Re: 4 cylinder cars?
I'm eyeing a 1989 plymouth voyager 2.5 turbo on craigslist.
Is that a good pick or has it been hit too hard? It's rated at 175 from 150. |

Re: 4 cylinder cars?
The minivan's have been hit, but they'll still go plenty under the index in at least 2 classes...

Re: 4 cylinder cars?
It looks like minivan might be gone...
So can yo experts out there tell me what various models the turbos came in? The omnis and any of the other shelby branded models are nearly impossible to find and going up in value, so i would like to find a dodge branded turbo car. |

Re: 4 cylinder cars?
Thanks for the info!
Ok one last question..... I thought that i'd seen someone race an Eagle Talon AWD Turbo in stock. But I do not see Eagle listed in the classification guide. Is it not a legal combo for Stock? |

Re: 4 cylinder cars?
1988 -1990+ Quad 4 Oldsmobile Calais was a great car to run. We ran both automatics and sticks. The engine was very reliable, and has a lot more potential than we ran it at. Qualified #1 at eleven NHRA National events in 1989 ! Consistent Class winner .

'89 Dodge Aries 2-door with a 2.5 Turbo engine might be a contender for A/FS. Light body, same engine/trans as the Minvans, Daytonas, etc.

The turbo's don't care much about weight. And the 2.5 is no match for them.
