"Duel" is the coolest movie ever. The trucker's arm hanging out the window and very slowly waving him around to pass is the universal don't-pass-me-or-else sign, if you haven't seen the movie... watch out. I had a huge city bus chase me for about 5 miles right on the main drag in the middle of town trying to run me off the road or crush me back in the day and I felt like I was in that movie. We were both passing cars in the turn lane and sometimes into oncoming traffic and must of ran five or six red lights at the least. I finally hung a right from the left lane and ditched down a side street, waited for about an hour before very cautiously venturing back out onto the road. Every bus I saw behind me freaked me out from then on. It was a woman driver and either the bus was empty or the people were on the floor. I didn't do anything to deserve it either..I don't think? My vote for a killer car would be mid 60's full framed Imperial, the car of choice for demo derbies, you can't kill them things for nothin'. The Green Hornet thought they were pretty cool too, even cooler with Bruce Lee as your chauffeur and an extra bonus is that they can they can be stored upside down under your garage.
I think Christine is probably the best example of this, but some others hae been posted that are pretty scary, too. What about the vehicles in the Mel Gibson movie Road Warrior? Here's the "star car": Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I forgot about "Duel", I must have watched that movie 50 times. I was obsessed with finding out who was driving the truck. In my young mind I somehow thought that the movies ending would change and show him...HA HA HA!
What about Death Race 2000? The more people you kill, the more points you earn! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072856/
I agree with Blue Vista on the Imperial. A 1961 Imperial LeBaron in black is the most sinister-looking cars ever. Evil beauty. It makes a '59 Cadillac look shy. David

An awesome movie, indeed. Now did you see the other one like that? I can't remember what it was called, lemme look a minute here.
