Mopar really missed the mark by not putting out a RWD 318 and 360 powered coupe back then. Most here know how bad it was back then being a mopar guy. Iroc Z's and 5.0's
Well, they DID sell an awful lot of them as FWD "Sports" cars. Back then, "Technology" and "Front wheel drive" were huge buzz words and made the Mustang and Camaro look like horse & buggy in comparison.
Mustang and Camaro were still running carburetors whilst the Daytona/Laser had Turbochargers and Throttle Body injection, and then later Multi Port Injection.
