that hurt about the 959…..
One of your top most interesting vids IMO , Doug!! Thanks!
My first car was an Omni GLH. Had a two barrel carburetor. 110 hp. At the time road and track said that it was the best handling front wheel drive car they ever tested.

We need an Omni GLHS review Doug
Doug: There were no good performance cars of the 80s.
Also Doug: These 80s performance cars were so awesome!!!
Hate those hatchbacks. Sorry not my thing.
You have a t-shirt with PRAHA on it. Thats my hometown! Nice Doug, well played. I like you even more now.
Most of my favorite 80’s cars were never sold in the US, and most of them were homologation cars.
Hey, you were in my hometown of Prague having the t-shirt with Praha (Czech for Prague) on you?
I cannot believe the Vector is on this list, but I guess it's the rarity and weirdness. It was full of tech and very ambitious, but I think it's a piece of crap.
(And my opinion is based on Doug's own video review of that car)
nice T-shirt
there are LHD r32 gtrs in peru😏
Renault R5 Turbo
What’s the car at the beginning? Mitsubishi galant or diamanté?
M1 is cool, not super obsessed with it
Litterally my first dream car lol
I thought the 300z came out in '89 ?? Was it for the '90 model year?
An honorable mention is the BMW M635csi. Great looking car imo.
Doug is the type of guy to make a 12 car list and mention 13
Wait, isn’t the r32 first released in 1990? The r30/r31 were in the 80s
Porsche 944 Turbo S
Pontiac GT fastback was cool as well but engine problems destroyed its reputation
Sad to see no C4 ‘vette or AMG Hammer 🙁
Doug, WTF, no IROC-Z? The IROC was an 80's performance icon!
The “S” in GLHS stands for Shelby (officially).
Where Are All the czechs commenting about Praha? 🤔🤣
You left the 959 off because it was too obscure but you included a BMW Z1 and a Dodge Omni GLHS? Hey these are your favorites not mine but as a gearhead I feel obligated to defend the honor of the 959, which had so much new tech in it that it may as well have been a spaceship.
Praha! Funny, I'm just in czech republic visiting family.
look, Doug, If i cant get a classic 1989 grey plymouth horizon on carsandbids then where can i get it?
No Lotus Esprit turbo?
Mercedes Benz 560 SEC AMG. If you wanted to be the most intimidating person in your hometown you had one of these in all Black.
To understand the lore of the F40 I suggest you all to watch Davide Cironi's videos he made with the chief engineer who basically single-handedly designed and built the car, mr. Materazzi. He died late last year after being celebrated by Ferrari fans also thanks to Cironi's videos. They have english subs, so they're a true must see for everybody.
I think here in europe VW Gtis are still more popular than Lancia Deltas
560 sec for me
Im shocked he didnt even make mention of the IROC Camaro / Trans Am GTA
Toyota MR2 and FC Mazda RX-7 are definitely on top of my list for the 80s.
I still anticipate the NEW in car auction website. It's been 2 years
