Don't be a hater, Joe. They weren't bad little cars for what they were. (And, no, I never owned one but I did ride in a couple.)
Sorry, didn’t mean to offend anyone, or sound like a hater….I keep forgetting how the 1980’s were in regards to “performance” cars…..it was a very lean time to be sure. It was a time when many nameplates were being used to sell so-called performance cars….names like the Challenger, Charger, Road Runner, RT, Daytona, Cobra, Z28, etc, etc. In the 80’s if you had anywhere near 200 HP you had a powerful car….That’s why Surfer Vans, and Mini trucks become so popular…if you couldn’t go fast, might as well just look good cruising.
An old girlfriend had a Shelby Charger in the 80’s…fun and fast car for what it was, but it wasn’t a Charger in my mind….
