My only ‘80s car is a diesel Benz sedan with a non-functioning turbo and some 400+ thousand miles. So... not a sports car so much.

Correction: read it as post-80s cars. Never mind.

And one of these (in use)

Not mine, but I helped a buddy swap his blown 7M for a slightly warmed over 7M.

Did they make a factory turbo convertible? I had a new convertible in 1990 and it was one of my favorite cars ever - considered a turbo swap a couple of times but eventually moved to NYC and sold it since I didn’t need a car.

Lol, me and my buddy saw the cleanest 3rd gen we’d seen in close to a decade this saturday. White with the white five spoke stockers. Turbo, gave the guy a thumbs up at the stoplight.

Oh and my old 80's car i no longer have...
1988 all-trac

Hopefully soon! I’ve got the tires mounted and I have a beefier 8.8 rear axle that’s going to go in at some point to replace the expected to explode eventually 7.5 rear. I have some electrical gremlins that are keeping it in the garage. Hopefully it all gets sorted eventually.

Numbers are on too:

Basically I made a decision as to what was going to be the MOST FUN way to get around the RallyX Course, not necessarily the fastest. The answer was definitely RWD + V8. I don’t give a crap if I win, I just want to have as much fun as I can and go fast. If you’ve never driven a V8 Foxbody they basically feel like an enclosed go kart with a V8 out front.

It should be insane.

Nice. I have a ‘95 probe sitting in my driveway (that one day i will eventually get the water pump fixed on) that I plan to rallycross to death.

Wanted something with more comfort, power, and reliability. So I sold the AWD turbo Mazda to buy a different AWD turbo Mazda.
