I know there is more so I will add them later

944 Turbo


and others..

also the BMW M1 and E30 M3, suprised that's not on your list

944's run relatively cheap now i think.

Let's see, aside form pretty much everything on SBF's list:
'89 Corvette ZR-1
'84 Corvette (Just because I like the original rears on those things)
'81 Corvette (my birth year)
Chevy Malibu
R31 GTSR
Z31 300ZX
T-Bird Turbo Coupe
Ferrari Testarossa
Ferrari 348tb
Ferrai 308 GTS (Cue Magnum PI theme)
Lotus Esprit
Foxbody Mustang SVO (was that 80's? or Early 90's?)
Buick Grand National/GNX
Monte Carlo SS Aero
Pontiac GP GT Aerocoupe (that's the trifecta!)
Later-era DeTomaso Pantera
Porsche 928
Volkswagen Corrado/Scirocco
Original MR2 (Turbo)
BMW M1/M3/M5/M6
Mk3 Supra
Celica GT-S

oh and maybe one of these. with a GNX motor swap. not the grenade it actually comes with.


and maybe its funny Italian cousin.

Also throwing out there:

Daytona Turbo
Shelby CSX
AMC Eagle
Taurus SHO (hey, 1989 counts)
Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe

If you're talking about the original original MR2, the AW11 was supercharged. The SW20 was released in 89 so still counts though. Along with:

NA MX5
Z32 300ZX
R32 Skyline
However, I'm not sure if iconic 90s cars are in the spirit of an 80s car list. They're not cheesy enough. Which is why my list would be:

84 Celica Supra
84 Iroc Camaro
85 323i
Ferrari 328
Porsche 944
Jeep Cherokee
Audi Quattro
FC Mazda RX7 Turbo

A list of ten:

2nd gen RX-7 Turbo
Corvette ZR-1
Ford Mustang LX 5.0Litre
Porsche 944
Porsche 928
Dodge Shelby Charger GLHS
Buick Regal GNX
Chevrolet Camaro IROC
Nissan 300zx Turbo
Ford Taurus SHO

Lamborghini Countach
Ferrari F40

those things are so huge, he'd probably cause a traffic snarl everytime he makes a right turn.

HEY!

those are sweet big "american muscle" cars


moreso than the panda 4x4, autovaz 2107 or the mitsubishi colt

eh. I'd stop a little ways short of calling them muscle cars.

But Europeans love their big old fullsize American sedans. probably just because they're so different then what they normally have accessible to them.

but I totally forgot about the BMW 8-series! they did come out in '89. I guess i just more considered then 90's cars.

And I forgot about the car I always intended to own - E34 BMW 535i.

Since I don't actually find 80s cars desirable anymore, I'm revising my cars to a flashback of my first car shortlist:

BMW 323i manual
BMW 535i manual
Honda CRX
Honda Integra
Ford Laser 4WD Turbo
Nissan R31 Skyline
Toyota AW11 MR2
Toyota Celica

Of course, I ended up with a Civic. But that was a good 80s car too.

Testarossa

1st generation Rx-7
MR2
85-87 Toyota Corolla GTS
Lada Niva
Mitsubishi Starion
Subaru BRAT
Omni GLH
Taurus SHO
Sunbeam Talbot Lotus
Hyundai Pony
ford fiesta mkI
Pre-lit Westfield
Ford Capri III 2.8 injection
and best of all Isdera Imperator 108i
