The Best Sports Cars – Let the Debate Begin!
They come in all shapes and sizes. There are cars and then there are sports cars. Deciding which ones are the best sports cars is like figuring out the meaning of life, well not that deep, but just think about it. Not only is the definition of a sports car up for debate, but then once you have that definition you still have dozens of cars from several several countries spanning the globe to sort through.
To help sort out the mess, our goals are to break this question down to the root and at the same time have a lot of fun, such tactics as creating a list of top sports cars comes to mind or how about interactive reader polls? Among these top sports cars we can break them down by sub-category, region or even manufacturer, keeping in mind that some of the top sports cars are made by the same group of manufacturers as well as the individual manufacturers themselves, life is full of important decisions and sometimes figuring out your favorite involves several models of the same make!

My Dog Peed on the My Sports Car Tire and Rims – Must be Global Warming?
Since when is it permissible to blame every little thing that happens in the World on Global Warming I ask? Well, I guess ever since President Bush left office the rabble rousers have no one to blame, so they are blaming it on the weather? Yes, the weather, or hot air – caused by global climate change warming theory that is. I was rather blown away by all the insanity of the global warming alarmist group vacationing in Cancun Mexico for their annual get-together.
They are blaming everything they can on climate change, and doing whatever they can to promote, PR, publicize, and scare the populations into their political power play. One gentleman at the meeting suggested it was the fault of the United States, and he was really heck-bent on calling for a world-wide boycott of US products, funny thing is we don’t make anything in the US anymore – well except maybe Hamburgers? Don’t laugh!
There was a very interesting article in CFACT News titled; “Climate of absurdity: Illegal immigration caused by warming?” by Craig Rucker – published on December 5, 2010. (I am advised this article was originally appeared in the National Journal’s Cancun Insider). You will recall the 2010 Global Warming Alarmist Climate Committee group met there. This article starts out; “Just when you think you’ve heard everything, we’re told that impoverished Mexicans are fleeing north to escape global warming.”

The North American Perspective on the Best Sports Cars – Part 1
They’re all around us, but when did the first sports car find its roots on American soil?
The best sports cars that have defined the American way of “bigger is better” seem to come from several eras starting with the hot rods of the 30′s. While most of these brute forces did not see their true potentials until the muscle car era of the 60′s and 70′s led to the birth of the “garage mechanic”, the pure styling of a 1930′s Ford or Chevy is plain and simple, yet sporty.
Some will argue that the first American sports car came from the 50′s with either the 1953 Corvette or the 1954 T-bird(if you are talking to a Ford fanatic who pretends that Chevy doesn’t even exist).
Without a doubt the 60′s and early 70′s(before the embargo did a number on sports cars) were a Golden Age of top sports cars, starting with the least likely of candidates – The Pontiac Tempest. No matter which muscle car is your favorite, maybe you’re a Chevelle fan or you like the Charger or you are into the super muscle cars such as the Buick 442, Plymouth Superbird or Dodge Challenger, you can’t argue that the first muscle car was the Pontiac GTO. Thanks to John DeLorean, the same mind behind the brand bearing his name(made famous in the Back To the Future movies), the muscle car was born from a plain old full-size American coupe, thus proving the American “bigger is better” motto. The engines themselves were all about “Cubes Are King” and the numbers were astounding- 396, 400, 426 and 454! Compare those to today’s numbers such as the 350 of the C4 and C5 Corvette and it is staggering.
