Never was a car guy...with the farm mostly grew up on 2 wheels.

 

Anyway, has the Monte Carlo SS been mentioned?  No idea strip numbers but it was a good looking piece of metal.

My brother had an '86. It was a nice car but very tame.

I liked it but I never would describe it as fast. 

A buddy had that silly 4 banger turbo SVO mustang of the same year and that would run circles around the monte. I had a z28 Camaro of the same vintage and it was a dog but it was cool enough and I am not Italian. 

I always had bikes that would make fun of anything produced in the 80's. If I wanted to go fast it was easier on two wheels.

I picked up a 2019 Mustang with a 4 cylinder engine for my 15 year old son. That thing is sick fun and fast.  It has a 10 speed auto transmission with a track racing mode and paddle shifters on the wheel.  I would never have thought you could tweet that much power out of a four banger. I would never have believed it, had I not driven it myself. It is more fun that many cars twice it’s price, which was $39K before tax. 

America, the country so great that even its haters refuse to leave.

You bought your 15 year old son a $40,000 car?  That’s a nice dad.

The best US made car of the 80’s would be the Buick Grand National.

Shooting a coon in a 60ft tree out of a boat in the dark holding a flashlight can be tricky. ..

The Grand National was made ‘82-‘87

 

What US manufacturer made a better vehicle?

 

I bought a new Toyota Supra in ‘82 and paid $5K over sticker because US cars were so lousy.

I bought my daughter a 1980 Trans Am for her first car. Nice looking car and had low mileage and the price was right. It had the 301 V8. What a ****ing dog that thing was. I think it made all of 155hp. The build quality sucked really bad too. 

Looked just like this. Same color and all.

Was it the naturally aspirated 301 or the Turbo 4.9?
