Funny you say that about your 78 trans am. I thought my brother's car was the fastest thing when I was 18. And it handled like sticky glue. Maybe that is what really changed was for the first time, the cars started to handle way better, got a little flashier (velour interior was the sh-t back then), while getting slower. So thus, people were happy in the end with these other improvements distracting them. Maybe the early 80s were actually a - ok. Slow cars, but the other stuff made up for it.

Thank god, the 80s did come, to fix the 78 mustang nightmare body design. Ford will always have a hard time covering up that tattoo.
