For me, the 80's > Late 90's.
The Era of the Ford Escort RS Turbo, Sierra Cosworths, the first BMW M3 & M5, The Audi Quattro , Porsche 959, Ferrari F40... I could go on and on.
The 80's & 90's were wonderous years for petrolheads, I cannot envisage Ford creating a mordern day Cosworth, Ferrari beating performance for relative peanuts to buy, the days of "Homologation Specials" Such as the Sierra Cosworth , M3 & Audi Sport Quattro's are ,sadly, long behind us.
Also, the era when things such as ABS brakes, Airbags & traction control started to become commonplace on cars, along with proper "crumple zones" being designed into cars the safety increases were staggering in this era. these improvements have saved many a life!
