Default Cars from the 80's that are cooler than a MeerkuR

Quad 4 Cutlass
Probe Gt, the ones with the turbo motor
Taurus SHO
Spirit R/T
Lumina Z34 '91ish model, close enough.
Omni GLHS
Daytona
Eclipse/Laser/Talon <-sold as '90 model, but close enough fro my list damnit.
Beretta GTZ/GTU
Thunderbird Turbo Coupe
VW GTI
Ford Aerostar Van. You can get them with a 4.0/5 speed combo.
Mclaren Pontiac Grand Prix

Feel free to add you own lesser known but still more cool than a MeErKuR cars to the list. LOL.

Go to Kelly blue book, choose any year in the 80's then go to any vehicle. That's the list.... Lol

Since its my list I'm going to give it a cut off time of Vanilla Ice. Early 90's is still period correct. Therefor I add the '92ish Nissan Maxima. Pretty much as quick as a SHO.

Also '91 sentra se-r.

Awwww sheeet, was hoping no one would notice it's actually a 240 lol. Regardless, the 280's looked very similar. I think we can agree that it looks better than the Meerkat though.
