(final version) Top 5 Pixar Cars characters

Here is the final version of my list of favorite (and least favorite) Cars characters. The rules are largely the same,except comic characters are now allowed as well. So,let's get started.
(Best)
1. Herbie: A cameo by my favorite fictional character of all time? Yes please!
2. Shu Todoroki: I love LMP race cars quite a bit. I also dig the dragon inspired paint job.
3. Rusty and Dusty: It's just good ol' Click and Clack doing what they do best: Cracking me up. Plus I like how one of them is Tom's infamous Dodge Dart.
4. Lewis Hamilton: One of my favorite racing drivers of all time playing himself. That's just epic.
5. Carla Veloso: Another Le Mans Prototype racer. Not much else to say.
(Worst)
1. Mia and Tia: These two are so annoying. They're the only Cars characters I downright hate.
2. Harv: No car to go along with the voice? That seems like wasted potential. 
3. Minny and Van: These two are just so stupid. I'm losing brain cells just from writing about them.
4. Francesco Bernoulli- I really do like F1, but this character is so unlikable. I just can't.
5. Wingo- I like Japanese cars,but I don't like it when they're completely riced. If it weren't for the smaller spoilers lining the inside of his big wing,I'd probably tolerate his design.

Top 5 Best Racing Cars

 Here are my top 5 favorite race cars,but with a catch: I'm picking one from each of my favorite series.

Le Man's: Morgan Plus Four- My favorite car company and my favorite motorsport,it's that simple.

Formula 1: Lotus 79- It's aerodynamics are awe inspiring. The fact that it's a Lotus also helps.

Global Rallycross: Volkswagen Beetle- My favorite production car is the Volkswagen Bug. So of course this beast was going to make it on the list.

NASCAR: Hudson Hornet- My favorite American car ever was also a no-brainer. The nickname says it all; the thing is fabulous.

GT Racing (counting subclasses): Lotus Exige- Lotus is one of my favorite car companies,thanks  to their lightweight cars that always knock it out of the park. This one is a great example of why I like them so much.

Top 5 Best Camaros/Firebirds

 I made a list of my favorite Mustangs,so why not be fair and give Ford's crosstown rivals a chance to bring their best as well?

1. Pontiac Pegasus- It's got a Ferrari engine and transmission,but with a modified Trans Am body and interior. I love it.

2. Turbo Trans Am- Smokey and the Bandit II,anyone? It may not be the fastest but it does have style.

3. Catfish Camaro- I love this thing due to its aerodynamic body and easy to tune engine. It really is a good car.

4. IROC Camaro- It's light and has good handling,the two things I want from a sports coupe,even if it's a muscle car. I really like this one.

5. 1967 Camaro- The car that started this legend. It is a classic,in every since of the word.
