads to carve, sufficient handling is sufficient.

I wanted to wait for the Fiesta ST, but normal Fiesta's feel pretty cramped, while the Sonic is pretty damn spacious. I may regret not waiting for the ST, but I'm pretty happy with the Sonic so far.

It was an RS. I think I was just looking for something a little weirder and thus the Fiat. I just love they way it drives, even the base model like mine in sport mode. I know what you mean about the Fiesta though. It was #2 on my list and I think what did it in for me was the damn entertainment center. It ruined the whole experience for me. Since it would be a DD for me, I just couldn't deal with the thought of putting up with that day after day. I'm not sure where you are, but out here in California the ST seems to be a little overpriced in my opinion. High demand will do that, I suppose. The Sonic did have it over the other cars I was looking at as far as space was concerned, but my wife's Mazda 6 is pretty big, so that wasn't really a concern for me. Sonics are pretty comfy cars. Just don't look at the one below it, the Spark. That is a miserable little turd of a car.

I know I use this for everything, but I don't really have any nice pictures..I need to get on that.

I don't think my others would really fit very high on the list:

2011 Fiesta (5 sp.)

2010 Taurus

2002 Escape

You are the original grounded to the ground. Also, does going barefoot or sandals all the time make you more susceptible or less susceptible to electrical shocks? I'd think less for static electricity but more for, say, bad battery grounding.
