The dark ages of performance
This is a tuff quest, to find a performance car of the late 70's and all the 80's since the ever tightening regulations of what came out the tail pipe.
The Poncho's Trans Am with a bit of movie help.
The Camaro sold well.
The Stang's didn't do much until the Fox body platform came around.
MoPar didn't have anything of note for awhile. The Apsen R/T and such rides were far worse offerings with poor taste buds designing them. The GHL & GHLS were interesting packages NOT calling to any passed buyers of MoPar cars at all. The Charger with the turbo's had some good pep and I have ridden in a few with the upgraded MoPar packages. While it was a serious upgrade note worthy, IMO, the body was still bad. I did like the "Shelby" addition Daytonas.
However, by the time they were out, Chevy had a nice looking S/S Monte and the Stangs Fox body was out making the reare wheel drive crowd happy... to a point.
