Which is the most antisocial and non-PC vehicle?
Discussion
Going on Bodo's theme... a Hemi-Cuda... or a mor emodern twist I'd go for a Bentley; huge engine, big weight, masses of CO2... 
In an article in this Saturday's Telegraph Motoring section, spooted this:
"You would have to collect the exhaust pollutants from 68 Ford Focuses to match the pollutants from just one 1968 Ford Escort."

From this
Stopping by fast-food joints on his summer road trip, Mark Wienand had an unusual request at the drive-thru: one order of grease, hold the fries. A member of the North Carolina Chapter, Wienand modified his 1985 diesel-engine Volkswagen to run on used restaurant-fryer vegetable oil and then spent six weeks touring the nation to extol the virtues of non-fossil fuels. "By running vehicles on vegetable oil, most harmful emissions are reduced or eliminated," Wienand says. As a bonus, "the exhaust smells like French fries or Chinese food--whatever the grease was used to cook."

scruff,
my Landrover runs on veggie oil as well. Last time, I've been to Britain a litre costed 37p at Lidl.
It's legal, because it's not based on mineral oil - only changes to be made is a preheating for the fuel in order to get viscosity down.
The smell is obviously anti-social, but chemical emissions are PC

Running a car on Vegetable oil is illegal in the UK unless you pay tax on it!!!
I saw this on television and the guy on there ran an old Mercedes E Class on used oil from his local fish and chip shop!!! Filtered out the bits first I hope!

What kind of tax is charged for petrol/diesel in the UK?
In Germany, it's mineral oil tax, and therefore does not apply to vegetable products; however VAT has to be paid
Another vision for non-PC motoring:
Not exactly a Camaro, but I decicded a Trans Am will do so, too.
One carfeul lady owner, comes prepared for scoop. Needs minor cosmetics. Your neighbours will love it!
