  • The 1980s was a decade and time of big ideas, big hair, new technologies, big sounds, and most importantly, for us and you, huge advances in the automotive industry and a return to brute power. We can all see that there has been something of an 80s revival in the U.S., some for the good, some for the bad, but if there is one thing that we can all be proud to see stay popular, are the muscle cars of the era.
    With leading car manufacturers of the time, like Ford, Dodge, Buick, and Chevrolet all bringing their A-game in the 1980s and making the most of some great V-engines, there are some insanely cool boxy muscle cars from the 1980s still turn heads today
    All the cars on our list of 1980s muscle cars have been chosen for their awesome performance stats, for their funky design, retro appeal, how they changed the automotive world, and for their down-right legendary status. So, whether you are looking for a drag-strip beast or a comfy cruiser, there will be one here that'll get that nostalgic heart of yours thumping to the electronic synth beat.

    You missed one: the 1984 Ford Mustang SVO. The turbo four under the hood left little to be desired. It was a powerhouse, and possibly predecessor to the current CJ5E EcoBoost turbo four in the base Mustang.

    Um, question: In a video featuring 80s Muscle Cars, why on earth would you feature a Cutlass Supreme, and not even mention a Mustang?? If you were using performance as a benchmark, what about the Taurus SHO? Surely that was more "muscle" than a Cutlass Supreme or even a Cougar for that matter.
    Also, explain the how the Cutlass dash was "wrap around" It's about as arrow straight as a Kansas highway. The 'fire glass" hood on the Camaro also made me chuckle.
