Hold On

I owned one of those and it was a blast ! I used to be a strait line muscle car fan. At the time those were feared on the street ..

EspritS4s

How about:
Audi Ur-Quattro
Pantera GT5-S
Lamborghini Jalpa (or Countach)
Camaro IROC-Z28
Testarossa (or Mondial, or 328 GTS or F40) or a 412 if a back seat is a requirement.

Porsche 959

There were a lot of interesting choices at the time.

oooo, let's not forget about the 1987 Dodge Daytona TurboZ! (had one of them too, first car).



Look familiar?

Friend of mine owned a Grand National, it was a lot of fun to drive around in but 80's american design and meterials. I truely do want to get a Pantera GTS-5.

Ordered a two tone white over silver 87 Corvette with most options. List price was approx $ 33,000, and I paid $ 26,600. An old friend bought it from me in 1992 and still has it in his garage with only 58,000 miles. A new 928 S4 was a little out of my price range at that time. T

I worked on them. The biggest problem was the oil leaks from all the boost.
Left old mills GM dealership for a test drive and waiting for a spot in traffic.
When I saw a spot i jumped on it to hard and she went straight side ways across 2 lanes and lined up for the 401 ramp. he he what a run I had.
It was not slow.

The big thing with it was that it was the first time GM used a V-6 with that kind of turbo boost and surprised even themselves

I'm still in love with Buick Turbos.

I'm always eyeing a few GNs and GNXs, still haven't pulled the trigger due to parking space limitations. Primarily I look for unmodified GNs which are exceedingly rare.

We all have our loves and lust for other makes and models. One of mine just happen to be Buicks.

finally!

Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo.. Had a 1990, kick myself for having sold it. only had a bit over 40k miles when sold 3 years ago.. :P

I knew someone once who had a lot of really, really special cars. A Maserati Quatroporte Series III, A Ferrari Daytona Coupe, A Ferrari Testarossa. He had tons of Ferrari's over the years.

Regardless, he had *** 4 *** of these Grand Nationals and I had the pleasure of experiencing a short, albeit unforgettable blast in one of them. One was heavily worked even, and made the factory ones look anemic in comparison.

I can't imagine an uglier dashboard, and at first was hard for me to comprehend considering his tastes in his other cars. After that ride, I understood. lol

This car, once, was an INCREDIBLE bang for the buck, at least as far as short straight-line driving was concerned...

As I recall, he felt that they had discontinued them after such a short run as Buick had switched the next model year over to front wheel drive, so they had to drop this beast... :-(

It still think they're ugly, but, DAM - these things move. On the other hand, I really appreciate the lines of Citroens, so what do I know?

blown 87

With a little work there are still damn few street cars that can keep up with one down the 1/4.
