Beretta and Corsica are same chassis, I think. I would drive one of it had a later 3.4 swapped into it, could be quicker than people would give it credit for; and inexpensive, too.

Not my friends. he put on a turbo and was pushing 30 psi, the thing is smashed to hell, he has a exhaust tip from a quad, and he has a shifter extender that is about a inch away from the roof. It was so badass untill he blew the engine

And the most poring car is the newer corollas and camarys

Can't get much more generic than that. I know it goes against the guidelines because they Old School Nova was badass but they REALLY destroyed the legacy of that car when they did this to it. :frown:

I had one of those. It was reliable, but man, it was nothing more than a box that went places. If not for the accident, I'd never remember ever driving it.

My parents had one of these before they bought the Maxima. It was terrifyingly gutless. Less than 100hp at the crank.

Nope, Tempo's out. The Tempo was not just boring, it was a genuine pile of s***. One of the worst cars ever built.

The worst one I remember firsthand is my Dad's carburated 2.0 OHV Cavalier with 3sp auto. There was a long, uphill stretch of road by our house that we frequently had to drive up and it had the least whelming 1-2 upshift of any car I have ever ridden in. On the other hand was my 91 Z24 which was a torque monster by comparison.

I got some quality hoonage out of that turd. Never did feel underpowered because it weighed 10lbs, and I had the 5-speed manual. Yet, somehow, it was never "fun"

I'm going to assume you never drove on any hills. My grandparents live up a steep road on the wasatch mountains. The Nova always felt like it probably wasn't going to make it. Somehow it always did, but it was never a confidence-inspiring affair.

I spent my high school years in Spokane, Washington. Mountains! I suspect without the 5-speed it would have started rolling backward :rotfl

Now, my Sentra with a 3-speed auto was hopeless on inclines of any sort. A few times I didn't think it would make it with a car full of people so I turned off on side streets.

THERE's the difference. My parents' Nova was an auto.

90-91 Oldsmobile 88

It looks like a million other GM products, isn't a terrible car, isn't a great car, and is ubiquitous because of it's rebadge-ness.

Actually, there was something interesting about those P-body siblings.

The Dodge Shelby CSX.
2.2 liter turbo 4, 175 ft-lb. Some of them actually had lightweight composite wheels.

You beat me to it. I have #317. between my friends we had #400, two sequentially numbered, like #515 and #516, #200 I think. Another friend had an 88 CSX-T, (The Thrifty rent-a car) Tim O'Niel used to rally one and did well. Our transformation made it a 300hp group 5 monster, until it was destroyed on Mt. Washington.

Oh, and the "lightweight composite wheels" were on the '89 VNT. "Fiberrides" as they were known, very expensive and very brittle.

How about the 80s-90s Olds Cutlass ciera:

Or the 80s Pontiac Phoenix:

One of my old roommates used to have one. Probably the worst car I've ever driven. It handled like a boat twice its size, terrible power steering that didn't let you feel the road and to top it off, sketchy brakes.
