The Early 80s Mercury Capri Turbo RS
The infamous Mercury Capri vehicle was first produced in Europe until being imported to the United States and sold with Ford’s other performance vehicle lineup. This particular vehicle had not been bad in terms of being sellable since it had competitively stayed in the market for an extended period of time despite the many things people hated about it.
Among the worst aspects of the vehicle is the well-known fact that it can notoriously be unreliable, with frequent breakdowns. Because of this very essential flaw, prices were cut on this vehicle which, for some reason, actually made the vehicle more sought-after in certain markets.
The Early 80s Chevrolet Corvette California 305
The stringent federal pollution restrictions that emerged with the early 80s Corvette California 305 put an end to its heyday. The intentions to install a bigger engine were abandoned due to regulations requiring the Corvette company to have a more compact motor inside their vehicles.
Rather than the 200 horsepower predicted, the freshly upgraded V8 engine currently produces only a measly 180 horsepower. Following the regulatory requirements, the manufacturing company found another means to enhance the engine’s performance by the following model year which turned out good for the company.
