In this episode of The Fast Lane Car, the guys are at an auction in Colorado, on the hunt for cars that were killed off too soon. They stumble upon a real gem, the Chevrolet SS. Now, this may look like your average sedan, but underneath that unassuming exterior lies a beastly V8 engine, delivering a whopping 415 horsepower to the rear wheels. It's a true sleeper car that will leave unsuspecting bystanders in awe.
But the surprises don't stop there. They come across the Kia Stinger GT, a Korean performance sedan that took the world by storm. With its 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 engine pumping out over 360 horsepower, this car means business. It's a shame that Kia decided to discontinue it, as it truly gave the brand a performance pedigree it had never seen before.
Moving on, they discover the Ford Taurus SHO, a car that proves looks can be deceiving. This unassuming sedan packs a punch with its twin-turbocharged V6 engine, delivering 365 horsepower to all four wheels. It's the perfect blend of practicality and performance, and it's a shame that Ford decided to kill it off.
Next up is the Honda Element, a practical SUV that gained a cult following for its unique design and versatility. With its neoprene seats, vinyl floors, and Captain's chairs, it's a car that can handle anything life throws at it. It's a shame that Honda decided to discontinue it after just one generation, as it truly had a loyal fanbase.
Last but not least, they come across the diesel version of the Jeep Wrangler. This off-road beast is powered by a 3.0-liter diesel engine, delivering an impressive 260 horsepower and a staggering 442 lb-ft of torque. It's a shame that Jeep decided to discontinue it, as it offered a unique combination of power and fuel efficiency.
In conclusion, the guys at The Fast Lane Car have uncovered some hidden gems at the auction. These cars may have been discontinued too soon, but their performance and uniqueness make them truly special. It's a shame that these automakers decided to pull the plug on these fantastic vehicles.
