Maybe from the evil 70s Muscle Car Trick-You Devils I've got running around my place. They're everywhere these days, hiding in the kitchen cabinets and closets.

Gotta be GM.
Nope, but I texted you the answer lol.

I'll just say it was mainly designed by _____, for use in a certain racing series, when the car they were using was no longer aerodynamic enough for the track.

Ugh, ok I'm taking the L on that one. I blame the devils.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Wasn't the Toronado the first for a few FWD things? First FWD V8? Something like that...

Little known fact: NJ Devils were the Colorado Rockies :shock: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_o ... sey_Devils

The history of the New Jersey Devils National Hockey League team dates back to 1982, when the Colorado Rockies moved to New Jersey and became the Devils.









99% of everyone reading this: overweight old American cars, and now... hockey? Are you serious? :D

Nope, not an AMC, not ugly, and not a Matador.

I know what Matt's post is, so I've left it for others to guess.

Ok, this is a tough one, and not strictly part of this Name the Car tournament.

What's this car? I don't know, and Nick doesn't know, but we've come up with some guesses:

first gen Acura Integra
second gen RX-7
1990s 240SX (not hatchback)
Supra

Ok, while making this section larger, I think I know. It's not in that list, but same era. The clue is in the decklid.
