Ill always have a soft spot for the 4th gen cars.
The M6 LS1 cars can still hold their own. With a tune and decent exhaust they are nearly just as fast as current SS's.
As a "toy" I just cant find a better deal when cost, fun, and reliability are factored in.
I also like the 69 Z28's, iconic looks that defined the pony cars.
I am surprised a 2002 ZL1 didnt make the list. They were just bad ass.
