I worked my way up to the handling, torque, and horsepower thing from the mid '80s to the mid '00s. My buddy Danny in the video above is still all in and has been a big force in the SCCA, Good guys, Optima, and LS scenes. My Yellow monster still lives in the garage, but doesn't see much action right now.
Found this Gem of a picture on my SCCA Crew license from back in the day

Ahhh this brings back the days when we could still grow hair in more places then our nose and ears.
 
Put a lightning rod on a plane and connect to a motor. Make it a glider and every so often when a lightning bolt hits the plane and charges the motor the plane pitches up and gains altitude.

I forget what year it was, but the butt just got really boxy and bad. Your's is one of the last years I really liked.

After a quick google, looks like it was the late 80s that got bad. EGADZ!

This kinda reminds me of the Monza II a friend of mines old girl friend had we were building a blown 350 to throw in once they split up and he got the title hehe. The late 80's in general and worse yet the 90s is when cars really started to suck. They all looked the same like there were only 3 body designers left in the world. For a while you couldn't tell if a car was a Camaro , Mustang, or Charger. even today they mostly look like poorly designed bodys stolen from failed match box cars. Very few unique or interesting body styles any more. Wont even get started on those ugly electric cars.
