    Automotive Superlatives

    This is a neat list! The 3000GT is in there.


    List of automotive superlatives - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Not sure why a 2006 Chevy has the "first aux-in Ipod input on stereo front", the stock head unit on my 92 3000GT had a nifty 'aux in' port that was great for my Ipod. Perhaps it is time to update this list?

    '92 3000GT Base ATX converted to MTX - Parted Out
    '91 Stealth ES MTX - Fastest NA FWD at NG11 Drags - SOLD
    '91 Stealth RT/TT Check out my blog
    '10 Jetta TDI MTX - 6 speed: 50MPG Highway

    I knew there were some car geeks out there! Glad you enjoyed it.

    I cannot believe the displacement of some of those pre-war era cars. Damn!

    then fix it. i was originally looking to see if "active aero" would be a 3/s first, but i'm pretty sure that porsche beat us to the punch.

    Nope, there were tons of hard top convertibles a long time ago, but they disappeared off of production. The Spyder was the first to have the retractable hard top since something like 1954.
