1985 was the first year of the IROC. Coincidentally, my old college roommate owns an 85. The early TPI years suck, so the IROC wouldn't be my first choice. A GNX would be the obvious choice.

1969 - It'd have to be a Corvette Stingray convertible with a 427. I'd take red, black, blue or dark green.

With 300bhp and easy mid-13 second quarter mile potential, probably one of the fastest cars around at that point in time. Plus I'm a fan of anything 911.

the joke with that is.. there was no official vette produced in 1983.... GM claims to have made a bunch as we discussed earlier, but they were either destroyed, or moved off to the 1984 year.....
Now with that being said... how can you say there was nothing good in the early 80s..... Do you not like exotics?
Quick google search for "1983 cars" https://images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=A0LEV7j3Sa1UMmYAa14PxQt.?p=1983+cars&fr=&fr2=piv-web&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-001

I do like exotics, I was actually gonna say about the Porsche. I think Lamborghini made a couple nice coupes that year also. I thought this was American cars only tho. Also the 83 trans am is a favorite of mine. I didn't like the camaro much that year it had the early body kit where the skirts didn't flare out much I liked the later 3rd gen camaro better. I forgot about them not making the vette in 83!

I've always liked the Countach, 911's are awesome, the BMW M1 was pretty bad ass; but I think the car that fits me best would be the 10th anniversary T/A with 400/ 4 speed combo
31387
BTW: the Countach V12 was Lamborghini's SBC equivalent. They used that motor through the 90's, at least. I think it's a pretty Damn solid drivetrain
