I am the Stig
Would have to be the Cosworth Sierra,RS500 had good running gear but shite body,was never designed for that engine power and electrics of early models up to Sapphire was hmmmlaughable,the VH HDT Commodores as it was an awesome Australian road tourer with awesome mid range and great suspension/wheel setup to soak up bumps and yet still handle exceptonal(though not on track),and my favorite the F40 which needs no explanation
I have a hard time calling anything from the 80's classic yet...to me it's just old, needs maybe another 10-15 years before anything will be classic if indeed it does happen.
An it harm none, do as ye will
Approximately 79% of statistics are made up.
how about all the homologation specials? Ie: quattro, 323 gtx, Impulse..eh, i guess most of those came out late 80s early 90s
And Iraaaaaaaaaaaan
Iran's so far awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay...

Definitely Ferrari was the big winner in the 1980’s partially due to Miami Vice, the introduction of the 512, and the boom of Ferrari in the USA my personal fav is the 288 GTO with a fabulous 140 hp/liter.
If you are natural, you are cool and if you are cool you must be a CCK
The 288GTO is stunning but I would definately go for the Audi Sport Quattro. It doesn't really matter if you are biased about the Quattro because it really does deserve the classic car status for what it has brought along.
What about the Lotus-Carlton? The only car to have had its morality debated in the house of commons (UK). I'd say that makes it a classic, especially if it did 176mph with space for 5.
The is a BADASS car!!! It's so... Vice .
UPC's most heavy Bawls drinker. :D
Volkswagen Rabbit???
I'd consider Ferrari a definite classic of the 80's. The Rabbit? Well, maybe.
What about three times World Rally Champion, last in 1980, FIAT 131 Abarth?

Bit ihop och kom igen.
I'd like to jump in here and mention... well, look at my avatar. They are rapidly disappearing, and they are plenty special enough to be considered... well, a modern classic, so's to speak. And it doesn't have to be supercharged.
I agree, especially the supercharged and to a lesser extent the 1.6 16valve versions. But I think the 1.5 litre carb versions don't have the same appeal. A mate of mine used to have one in NZ - it had a basic Corolla engine in it. I think this was the base engine in Japan, unless there was an even smaller engine..
Most import markets on got the 16 valve or supercharged engines, but plenty of secondhand imports made it into NZ from Japan, most with the basic carb engine in them.

UCP's biggest Ford Sierra RS500 and BMW M3 E30 fan. My two favourite cars of all time.
