I pretty much try to block out most of the 80's but a few nice cars did hit the streets during that time. For me, Buick Grand National. I still think about picking one up.

/\rcanum

Mustang SVO....or the original M3's with the high spoilers.

Damn, forgot about the SVO stang :(

Nice choices.

/\rcanum

I miss the Lamborghini Countach - nothing screams 80's excess like one of those :D
Otherwise, I like the FC3S RX-7 Savannah's alot. And the JA70 Supra. And the R32 Skyline GT-R. And the Z32 Fairlady (300ZX).

<----------- belongs in the 80s... Damn! Haha!

I wish I could remember where I found the stats but I read the WRX was quicker than the Countach in 0-60 and 1/4 mile. Just amazing how far performance was come in a decade and a half.

/\rcanum

The 80's did rule, I may just have to pop in the Wedding Singer

Umm yeah it's all about the '86-'89 Subaru RX Turbo hatchbacks. Although I suppose my opinion is a tad bit biased maybe cuz I have one?

although they weren't much in the performance department, i vote for the fiero. owned one and it was a blast to drive. that and if i was going someplace i didn't have a bunch of people asking me to drop them off somewhere along the way.

I think you were responding to my post...so in response to yours, it WILL be much in the performance department. I'm workin' on it :-) It'll take time though, I'm broke.

I just sold my RA65... I miss it already, even though it was a turd. The Z is much better though. I can't believe I got it so cheap too. $1000 for a classic that needs maybe 10% restoration, and has nothing urgent needing to be fixed, replaced, or maintained.

I left CO about 7 months ago, I miss it. But warm weather has some good points. I will have a BBQ for Christmas, just seems too wierd not to do it. And yes, I think you could take BAN SUVS.

I do believe using the word "n00b" is off limits. And FYI my automatic RS loves me and I love her. We're very happy together.

Postwhoring and the :monkey: are off limits too. Go tell a mod.

Yeah, I left Texas 8 years ago. I don't miss it. It's all about the cold weather (although I also love heat and humidity and pollution, I'm completely 100% serious, I swear). Hmm BBQ for Christmas. I should do that just to torture everyone ;-) Bwahaha. And yeah, he knows I could take him. He just doesn't want to admit it. That's the beauty of the internet.

So there's this not-so-cool 80's Mustang at my school. I wonder if I'd get in trouble for accidentally blowing it up?

Sorry. I'm cool, he's not. I rest my case.

An escort GT would be a SWEET rally beater... because it would be really fun to roll it in a ditch every couple weeks.

Smoking unusual objects is funny, and that dancing banana rocks. Right, bro?

Hell yeah!

Oh, and Lambo's are cool cuz they look funny. There. I said it. They're funny looking, they make me laugh when I see them, they're so weird lookin' :D
Now Ferrari's, they're pimp! Even the ol skoo ones have looks that could kill! I just like the Countach as the perennial 80's car b/c it's so appropriate: loud, funny looking, and makes you feel good in ways that you won't admit to your buddies over lunch :D

I've heard enough of BAN SUVS smoking bananas. Find a girl! :)

In fact, even though saying it out loud in the presence of most of my friends would get me hung (and I don't mean well), I am coming out and saying that

Whoa is that Renault some kinda Cleo Sport grandaddy or sumthin'? Pretty kewl :D

The Renault was some wierd rear engined turbo car that they built for what reason, I don't know. I do believe they were able to throw down high 14 or low 15 second times. It looks funny.

It was in GT2... sweet car. Kicked booty in its class races.

I missed it in GT2. I just may have to check it out tonight if I can find my memory card.

1983 the little vette RX7. I bought this for a thousand, sold it for a thousand :(

Mazda 323 GTX :D

I agree the 323 GTX was and still is fun as hell. A friend of mine had one and we used to field bomb around his house, I got spanked everytime. :D

Nash does it for me also :)

Actually, now that I think about it, the 80's were ALL about Burt's badass 6.6Litre Firechicken!

XT6! :D

Porsche 959
Toyota AE86 GT-S
Mazda RX7 FC3S
Nissan R32
Delorean -sp?-(was this made in the 80's? can't remember, but it sure looks like it)

My short list of uber 80's cars that are realistic to achieve:

1. Ur Quattro
2. 280 ZX Turbo (evil grin)
3. Renault R5
4. Ford RS200 (might be the only Ford I'd ever like!)
5. FC3S RX7....sweet cars, awesome balance, very very easy to drive very very fast


then there are the usual suspects....the Countach LP5000, the 959, F40, but best of all (to me): 288 GTO

I always liked the look of the Mitsubishi Conquest TSi. It had those fat rear wheels and fender flares that looked pretty aggressive. Plus, Jackie Chan drove one in one of those Cannonball movies! :D
