Number 3: The Plymouth Road Runner

Chrysler wanted to make an affordable entry car for young people to buy, and thus the Road Runner was born. Sturdy and lightweight, I was reading somewhere that apparently it was a favourite amongst moonshine runners because it could outrun a police car at 383 BHP (426 with the Hemi) All of this is before my time though, but its popularity earned it a song by the Modern Lovers, later attempted unsuccessfully by the Sex Pistols.
