Late 80s or early 90s Calais, if I recall right. Given the the car weighed
only like 2700 or 2800 lbs, and the fact that it produced something like
180 (I think) horsepower, I'm sure it could move.
Of course, that was with (then) exotic technology on a 4 cylinder, high
compression (10:1), and you had to spin the snot out of it. I think peak
horsepower was at or just above 6000 rpm. Torque, as you might guess, was
a bit shy, but then again, it wasn't a heavy car.
I dunno, though. Would it qualify as a musclecar? What would make it
qualify, what wouldn't?
