Just some perspective on how awesome cars are now, if soulless. But look how bad they suuuuuuucked at the height (bottom?) of the bad years. Carb V8s with 150hp... 1/4 mile time around 16 seconds.... The highest performance cars of 1982 would have their asses handed to them by the 2023 Honda Oddessy minivan, never mind any other car. Another vid had the 83 Celica Supra with a 0-60 time of........wait...... 9.1 seconds.
I still remember being on my paper route, it was still dark out and had just stopped raining. It was cold and foggy and someone on my route had one of the brand new 83 Thunderbirds with the flush headlights and the aero shaped body.... covered on rain drops, poorly light by a streetlight, it looked like a space ship...
I love watching the old Motorweeks. Mainly because I remember watching them when they were first aired.
