1980-81 Mercury Capri Turbo RS
Originally in the Ford Europe lineup, the Mercury Capri was later brought across the pond. After that, it was sold together with the other Ford muscle cars. It was on the market for more than thirty years and had been renamed a couple of times. One of the worst things about it was that it was an unreliable car that broke down often. The price went down thanks to its bad rep, which helped sales go up in Europe.

1980 Chevrolet Corvette California 305
As the 1980 Corvette California was being developed, the high federal emission requirements got in its way. The regulations called for it to have a smaller engine, which meant that Chevy could no longer push through with its plans to give it a bigger engine. The V8 engine might have been new, but it could only put out 180 hp. It was a good thing that it found a new way to increase the power the year after that.
