- In this video, we take a look at performance cars from the 1980s that you might have forgotten about or maybe didn’t even know existed.
Muscle Cars had all but become extinct by the times the 1980s rolled around, but there were some performance cars being sold that weren’t by definition true muscle cars but instead carried on their spirit and even included good handling characteristics as well as some pep under the hood.
These are in no particular order, so let’s spend a few minutes going back to the automotive world of the 1980s to see what that decade had to offer.

A shame about the Fiero. That 88 model is beautiful and really does seem like they were going somewhere with it. I miss Pontiac.
This video makes me miss my silver ‘85 Monte Carlo SS! There were a lot of cool cars back then.
The 1986 Buick Grand National is my favorite. I’m building one now.
GLHS Intercooled Omni. Always been a Mopar guy, and this little unassuming hatchback just got my attention during high school.
I have always loved the look of the all black Grand National!
I have an '86 Fiero GT, it's a wonderful and fun car! ❤
Well done! I had forgotten about some of these and had never seen others. Thanks for taking us back....I can smell the velour now!
Why does GM always kill off a car right when they're perfecting it? The Fiero was great. Even when it first came out.
I saw a Hurst old 4 speed.White black and terror black convertible top 4 speed at a car show.Elizabeth city last year original owner beautiful car
Best one of all was the very last one, the Buick GNX!😀
My favourite 80s car was my 1986 Merkur XR4TI. It was the underpinnings of the Mustang SVO with the body of the European Ford Sierra.
It was quick and fast for the time and looked so weird that people were confused.
Mine was frighteningly fast, satisfyingly quick and made blasts on twisty roads an absolute event.
I miss mine even though it had the wrong spark plugs.
The original Fiero was made by putting the front end of a Chevette and the front end of a Sunbird on either side of the passenger compartment.
It was a brilliant idea, no less of a bad idea as Porsche basing it's top performers off the Beetle.
I had a black 86 Monte Carlo SS new in 86 t- tops man you might could ask me something but ya couldn’t tell me nothing 😂😎miss them good ole days guess my 1969 camaro RS will just have to do today 😎
Owned an '89 Formula 350. Fastest car I ever owned. Faster than the '94 Corvette I still have in the garage. Motor would twist the unibody and the steering wheel took a light touch as it would head for the ditch when you let off the gas. I got used to that. 0 to 100mph in about 10 seconds. Nice nice power band from 2000rpm to about 4500rpm. You could wind it up harder but that mid range was where the power was at. Loved chirping the tires on the 1-2 shift... nice and easy like it happened by accident. It would accidentally spin the tires if you took off from a stop light in a hurry. Drove it hard for over 5 years and never broke anything.
The Fiero design was ahead of it's time.
Loved my 87 Fiero GT
GM should have allowed Pontiac to release the 1990 Fiero. I think it would have sold well.
They did. They just called it a Camaro.
I bought a Brand New 1989 Shelby Dakota and put a Built 360
8:21 yes please, I'll take 10, all in red, thank you.
I had a 1993 Thunderbird SC from 2000-2005. It was a huge sleeper.
GM can screw up a one car parade! Cancelling Pontiac ...and of course the Firebird and Fiero.
dodge omni GLH
First gen Fieros were also quite prone to bursting into flames... :) I responded to many burning fieros back in the days.
I would still love to have one. I really want an 88 GT manual, but I'd take a base 84 automatic. I want to rebuild it anyway
Swap the engine for a Kawasaki H2R. Then it's really fast.
