I’d say a Lexus GS400, because of its 1UZ V8.

Is not that ordinary but the Pontiac G8 GT with a 415hp 6.2L LS3 engine

LS3 engines with these numbers aren’t exactly special anymore.

I’ll have to go with the Nissan pulsar SSS (particularly the N14 generation). At first it seems like a standard looking 4 door econobox with a small lip spoiler and a sportier front end. But wait, under the hood sits a naturally aspirated SR20DE engine!

Id say the Lincoln ls. Looks like a big four door Grandpa car but in reality it has 50/50 weight distribution and a 260hp jaguar s-type v8

252 hp at first, and in 2003 that got upped to 280. :D

It’s the other way round m8. Mercedes have Pagani these engines. Still, good choice.

Lol the Mercedes S600 isn’t an ‘ordinary car’.

Lancia Them 8.32, because there’s something about a boxy car with a Ferrari V8.

The es300 doesn’t have a 2jz. It has always had a v6 and is fwd as its built on the Camry platform.
