Default Wheels Mag: The Top 20 Aussie Muscle Cars

Got my usual copy today and in it Wheels have put together a list of the Top 20 Aussie Muscle Cars. The list is (this is the same order it is in the mag but I dont think its in order of best to worst etc, more just 20 they picked).

XR GT
VG Valiant Pacer
Phase III HO
Phase II HO
E49 Charger
HT GTS 350 Monaro
A9X Torana
GTR XU-1
VK SS Group A
HDT VC Commodore
VS GTS-R
VN SS Group A
T3 TE50
EB XR6/XR8
VTII GTS 300
VT 1 GTS
FG F6
BA XR6T
HSV W427
VL SS Group A

7 out of 20 carry the blue oval - not too bad really. Some interesting choices there but I think overall they do represent the 'icons' of Aussie motoring, as well as the new era of muscle where a V8 isnt always the engine of choice (ie FG F6).
There are a few cars in that list that I didnt actually think of however the more you think about it they do make sense to be in there. I was surprised to see T3 in there, not because it doesnt deserve it but more because it tends to be one of the more "overlooked" models of the past few years.

Thoughts?
