Yes actually, its equivalent to the Mitsubishi Starion. Cool little cars.

As for my favorite car from the 80's scene, do you really have to ask?

"Camaro Z28 - Best Handling American Car" -Car and Driver, 1984

Honestly I'm not a fan of any car made in the 80's. It's either 60's or nothing if you are talking about old cars...

Tbirds are cool. i had a 93 Tbird supercoupe which can kind of be considered an 80s car since the model started in 1989.

what about the muscle car kings of the early 70's? and 50's? jeebus... there are cool cars from every era, you just have to dig around a bit.

as far as 80's vehicles, i REALLY want a mid 80's Monte Carlo SS with an LSX/T56.

1986-1987 GN



Almost had one too, a pristine one owner 86 T-Type with ~75k miles for 6k. I ended up buying my T/A though, and every time I see one I get the "what if" thought.

Not that I don't love LSx's, but that car would look great parked next to my Skylark haha
