Default Top Ten CarsThat Don't Deserve Their Engines.
Check out number 10 on this list. Funny thing is I own number ten and I used to really be into Taurus SHO's. I've also always wanted to own many of the cars on this list. http://www.autoblog.com/photos/top-t...gines/1245015/

They have a few GM cars on that list. my argument is, that they DID deserve the motors, why? because GM put them in the cars in the name of PERFORMANCE.

I agree, in my opinion it shows a bit of closemindness with a hint of jealously!
I'm over here reading & looking at the list and saying to myself, "So whats wrong with having a sleeper?!" I think its cool to build/own a car that looks rediculously slow & unknown but molly-wops almost everything on the street!!

Yeah kind of a dumb list. But on a side note I never knew they put an LS2 into a Saab SUV.
