   And how about the original Boss 302? Instead of the modern version. I
   don't want to come across as a  complainer but I just think that they
   didn't provide what they promised in the title of their article. Many
   of the cars listed ar in fact very cool. But I think they are a far cry
   from the "coolest" in the past 51 years.
