For the 1989 model year. You could choose a 235hp L98 or the 225hp LB9. Also the 250hp engine from the Buick Grand National was available in the Trans Am. Miami Vice ran until 1990

The most 80s car is the Porsche 944.
>>
>>15178180
The Testarossa represents Ferrari's transition to an image/lifestyle brand. The Testarossa was unreliable, ridiculously expensive to maintain, and it was outclassed on a track. Lamborghini really stepped up their game with the Diablo in 1990. Ferrari's response was the 512TR, a facelifted-Testarossa whose performance was closer to the Countach than the Diable.

You'd think that by now someone of the many millionaire Countach owners would've coughed up the money to do a small run of Euro bumper reproductions to replace those awful fucking rubber moustaches on US models.

This is why you should never try to neuter your dog at home. Leave it to the professionals

Ok, they might not, but hear me out.

It took 50 fucking years for classic aesthetics to come back, in a really fucked way in the SSR.

Maybe in 20 years we will get the based 80's design back. Some /o/tistic designer who will probably start college soon who has the based 80's aesthetic in mind can push that into the industry again, once they work their way up.

nope. Federally mandated safety regulations are killing what cars look like, pretty soon we all will be using self driving giant padded eggs with no windows only cameras.

85 hp? Yeah, maybe the low early production Iron Duke kek.
Like someone else said, once TPI 350s were introduced they made 200-230 hp and 300-340 torque. Not to mention the Turbo TA which was at a wayy underrated 250 hp, outperforming corvettes.
