I have a bunch if hidden fetishes, and turbo FWD Mopars is one.
Wow! Please don't post any of your other fetishes!

I got a buddy with the same fix, except it extends to ANYTHING with the 'Dodge Boys' tag on it. He always stated the Omni GLH was the quickest (fastest?) car made in those years. Considering his alliances, I just blew him off. He couldn't even direct me to a web site to proove it.

Shelby took the last 500 Omni GLH turbo's and made them into the GLHS. 175hp, Koni adj shocks etc. 0-60 5.7sec,not too bad for 1987. All were serial numbered like all Shelby cars.

The GLH...or maybe the GLHS...can't remember...but I saw one in a hot rod or something and they just did a hand made air filter/tube assembly, a glass pack, and I think they raised the fuel pressure and were going deep in the 13's...I think they adjusted the turbo waste gate and was in the 12's. (Going off of my crappy memory here)
