A car that's fun and fast doesn't have to be unattainable. Classic muscle and sports cars from the 1980s and 1990s offer plenty of performance without breaking the bank. A new video tested some old Detroit metal, pitting a 1988 Chevrolet Corvette against a 1995 Pontiac Trans Am Comp T/A.
The 1988 Corvette packs the L98 5.7-liter V8 engine under the hood. It makes 245 horsepower. The 1995 Pontiac Trans Am also hides a 5.7-liter V8, GM's LT1. It produces 310 horsepower, but it is heavier than the older Chevy.
