1980 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Turbo I mean can you name me a sports car from the sametime (That was sold in the US) that look just as good as the TurboBird. --- Post updated --- My dad own the coupe version of that.
I said sold in America, aka USDM models, they looked like this back then basically the same as the 75 and 91 model, also don't dis the Screaming Chicken
I guess it takes a certain person to enjoy the graphics, however I don't understand how you Americans can squeeze just 210hp out of a 4.9L turbocharged V8.
Cafe standards is the answer, we could've push out 350 horses with a 375 cu in, but insurance and the oil boycott ruin that.
I get that, what confuses me is why American motor companies didn't investing other smaller, more powerful engine layouts with less emissions and better economy, instead of just sticking to a heavy, under-powered V8?
Ah, the good ol' Iron Duke. 2.5L Fuel-Injected I4, 110hp. The engine layouts I was talking about were, yes, Inlines, but also smaller 90 degree V layouts, Boxer engines and opposed piston layouts.
