Something is screwy with that list. I'd never heard of the Isuzu Ascender so I looked it up - it's a 4,400 LB SUV with a 285 HP V6. I didn't bother doing the math, but I guarantee it ain't even close to an SRT6 let alone to a non S/C Crossfire.

I thought maybe the Suzuki was a sportbike thrown in for Sh*ts and giggles.

Sorry Fellas, but I didn't even see the Ascender on the list. I was still ogling the other names like Porsche, Mercedes, Maserati, Bentley, Jaguar, and Ferrari. Pretty lofty company.

The Ascender was also available with a 5.3l V8, but even that wouldn't even come close to the SRT. BTW The Isuzu Ascender is a rebadged Chevy Trailblazer/GMC Envoy/Buick Rainier, there is also a Saab 9-7 version of this GM SUV.

Who ever came up with that list is mentally broken. The Ascender... Never mind, not even going to go there. I would have to guess that is a typo. Even if it was the short wheelbase 4x2 and you dropped the 6.0L 400 HP engine out of a Trailblazer SS, it still wouldn't be put so close...

Another example of how accurate this site isn't. Look and see if you see the wrong info.

Anything domestic was a bulldozer in the corners back then. Even Corvettes weren't all that great compared to most Euro coupes and sports cars. Remember the concept of throwing a high HP engine into a lightweight car? Well, back then "lightweight" was still around 3,500 lbs!!!
