What a delightful trip down the memory lane of cars that could only be loved by those who lived through them or those who enjoy watching other people’s enthusiasm for relics from the era of mullets and big hair. The 1980s, with its imaginative designs as creative as a washing machine on ‘creative’ mode, produced vehicles that could make even a snail look like a racing champion. It’s amazing how the Camaro Z28, with its top speed of 108 MPH, managed to be ‘incredible’ despite its ‘performance drop’ that would make a snail blush. And Pontiac, with the Trans Am and Firebird, must have been thrilled to be compared to a car that started in a movie that was more about beer and fast cars than about the Trans Am itself. The Dodge Charger Shelby GLHS, with its ‘Goes Like Hell’ moniker, might just be the only car that could live up to its name in a decade full of cars that went ‘like not much at all’. The Ford Mustang LX 5.0? Well, it beat the Camaro in speed, which is like a piglet beating a snail in a race. And let’s not forget the Pontiac Turbo Trans Am, the Indy Pace car with the flat-out quickest car of its day… except that day, wasn’t the Indy 500. This list is like a treasure hunt for car enthusiasts who have a penchant for the absurd and a wallet that can afford the absurdity.
