The dark ages of performance

People are always looking for some kind of performance car, no matter how lame the times are. I think the tape stripe muscle cars such as the Aspen R/T, Volare Road Runner, Z/28, Trans Am and Cobra Mustangs of the late 70's did a good job of holding on to the spirit of the muscle cars until the 80's when turbo Buicks and Mopars starting adding a little punch to the line up. I'd like to have a V8 Cobra Mustang II or a Trans Am myself. The Buick GN was the most sinister car of the 80's IMO. I'd take one of those too.
