Lol, I know.. I clicked on the link and was like "wtf"? I did find a 1985 video of the Mustang vs Firebird vs Camaro. Crazy to see big V8's that only had 200hp

A very sad time in automotive history.....some of us lived through it....from remembering the 60 muscle cars of parents and uncles as we grew up to the 70's smog pumped chocked engines and the gas crisis to the 80's garbage that we had to drive, with bold new stickers and T-Tops. You "kids" under 35 have no idea how great you have it now with all the really great cars to choose from. The 70's and 80's were bleak....I will not watch that video.

I think the 82 camaro and 5.0 were the two cars that took us out of that era brother... Then came the T type, grand national, monnte carlo SS, The cougar xr7, Cutlass 442. Later on the Taurus SHo n 5.0 thunderbird SC. Those cars in the 80's were the reason why the japanese got so competitive in the 90's. Not only giving us muscle car power with half the discplacement, but also giving us supercar handling.
1974-1981 were the bleak years.

I had an 87 monte carlo ss back in 90. Paid $4,000 for it loaded 30,000 miles. That was a steal!!!!

I paid $1500 for mine , Ripped it all apart and stared over again, I loved that car , was Lexus purple and had a old Plymouth 440 hood scope glassed into the hood for the SC to sit

I like how back in 1982 a 200 HP Camaro was a dangerous weapon, but today a car that is 500 lbs lighter with the same HP is laughably slow.
