8: ’70s Chevrolet Camaro
The first generation of the Camaro was a massive sales success for the brand. The pony car managed to take on the wildly successful Ford Mustang. When the redesign came around, the Camaro had lost a lot of its momentum. There was a lot to love with this version of the Camaro, but sadly the V8 was hampered by smog technology.

There were a few special editions of the Camaro such as the Z/28 and the Rally edition. But in the long run, this was probably one of the most overhyped cars ever. The actual production model was a far cry from the Camaro that came before it. The automotive industry hadn’t come far enough yet and the smog enhancements were choking these large engines out.
