Anybody Have a Soft Spot for TURBO Cars?
Ive had more Omnis and Shelby chargers than I can remember. I had one point where I would just buy one if it came up for sale because they were usually 500-1000 back when or cheaper.
I dailied a Shelby charger in the late 90s-early 00s for probably 4-5 years. Had a T2 swap and a a555, black with stripe delete and ugly as sin. Every time I turned around someone would run into it seemed like, just dents on every panel. I strapped some slicks on it at one point and cut some decent (fwd) 1.6 60 foots at the strip, I think dipping into the 13s (mostly stock motor, just T2 swap)
I got like 40k miles out of a $500 rusty Silver T1 85 GLH at one point and had lots of good memories racing it. That thing would make people so angry when I won because it looked pretty bad with the silver / rust contrast haha. The kid I sold it to blew it up literally in like 5 miles of owning it.
By far my favorite was the 86 GLHS I had. So many good memories surprising people with that thing. So cheap to make fast and fun. Here it is, sometime in early 00s:
After that I got hooked on these:
