1989 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am
The 1980s were a great time to be in your 30s and 40s because Baby Boomers were in their prime financially. That meant there were all kinds of expensive sports cars to choose from. Not all of these sports cars were expensive exotics such as Ferrari or Lamborghini. Some of these cars were domestic offerings. Take the Turbo Trans Am, for instance, a new type of car offered by General Motors (via Barrett Jackson).
For the guys who grew up with the big V8-powered muscle cars of the 1960s, the Pontiac Trans Am Turbo was a piece of sacrilege. But the car performed better than most would have expected. The GM turbo-powered engines improved as time went on. The interesting thing about the Trans Am Turbo was that there was no Camaro version of the car, so Pontiac enthusiasts were lucky.
