Yea, but the Turbo vanished from America for a few years, and reappeared in 1986. The 86 was way faster than the earlier ones. Like every generation of new Turbo.

And I was mentioning the 80s and a car with 200 HP was the fasted car sold new in the USA.

The 1985 Corvette was a 350 rated at just 230 HP, but it weighed 3,216 lb. https://corvettestory.com/specs/1985-Corvette-specs-options.php

It was a slug.
