14. 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442
Known for its muscular soundtracks, the 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442’s true capabilities were watered down by the time it arrived, failing to translate audio excitement into dynamic thrills. The 403 cubic-inch V8 engine, rated at 185 horsepower, was mated to a three-speed automatic transmission, resulting in a 0-60 mph time of approximately 10 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 17.3 seconds at 79.3 mph. These figures were a significant decline from the 1970 442’s performance, which boasted a 0-60 mph time of 6.5 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 14.8 seconds at 97 mph. (hemmings.com)
