  4. Half these cars were Corvetted, Can't step on Corvettes toes at GM, I think they should have just made the Vette better instead of getting rid of everything that made it look bad. RIP Syclone, I know the Sy wasn't from the 80's but the early 90's and suffered the same fate as all these other GM cars that had the audacity to outperform the vette.

  6. What's sad is the 80s had a lot of nice modern takes on the old muscle car and you could tell if the engines were built to their full potential instead of being tuned to make low power and get gas mileage they would have made great platforms for performance like the gm G bodies and all the cars that ran on the Ford fox platform but it's a shame that some of those v8s made less horsepower than a damn modern day Honda civic about the only car from the 80s with balls was Buick Grand national.

  8. What utter pieces of shit. My 1989 lancer gsr had a 1600 4cyl turbo and had as much power as these shitboxes and half the weight. No wonder the American car business has gone down the toilet.

  10. Must say everyone of those 80's cars are pieces of shit, I feel sorry for you you suckers, bow your head to the Acura TL, thank you Japan for making something Detroit will never make, and that's called superior quality!!!

  15. The Lincoln Mark 8s had the high performance 5 liter engines. The 1984 to 86 SVO mustangs were very cool too, but too expensive in the 1980s to become popular sellers. Most of us bought the cheaper and faster 5 liter mustangs and Capris. The SVOs are definitely collectable now because they had special suspension that regular mustangs did not have, also huge brakes! This was a road-racing car and would still be a cool toy to have.

  16. Great video. A good friend of mine in Brooklyn had an 87' GNX. NICE CAR!!!! Just called him to tell him about the posting. It really brought back some good memories. Thanx again

  21. the gnx had 300 hp, motor trend tested one years ago, also i read that the 89 turbo ta used the gnx engine. why not include the callaway turbo corvettes people could buy them at chevy dealerships and they were the fastest cars in the world in the late 80s. good video, i always love to see the cars i wanted when i was a kid in action.

  26. Great vid, tho most of these aren't stock, with some tweaking and mods, you'll have a classic more than holding it's own with modern cars. 86-87 Buick Turbo Regals #1

  36. Muscle cars, without muscle.. these synthol cars lol.. the 307 was in everything with its quadrocrap carb.. no power.. only car that got 80s muscle was the grand national.. but all others were looks without performance

  39. the 70's were dark days for American Automobiles. It was like they opened the hood and poured it level with vacuum lines. They barely ran, but when you turned them off they would diesel the rest of the day. Yeah, you could mod them sometimes, but depending where you lived you might have to keep the emission controls on there and get tested. Most of the styling was for $h1t too.
