Today I was out touring in the e30 with some unseasonably nice weather and I found myself traveling a windy road with Van Morrison's Bright Side of the Road! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCDZzf4ragg&feature=related
Vernon Wray's Tailpipe ought to be the official GRM song.
other favorites
One Piece At A Time
Hot Rod Lincoln
Pedal to the Metal
Why, David Lindley and E Rayo-X doing Mercury Blues back in the very very bad car era 80s. This song was better than the cars by a long shot.
I second Rush - Red Barchetta
Also more obscure - Velocity Girl "Go Coastal"
lyrics, sung by a hot female: "Let's drive away My day's wide open Get in my car I'll let you ride shotgun I love the way you look at me sideways If you don't mind, i'll stare at you straight on Come on let's go Will you bring your falling angel? You know i'll bring mine I want to know precisely is it just a matter of time? Until you realize I would drive you anyplace (let's go)..."
Pretty much anything by George Thorogood.
Barracuda by Heart
Hot for Teacher by VH. The beginning of that song sounds like a lumpy-idling dragster
And this version of Bjork's Army of Me

Great song...best version I have heard
And can't drive slow when I hear Cage9 - Ice to Eskimos
another vote for Rush...also, Radar Love--Golden Earring. "Speedway at Nazareth" by Mark Knopfler is pretty cool.
T.J. wrote: Flight of the Valkyries.. I've never listened to it in a car though.
Kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit....
Thunder Road - Robert Mitchum
Foggy Mountain Breakdown Flatt and Scruggs
"Open All Night" by Bruce Springsteen ("Propped her up in the back yard on concrete blocks, for a new clutch plate and a new set of shocks")
"Sweet Little 66" by Steve Earle ("Them stickers in the window ain't just for show")
"You Can't Catch Me" and "No Money Down" by Chuck Berry ("The salesman told me, said: 'Trade in your Ford, and I'll sell you a car that'll eat up the road' ")
and a whole bunch of stuff from SoCal from back when gasoline was 35 cents a gallon or something, like Little GTO, 409, Little Deuce Coupe, etc., etc.
Not really "car" songs, but a few I dig while driving:
Guitar man - Steve Earl
Hillbilly Highway - Steve Earl
and anything by Junior Brown.
