Default Which American Turbo Car?
Which one would you prefer to own and why? I'm talking in a semi-stock, semi-daily driven situation. Maybe 5000-8000 miles a year. Like just a highway car or something, but something that's not boring in traffic.

I'm sure I forgot a few (no Lasers,Talons or SRT-4s since they're rice), so just choose the other option and post up which car.

There's a bit of a mistake in your poll Todd. The Pontiac Turbo T/A came turboed 301 V8.

I would pick the Grand National. My friend had a Mustang SVO that was pretty quick.
