1980's available in the US?  Mitsubishi Starion Turbo/ Chrysler Conquest Turbo

1988:

Starion ESI
Starion ESI-R
Conquest TSI

Drivetrain Changes: Boost increased to 10 PSI
188HP @ 5000rpm 234 lb-ft torque @ 2500rpm


10 PSI and comparable HP and torque to a 5 speed turbo coupe with the torque down low to boot.  A little porky at around 3000 pounds but if those motors can take say 16 or 17 PSI I don't think you'll notice.

oops, I thought he said "made in the US."

The thing about Starions and Conquests...well, when was the last time you actually saw one driving around? I NEVER see those things anywhere.

Why waste your time with RWD? Go for an AMX Eagle. Jeep drivetrain under a car basically.
It's Gumby's fault.

There was an article in Hemmings a while back with a 340 powered Chrystler Conquest TSI.  Going from a turbo 4 to a V8 one would assume it would be terribly unbalance, but it was actually pretty well balanced.
 
Here is a picture:

2018 Ford Explorer - 3.5L DOHC V6 (Duratec 35)

1987 Mercury Cougar LS - 5.0L V8 (Windsor) [SOLD in 2009]

it is all pipe dreams anyway. I was just thinking aloud at work, and my brain couldn't come up with RWD compacts.. I complete forgot about the pinto.. those should still be around. the gremlins are harder to find, though I did think of one.

Pacer, AMX....

The list of AMC's go's on forever for small RWD cars.

Vega
If you can find a Vega Spider that would be ideal.
