Average disappointment finding one in your vehicle: high. LQ8/LQ9 GM “Iron Duke” I4: Average hp: 87. Seeing “serious shit” at 88mph? That probably meant when the rods would come out of the block.ġ0. It was rated for 150hp in Europe, but was choked to 130hp for the U.S. The “PRV” stands for Peugeot, Renault, Volvo…not quite the manufacturers that came to mind for performance in the 1980s.
But for a car that the father of the Pontiac GTO designed, the car had absolutely no guts. The stainless body, designed by Giugiaro, had seemed to predict the nose of the early Fox mustang and the tail of the 3 rd Gen Camaro. 2.8L PRV ZMJ-159 V6: The DeLorean DMC-12’s body was pure Eighties sexiness, with just a touch of exotica. Here’s the negative end, the Top 11 Worst Engines of the 1980s.ġ1. And that was the positive end of the scale. The musclecar movement was only just starting to show a sign of life after being on an iron lung for ten years, and the hottest supercars from Italy were cranking out maybe 400hp. Things were good…unless you were into cars. Chevy Chase going ballistic at his family.
