worst american cars
 
since there is a topic about the best import, so I started one about the worst domestic. I know there arent many good ones so this should be great.

so please exclude the normal ones, please only the muscles. v8's etc

on my list for worst is ford mustangs all except for the fox body type.
second ford thunder bird

best dodge dart

I liked the 71 boss :)

Re: worst american cars
 
I would sell the Boss and buy another year. Definetly NOT one of the worst cars.
and
Don't forget about the Maverick.

Those are definately the worst mustangs ever, the 70's, except for 70 the last of the originals, and the 79 the first fox body.

I would have to put in here all of the 80's Camaros, Firebirds, and Transams, which are pretty much the same car and doomed the GM sports car for years to come.

If you can count other than v8's, the cavalier/sunbird combo I hate, let's see the Corvair, non turbo K chryslers, pretty much anything made in the 80's by the USA is bad.

#1 Couldnt decide on Pacer or Gremlin, then I thought of the Hornet and realized its the whole AMC line up for teh win.
http://www.retrocrush.com/archive200...over_small.jpg

Id rock a Pacer-X for a day though...what a sweet ride.
http://www.retrocrush.com/archive200...cerx_small.jpg

#2 Monte Carlo. Between the wheezing 165hp 305 and the subtle gay styling, its holding the #2 spot down tough.

#3 Aztec, what a total POS, and the Pacer of the future, haha

Re: worst american cars
 
out of all the ---- that i've said and took took from domestic car drivers, I have learned a lot to give them some respect, I have a friend here with a dodge dart, this car is mean, he works at a junk yard so he can get tires for free, he popped 3 sets of tires on a 10 seconds burnout I never seen that before, he made it looked so easy, I love this car. we will get to line up on the 3rd and 4th if my new clutch comes by then so I will see how I compare to him. he is also an eperienced racer I am not.

I have nothing negative to say about those, except for the cobra, its the fastest one of the group but I will still beat it

sorry Dave but you must be out of your mind. the 80's were some of my favorite body styles of cars. The 82-83 monte carlo was my favorite, but also the cutlasses were near the top... camaro and firebird were okay, I like the fox body with the flush headlights.

Man the 80's american cars are POS's ugly and slow. and for cutlasses, 80's were horrible, the late 60's were badass with the big block rocket setups now thats cool.

newer malibus and certain chevy trucks are pieces of ----. alternators go bad like crazy, and also junk ass delco batteries, but malibus chew up wheel bearings and ball joints for breakfast. like the 95 intrepids, stratus's etc suck balls, and not to mention pontiac grand ams.....did u know that the pontiac special edition grand ams werw ALL recalled after the lemon law was slapped on it because they destroyed any and all suspension components reasoning:the frames were all twisted from the factory :-X good ole GM. that was the seconf time that was ever used, the first i belivev was the pinto...didnt the [into have the dangerous gas tank that exploded when rear ended. not to mention those certain year corvettes that had 165 hp 350's in them

I think the exploding gas tanks was for the early-mid 80's ford f150's...or maybe both. I know the f-150's was something about side impacts caused the gas tanks to explode.

Re: worst american cars
 
Damn this is pretty hard. I'd have to say all 80's Dodges, 80's Chevys, 80's AMC, 80's Olds, 80's Buick. I hate pretty much all 90, 80's and 70's domestics. It'd be easier for me to name what american cars I like since that list would be quite small. I'm not a big domestic fan at all so no love here.
