The game scores from the first titles of the Twisted Metal series, especially Twisted Metal 2, have great music for tabletop car combat,

Twisted Metal 1 Game Score
Twisted Metal 2 Game Score
Twisted Metal 3 Game Score
Twisted Metal 4 Game Score

The 2003 video game "Roadkill" included the songs listed below.

"(Don't Fear) The Reaper": Blue Oyster Cult
"Burnin' For You": Blue Oyster Cult
"Slow Ride": Foghat
"Heading Out To The Highway": Judas Priest
"I Like To Rock": April Wine
"Sign Of The Gypsy Queen": April Wine
"Redline To Your Heart": King Kobra
"Street Machine": King Kobra
"You've Got Another Thing Comin": Judas Priest

A post on BoardGameGeek over five years ago suggested an unofficial soundtrack for another (non-SJ Games) tabletop car combat boardgame.

1. The Prodigy - You Will Be Under My Wheels
2. Swervedriver - Son of Mustang Ford
3. White Zombie - Supercharger Heaven
4. The Young Gods - Long Route
5. F.S.O.L. - We Have Explosive
6. Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod
7. The Prodigy - Diesel Power
8. Temponem Pal - Planet Crash
9. Rush - Red Barchetta
10. Orbital - P.E.T.R.O.L.
11. Rush - Driven
12. AC/DC - Highway to Hell
13. Deep Purple - Highway Star

Although they involve mecha combat instead of car combat, the computer game scores below are very appropriate for Car Wars sessions or real-world driving.

MechWarrior 2
MechWarrior 2: Ghost Bear's Legacy
MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries
Heavy Gear
