Re: The Definintive GM Performance Car List Part II: 1973-1985
Awesome post!
Those cars look like a collection from a car lot in the town I grew up in (Mission, B.C.). It seemed like every second car was either a Monza, a Camaro, a Monte, or a Nova variant - with the driver invariably sporting a mullet, or being of East Indian descent. GM really did have some cool cars in seventies/early eighties, including the Vega (this was a cool-looking car). Yes, GM vehicles were not the most powerful, and they made an art form out of making a fast-looking cars with very little power. |

Great picture...how I'd like to have one. The '74 was flat-fronted, but more numerous. Thanks!!

Re: The Definintive GM Performance Car List Part II: 1973-1985
Ming, you should probably take the 1979 Nova SS off your list, since '76 was the last year for the Nova SS. The '77 Nova Rally is probably the best of late 70's Novas, and it's on the list already.
I'd also like to nominate the '78 El Camino SS with an LM1 350/4-speed. This is the new lighter weight El Camino, so with this powertrain (available this model year only for the downsized 'Camino) it was a respectable mover. Also, even though the '86-'87 Grand Nationals were faster, the '84-'85 Regal T-Type/Grand Nationals were still faster than their any other intermediate coupe available at that time that I can think of. At least the '84 should be on this list. |

I also tightened up the description of the 77 Nova Rally after reading this: http://www.novaresource.org/rpo_YF1.htm BTW, can anyone tell if the Nova in the photo is a hatchback or coupe? Last edited by Ming : 11-28-2006 at 02:28 PM. |

Re: The Definintive GM Performance Car List Part II: 1973-1985
Why does this list only go to 85? What about the Allante, and Lotus Omega/Carlton?
Good call on the 9C1 Malibu and Cosworth Vega.

BTW, I'm very pleased that you chose the Nova Rally as the photo car for the original post. The late-70's Nova was a great car. |

Re: The Definintive GM Performance Car List Part II: 1973-1985
I had forgotten about a lot of these. It's a shame you couldn't find Photos of them all. It's good to see that ones that you did have. 1970s and 1980s weren't so bad after all. Every car on the list is certainly super rare. I wonder if they'll ever be collectable.
