What are your favorite NON MOPAR cars?
The STEALTH and 3000GT VR-4 were considered DSM's....but hardly one of the coolest cars ever......nothing like upgrading the factory air filter...adding a Boost Controller and grenading the Getrag 6 speed into a bazillion pieces...because Ma' told GETRAG to not put ANY extra Hp/Tq capacity into the transmission because they spent their budget on the Viper Program.....hence 3000 GT Vr4's and Stealth RT Twin Turbos are JUNK.
No offence meant.....but I am not Incorrect.

actually, in the part about the 3/S, you are completely incorrect. They are NOT considered DSMs in any way, shape, or form.
Also, I've never heard of anyone blowing up a 6-speed because they added a little power- mine is at about 400hp (gutted precats, test pipe, k&n, electronic boost controller) and I have no tranny problems at all- yes, the stock clutch with 60k+ miles will start to give out when you add power, but that's a wear issue. I know lots of people with well over 500hp in their 2nd gen 3/Ses (6-speed) who have no transmission problems at all, and even a few pushing close to 1000hp in both first and second gens with no tranny issues.
oh, and my JUNK will hit 60 in about 4 seconds (even if it's raining), hit 170 mph without breaking a sweat (although I personally wouldn't do it because I get scared lol) and still get 30+ mph.
back to the topic though- my favorite non-mopars are:
'66 Mustang
'68 Mustang (both are models I owned)
any Mustang fastback '65-70
Also have to add the AC Cobra
and anything not made by GM.
Not necessarily in that order.
