Today's muscle car comes from the "pretender series". The Heavy Chevy could be ordered with most Go Fast goodies but it was a stripe/appearence package.

I know it came with the domed hood, I doubt the cowl induction is stock.

I believe this may have been the quickest American car made in the 1980s. I believe these were even quicker than the Corvette.

 

The 1987 Buick GNX

You're absolutely correct the GNX killed everything on this side of Atlantic and most stuff on the other side costing much-much more.

Buick rated them at 245 hp. Considering that they did 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, I'd say they were underrated by at least 100 hp!!!!
