We all take Electronic Fuel Injection for granted, but have you ever seen the first car to have it? Most people think the 1957 Chevy's 283 hp 283 was the first fuel injected production car, but it wasn't. The first MECHANICAL fuel injection installed by a factory was the 1955 Mercedes Benz "Gullwing". Many people believe the first domestic car to have it was the 1975 Chevrolet Cosworth Vega. It was the first car produced in the US with an EFI and DOHC engine, but not the world's first, or even the first domestic car to have it . The first cars in the world with EFI were a few select models of Chrysler products in-ready for this-1958!!!!! (I just learned about it while looking through the magazine rack at Wal Mart at 3am.)I found a link about it and figured I would share this with whomever is interested in such a unique piece of history. Enjoy!!!!

I read the list and disagree with it... for one reason, the eagle talon is way in the back and the mitsu eclipse is like in the top 20... Go figure.

Frankly, I thought the Mini and 510 were down further than they deserved to be. In terms of significance, they started the whole sport compact thing as the Mini was the first ordinary tansportation subcompact to have a heavy aftermarket following (VW Bug wasn't popular until a few years later) and the Datsun 510 was the first Japanese subcompact to have a motorsport following. They also failed to mention the first turbocharged subcompact, the 1962 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Spyder.
When you think about it , the American auto industry pioneered many of the firsts we take for granted today. Chrysler had ABS optional in 1972, GM pioneered the turbo, Chrysler EFI, the Cord 810 was the first FWD car (built by the Auburn company of Auburn Indiana) and GM had optional Airbags as early as the mid 70's.
