I really wish we had an :emo; emoticon that showed a crying stick figure slitting its wrists.

Your motion has been vetoed. This thread is getting moved to where it belongs: the garage. -Anandtech Moderator DrPizza

It is in the list. Shelby GT500 is 5th from the bottom of the list.

Ford GT != Shelby GT500.

The Ford GT is no longer in production, but it should get honorable mention, having ended it's run late last year.

As a side note, this thread is a perfect example of why The Garage needs to exist. Look at the useless posts accumulated while the thread was in ATOT.

A Magnuson supercharger would fix that, then you'd probably blow most of these cars away.

If you are trying to save the planet so bad why are you still alive? Go eat tofu and die of malnourishment please.

I doubt very many of them commute in those cars. What's worse, driving a 500hp car every few weekends, and a regular sedan the rest of the week, or driving a 1980's Ford Explorer all month long?

My "planet killing" Camaro has a whopping 12k miles on it. Since i've owned it since new, i've had it for 5 years. That's less than 3k miles a year. I doubt it's hurting the environment much. Plus, if I didn't have a work vehicle to drive daily i'd be driving a much more fuel efficient car as a daily commuter.

I'm sure Priuses do more enviro damage than all those cars on the list combined - very few are sold, and the ones that are sold are not driven very often.

Sure it's expensive and a waste of money, but don't get your panties in a bind cause some dudes love the cars and have the cash to actually own them.

 

[ponyo]

I would love to get the gas mileage of some of these cars as a daily driver. My current daily driver van gets around 11 mpg. My vette easily gets the best mileage out of all my cars but I rarely get to drive due to time. If I could I would drive that all the time to save on gas.

High HP don't necessary equal low mpg.

 

[theeedude]

MB is the worst offender from what I am seeing. And most of their cars are old geezer cars with a little more "compensation" under the hood.
I can appreciate a high powered sports/track car, but these are just are just automotive penis extensions.
To me, great engineering is building a balanced fun to drive car without relying on more horsepower for all the answers.

These aren't high volume cars so you can give it a rest.

Quite a few tend to see very VERY few miles per year too, so they account for a much smaller carbon footprint, and much less total fuel usage year to year and over their lifespan.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

I take it adding together the '91 Grand Prix with 145HP, the '87 Volvo 240 with 125HP, and my '02 Dakota with 230HP doesn't count? (especially since I sold the first two)

LOL true... but on one hand I don't really want to spend the $8K or so to get it, and on the other, even if I did the poor 245/40-18 tires would never get traction (they don't as it is).

I think he was talking about the Ford GT, not the Mustang Shelby GT500. The GT is no longer in production, IIRC.

thanks for wasting gas, ruining the environment all for the sake of your puffed up man penis ego while the rest of us are trying to save the planet.
again, stfu.

and yeah the new zonda c12 is over 500hp. how bout this, how many of them have over 500WHP. not just hp.(whp is how much your actually getting at the wheels, they can say you have 500, but your getting 460ish at the wheels.)

edit 2: instead of posting again, i'll edit this one, how about this, i never said get a hybrid, i dont think electric/hybrid cars are ready for mainstream yet. they can be, but they require more R&D first. and the fact that they havent added the Pagani Zonda C12 that runs a AMG tuned Benz v12 with 540-550ish hp, that ACTUALLY gets 500hp to the wheels. besides the fact that i already knew everything you just stated as well, thanks troll. and if you havent noticed yet, look at the car in my sig, i own one, and get mabye 17mpg city and 20ish highway, im HARDLY eco friendly but i dont give a damn, because my car is fun to drive.

thanks troll. nevermind that the number of 500+hp (production) cars on the road are nowhere near that of your "green" toyota prius hybrids and other typical road going vehicles.

nevermind that hybrid vehicles are highly environmentally UNfriendly due to battery disposal and replacement.

nevermind that consumer vehicles only account for 20% of CO2 emission, so EVEN if we eliminated all car-based CO2 emission, we'd still have 80% left. hmmm, reduce 20%, or reduce 80%? which would you choose?
