Viper because that car always has been nasty. especially the TT ones. The newest models are my favorite i think they did a good job at bringing a new look compared to other companies. Although Enzo, even if its not on there, is a good name considering they named the car after the man himself years after he died.

I have always loved the Cobra image Ford has given to the Mustang. It might be biased but I do like the name. It was such a great theme that Dodge copied Ford with the Viper image. ;)

I can't believe that lightning wasn't included. It is by far the coolest truck name. Come on it's named after a deadly force of nature! HA! But seriously I voted for the Viper. I remember when it came out and I was like, that is the coolest name for a car that I have ever heard.

this list doesn't really work because no one judges on the name alone but rather on the car associated with the name

I like mustang for some reason. Not because I own one but always liked mustang. Viper is a damn close 2nd though, it sounds viscious.

Cobra. As a name alone, it inspires fear and raw power. Dangerous and agile. Not to be f'd with.

I mean who of us if any would mess with a king cobra?

What about Ford copying Dodge with the Raptor and the T-Rex? And copying GM with the Cyclone (Comparing Lightning)

On a side note, I always liked the sound of "The Judge", but I would have to say "Diablo" tops my list. How much more sinister and straight to the point can you get?

Well I don't know about that but all car manufacturers seem to copy each other at times with various things. It makes perfect sense and happens all the time in business. For example, we are in the retro age now because Chevy and Dodge saw how well the retro Mustang was selling. This of course prompted Chevy and Dodge to follow along.
