Default Forgotten speedy rides?

Can any you think of some speedy rides that have been overlooked over the years, like the 401ci AMC Javelin or the Turbo 4.9 T/A?



How about the 1980/1981 Turbo Monte Carlo's with the Buick 3.8L turbo V6's?




Or the Merkur XR4TI?



1976-80 Plymouth Volare Road Runner and Dodge Aspen R/T twins....


AMC Rebel


1992-93 Dodge Daytona R/T


'78 Mustang II King Cobra


1989 Pontiac TTA


Buick Regal GSX

Omni GLHS also comes to mind. I wouldn't say any of those cars were overlooked, some of them are hard to find because they had limited numbers.
The pic of the XR4Ti is actually a sierra. This is what everyone here tries to get them to look like.

no i meant that they had character and it seems like the special editions were legendary. i rarely see something on the road that just makes my jaw drop. nothing really unique and awesome out there.
