Even 60's and 70's weren't all that. The technology wasn't there. Getting over 100 horses out of a 1.5 liter would have been some serious rocket science back in the day.

You weren't paying enough attention. All the Japanese sports cars were pretty awesome. Supras and Z's and Rx7's. Not only had power but could actually also handle.

Even today the Buick Grand National is still one sweet ride and pulls huge numbers on Barrett-Jackson.

There were so few of them built. And then of course the GNX was even harder to find. Sexy as hell cars.
