Is this a joke? Nothing wrong with turbo cars, but how do you lose interest in this fabulous Scamp!?

Right now I've cut down to a '90 Lebaron GTC VNT Coupe. 2.2 turbo 2 (intercooled) on 18psi with an A568 5-speed.

that would be a fun ride my friend back a time ago had a I think a 86 Daytona with a 2.2 turbo on 6psi seemed fast at that time 18psi would be hard on the flimsy transaxel my friend would need to put one in every month 5spds .

The transmissions got better as time went on for these cars. I haven't broke it yet but am worried I may rip apart the clutch when I launch it on slicks. We'll see.

Loved my turbo cars, back in the day I had a '79 280 Z with an inline 6 that we put a turbo on, a '94 RX7 with twin turbos, with my last one a 06 Evo MR......Fun times.

Nice! I've mostly just played with Shelby Chargers before this Lebaron. Grabbed it since they only built 123 VNT Coupes.

After 10k hard miles it finally had an issue, ate up a couple cheap aftermarket rocker arms.

I wasn’t going to play in the rain. I’ll be at the pumpkin run as usual this year. I’m still around, about all I can say. Thanks

Had some photos done of it last weekend.

Only real major update on the car. It’s going 4-speed. This will be my last time piecing a swap together for this thing. Starting off with a ‘68 A body trans.
