    There was no such thing as a Ford Mustang GT back in 1980 as the GT was dropped from the Mustang from 1970 until 1981 and the Mustang GT returned in 1982.

    These were the cars of my youth and we raced them every chance we got and I never ever saw any Camaro outrun the Fox Body Mustang. Never. And I was a Camaro owner back then. I hated the 5.0 and secretly loved it. The guys with Camaros would avoid the Mustangs

    I would have been annoyed if you hadn't included the Grand National or GNX. Incidentally, in the GNX footage, it showed the GN several times as it talked about the GNX. Incidentally, that (and maybe the ZL1) was the only one that you got the pricing right. The others the price listed seemed to be closer to average condition vehicles.

    80 were my teen yrs. Got to drive and own a bunch of those cars, 4 eye Mustang GTs, IROC z, C4 corvettes
    Id say about 85 guys really started paying attention to them, the hp wars were back!!!
    Most of us built 60s muscle as they destroyed new cars in power...but this era started to make that tougher.
    Never woulda guessed one could sign some papers and walk out the dealer in a 500hp 12 sec car with a warranty.
    Unheard of!
    We live in a great time, not that long in the future teenagers will be laughing at our "gas dinosaur car era" toys. Watch.
    Drive these if ya got em what are you saving it for?
    Most cases there is no next guy they dont want them.

    The IROC Camero never looked like a Camero. It was a rust bucket after 5 years. The Camero was a slow Muscle car, except for the Police interceptor, sold to the Indiana State police. They were supercharged and could do 160 m.p.h..
    Now, the C5 Corvette was capable of doing 200 m.p.h.. Not 120 m.p.h.. The Corvette was a real Muscle car!
    The Pontiac Trans AM was just another IROC Camero. JUNK!
    The Fox Body Ford Mustang was a good Muscle car, but didn't look like a Mustang. It was a rebadge Capri.
    The Pontiac Feiro had engine problems with the V 6. It blew up!🤣
    The Pontiac Grand National was a good Muscle car. Except when the V 6 engine gave out and the turbo wore out.

    I had one of those 1984 black silver and red pinstripe. Well I always thought of those cars as a big Vega. I mean a hot rod with a hatchback. That's funny. I like my 67RS. And my 79 Z28 but that big Vega. That was a piece of work even with the 4speed

      you're right; the 1979 TA had the 6.6 Litre 403 Olds V8. It was in 1980 when the 4.9 Litre Turbo 301 V8 was on the scene.

    The Fiero was never a muscle car. The 80's fox body Mustangs were actually faster in the lower trims, I think it was the LX. That car was faster because it was lighter. The GT was definitely not the fastest Mustang in the mid 80's.

  • @MANIsackXayVONGsomSACK

    I really missed my 1990 IROC - Z. My high school car i dropped the car about 2inhes. Had a trans am gta gold rims. Turbo hood with Testarossa rear hatch window and with F40 spoiler. I had a cragger louvers before that painted it red. I had a fire red car with red interior. Tow truck towed from the rear the wind snapped it in half. American thunder exhaust sets every car alarm off😅. I drove it up to 270k smiles😂 I'm an exotic car guy really want to do more at that time I was still young with little money. I wanted a wide body kit. Great memories I burn every tire every year.
