'bout time for a special post, here it is,
All the Great Cars That Died in 2017

Alas, the above Dodge Viper lives no more. The Viper was so special because it had an 8.4 liter V-10, which was the largest engine ever put into a production car since World War II, as well as being a breif respite of K- and P- cars for the Chrysler employees.
I think it should only be fitting for a Viper to have the Nürburgring lap record for a road car, as a fitting send-off.

The affordable, quick, and reliable Lancer is no more. This is especially sad as the fighter-jet, road-going rallycar Lancer Evolution died with it. No more are the days of 303 sideways, giant-spoiler-wearing horsepower converting dead dinosaurs into dust, smoke, and noise. Expect to see it replaced by some kind of crossover.

The Chevy SS wasn't loved enough. It was fast, with a top speed of 160, cheap for what it was with a price of $48,000, and powerful, with 415 stallions on tap. Also, it was the Chevy stealth-fighter car. I mean this in that the SS looked like a Malibu, but was as fast as a Camaro.
Honorable Mentions:
The Mustang V6

The Chrysler 200

2017 has taken with it plenty of great cars, but also plenty of utterly horrible cars, such as the Mitsubishi i-MiEV and Nissan Juke. Let's ring in 2018 with the hope that it brings some truly amazing cars with it.
Do you have any thoughts about cars/cats? What drives you crazy? One post a week so stay tuned!

It's truly sad that a 645hp,0-60 in 3.4seconds monster like the viper is gone. BTW, this is Aakash, your cousin in Africa, love your blog, think it's very cool and informative, I like that we share a common passion and enthusiasm for cars! 💯
