Those (Merkur XR4TI)hauled A$$...on the top end. A buddy had one when they were new, we did 130 mph + laid back with the AC on down I-71 out of Cle. @ about 2 in the morning...We called it &quot;The Egg&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Every once in a while I'll see an unmodified, stock 1985-90 Mustang V8. Egg-poacher wheels, twin beveled stainless tailpipes, &quot;5.0&quot; emblem on the fender. Always catches my eye.

I have a bet with my co-worker to see which one of us spots a Pacer in the wild because he had one many years ago. Neither of us has seen one since the bet - the last year or so.

We used to call Pacers terrariums. (No water.)

A guy brought out a Toyota Supra circa 1988 to our club show a few weeks ago and it had been a long time since I've seen one of those.

Here locally there is a 1989 Beretta listed for sale in our local newspaper classifieds. Also whenever I go for a walk downtown there is always a Merkur XR4TI parked in the same spot. For as many as they built I see very few 3rd gen Camaros around here anymore. I think I actually see more 2nd gens, including mine.
