I wouldn't bet on that. I owned a vehicle that had the same engine and was lighter, and it was a complete slug. Also, the tech underneath these is almost 40 years old, and was bad when new. These have no AC, so imagine driving one all day in 90F heat. I'm sure they all have a bazillion miles on them by now and are in poor repair.

Ouch, the venerable iron duke, probably pretty awful indeed. Still, if it's optimized for the low-speed stop & go stuff it'll just suck to go on highways but I'd expect it to be decent on the surface streets. That motor was a real heap though, damn the 80s were rough for GM.

  GM was in a pretty bad spot for a long time. The car I had was in the junkyard by 80k miles, and it was well taken care of. I ended up in a same year Honda that never had a single malfunction in 120k + miles.
