Define a good car.

My uncle had a fleet of 5 of those buicks (or a similar model) for his family to use as they wished. To him, those were good cars.

He also put 450,000 miles on a Chevy astro, I'm sure he thought that was a good vehicle too.

Out of the cars I've had, there are a few that could be classed as good, but for different reasons.
I have a 90s Trans am that is a good car (good engine/chassis to build on, decent interior).
I had a 90s Olds aurora that was a good car (nice interior compared to the average 90s car, 4.0 fwd v8 wasn't the greatest, but did have some kind of racing pedigree)
I had a 96 gmc Sierra that got good gas mileage, was good to haul stuff in (longbed), and had good pickup for a 305, some would call that a good car (or truck).

It just depends on what you're looking for in a vehicle.

it was meant to be a torquey motor for trucks. its potential still stands but it fufilled its purpose well. any high strung low displacement motor making that much will

1) not last
2)be unreliable as fuck
3) need close gearing to be useful

now THATS laughable
>>
>>15609218
Solid truck platform. Hilariously stealthy at the time when it first appeared. Great engine and like a previous poster said made a laughing stock out of the 454SS and some surprised fox and F-bodies.
>>
>>15609218
Pretty much everything considering the levels of performance of other full size trucks?

>A blast down a deserted, curvaceous road reveals the Lightning’s handling prowess, which contradicts its 4313 pounds and formidable size. Monroe Formula GP gas-pressurized shocks and a 1.0-inch diameter anti-roll bar working with a 4×4-spec Pitman arm and unique radius arm up front, and leaf springs with a single half leaf in the rear, provide a road-hugging ride when matched with the low center of gravity and large tire contact patches. The sport-coupe handling, surprising in such a large vehicle, has the driver searching for open roads where the Lightning really can be pushed. Our survey respondents flagged handling as the most liked attribute of the truck, with overall performance grabbing a close second.

This is literally the most retarded vehicle ever to exist. If you want sportiness, you buy a car that is sporty. If you want a truck, you buy a truck. If you want sportiness and a truck, you buy a sporty car and a truck or accept that one is intrinsically opposed to the other.

It's all well and good saying it's great 'for a truck' but lets face it, a marksman with parkinsons might be a great marksman for someone with parkinsons, but they're still a shitty marksman.

OK its was a drag strip racer. No one road coursed a Lighting. The engine had GT40 heads and a much more aggressive cam the the regular 5.8. With 4.10 gears in the rear it took off pretty quick at the start. It was a solid platform to start with. It could also haul a little of lumber too. As far as retarded comment that's your opinion and I will respect that even if I think it is wrong.

I've never driven a 90's american car, but here are my yuropoor 2 eurocents

90's american cars that aren't downsize fails like late 90's gm rebadge job shit or blob tauruses don't seem extremely crap, you get big torquey engines, granted with few horsepower and high consumption, but damn it,a gallon is almost free in America

They were also pretty well equipped, I think something like a Park Avenue or a Regal would have done the same job a more expensive smaller Merc would have done

American cars got more shitty in the 2000's because all the luxury stuff was phased out and smaller cars were generally the same as 90's cars

Chrysler(and all American car companies) owned a European brand at some point and dumped them after siphoning tech. Chrysler couldn't come up with a decent engine and Italian brands like Lamborghini were struggling to survive thus had to bend over and take it. You claim engine is good, geez wonder why? Again Italian engineers. Not Chrysler engineers.

That's not a decent car of the 90's. That's a decent drivetrain wrapped in absolute shit. Sure the engine and drivetrain were decent but everything else completely sucked balls.

The comfort is godlike. Ugh. So cushy

I'm sadly thinking of getting rid of it, though. For a much newer car. I've had 0 issues with it except that its shut off on me about 5 times in the past 5 months. I think its the remote starter installed

But yeah, super comfy. Big. Can easily fit 5 of my big pals in there and they'd all be comfy.
