What car should I have kept? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

White Bullet · 10-24-2008

I have owned several cars in my time and as I have gotten older I find that there has been a car or two that maybe I should have hung onto. Not necessary due to resale value but because they were fun to me. Without listing every thing I have had, here are my two choices.

1. 1991 Eagle Talon Turbo AWD - This car was blast to drive. It was an all around good performer which included a great sound from the engine because of the turbo whine. It was sweet. I really liked the looks and for the money it was an outstanding performance value

.

2. 1987 Pontiac Trans AM GTA - This was was a stunner for looks. Solid black with gold wheels. It had the 350 TPI engine and big rubber for its time. Limited horse power compared to today but plenty of low end torque which made it a very fun drive around town

.

So are there any cars you should have kept?

The 72 Pinto?

Just kidding probably the Talon between the two

Thanks for the reply. I was not very clear my questions was not which one should I have kept but did anyone else have car or two that they wished they still had. How about you GC any one you wish you had held onto?
