Wow, a lot of misinformation even in the first few minutes with the history of "muscle cars"..."Back in the 80's small cubic-inch and turbo was not a very popular idea, we were still in that big cubic-inch big horsepower thing". He's about 10 years off; big cubes & power died a sorry death in the early 70's. Throughout the mid- to late 70's and 80's, the state of muscle cars was totally sad. Chrysler 440's went from 375 hp in the 60's down to barely 200 by 1973. You could still get big cube motors in cars, but they were gas-guzzling, smog-crippled slugs. The GN's competition in the late 80's wasn't other cars from the 80's, as it was pretty much the only bright light on the entire horizon in '86/'87. Corvettes were tepid, Camaros were lame, and only 5.0 Mustangs--done up to the nuts--had a chance.
