Top 10 Slowest American Cars of the 1980s

In this week’s episode, I count down the top ten slowest American cars of the 1980s. There were many outside factors that played a role in influencing the automotive industry during this time (1978-84’ especially). Automakers were focusing on fuel efficiency over anything and as a result, these cars lacked power. I’m talking over 20 seconds to reach 60 for most vehicles on this list. In 2024, the slowest car for sale is the Mitsubishi Mirage coming in at over 12 seconds. During the early ‘80s, 12 seconds to reach 60 was considered decent. As the 80s progressed, the use of turbos and fewer regulations turned the automotive industry around. Before that though, the domestic market suffered a serious drought in performance. Thank you all for tuning in, I really appreciate the support!
