I wanted to get this up yesterday, in honor of 9/11, but I was having internet issues at my house. I know these usually adhere to a very strict set of rules, but I'm going to play a little looser with this round. I'm giving you 10(!) choices, so build your list with the most freedom-ringing, pavement-pulverizing, bad-attitude machines you can!

Rules-

1) Maximum of 10 cars.

2) These are your ONLY vehicles.

3) Only Domestic-branded cars sold in YOUR market.

4) Any era is allowed.

5) You can choose a maximum of 2 special cars- concepts, one-off builds, etc.

 

Have fun and Happy 'Murica!!

*so no 4cyl anything*

But you said "so build your list with the most freedom-ringing, pavement-pulverizing, bad-attitude machines you can! " lol

Just messin' around because stereotypical "American" would just be a list of V8 muscle cars(or cars with said muscle car engines) and too big for a 4cyl to haul around anyway. ..Plus..I love the RS anyway..

I think I have my list but I'm going to sit on it for a bit to make sure something else doesn't come to mind.. I'm not 100% about one of them..

Does the C8 count as a "one off" or "prototype"..? Or can't use it yet?

For me, one car I can really enjoy.  Some interesting variation on a 68 California Special, and I would be happy.  Alternatively, I think I would like to own a 58-62 Corvette, preferably a 61-62.

...and for a daily....CTS-V!
