Published on October 27, 2016 in Top 10 by Mathieu St-Pierre

No, we’re obviously not talking about cars that put the snooze on the driver, but cars that blow the doors off would-be competitors, without ever knowing what hit them. 2006 Audi S8: Be it with a V8 or a V10, the S8 is all about class and performance.

2005 Buick Park Avenue Ultra: Did you know that this Buick has a supercharged 3.8L V6 good for 240 hp and 280 lb.-ft. of torque?

1986 Dodge Omni GLH: The wee innocent looking « Goes Like Hell » packed 175 hp and as much torque. The name was correct.

2014 Ford Flex EcoBoost: With 355 turbo-boosted horsepower, this Flex will pants many sports cars off the line.

1990 Ford Taurus SHO: Be it with a Yamaha 3.0L or 3.2L V6, or with the rare 3.4L V8 in later models, the SHO was never to be under estimated.

2003 Infiniti M45: This odd yet cool looking luxury sedan packed a 340-hp V8, and RWD.

2009 Pontiac G8 GXP: 415-horsepower, 6.2L LS3 Corvette V8 and six-speed manual transmission. An item of mass desire.

2005 Subaru Legacy GT wagon: This wagon’s 2.5L turbocharged, flat four-cylinder engine produced 250-horsepower—more than enough to have fun.

2000 Volkswagen Jetta GLS VR6: Under the bonnet of this mundane car lied a 174-horsepower VR6 engine.

1997 Volvo 850 T5 R wagon: This box on wheels boasted a boosted five-cylinder engine that packed 243 horsepower and 250 lb.-ft. of torque. This box was fast.
