The Periodic Table of Sports Cars according to Car and Driver



So many sports cars, so little time. If only someone would organize them into one succinct chart, categorizing them according to common properties and laying them out in an authoritative graph. Wait, Car and Driver is someone, right?

The geeks over at C/D have created a pseudo-scientific chart modeled on Mendeleev's periodic table of elements. C/D's Periodic Table of Sports Cars covers everything from the Mazda Miata to the Bentley Speed Six, and just about everything in between. Best of all, they've made it available in a downloadable PDF you can print out and hang in your locker, garage, bedroom... wherever. It's science! Take a look over the layout and let 'em know what they got right and what they missed.

x2. Couldn't believe the Fiero was listed at all, let alone in "Collectible Metals."
