I did have an opertunity to drive a 84' Vette... had the "4+4" trans I think?? it was... was... like diving a not so really fast car as long as a station wagon that holds 2 people. I scraped the cowling on a curb I remember... long nose & I did not judge it right.
Now a 1983 Drag Car.... now we are talkin'. "1983" was the penicle of meritocracy (dont know if that is spelled right) MARGINAL not so good cars... & trucks for that matter. Let's name a few: K cars, Ford Fairmonts, Crysler Cordoba, my girl friend (blonde) had a 1983 Toyota Tercel which was a triangle with 4 wheels, Was the GRANADA gone by 83??? We had the Buick front wheel drive vechiles with crappy V6 bombs, Can't forget the Omni, "Rampage" & Mirada... talk about some real barn-stormers. Good times 1983... good times.
