4 cylinder cars?

Yep but it was fun getting those winston hats and the check.

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.

The minivan's have been hit, but they'll still go plenty under the index in at least 2 classes...

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.

Dodge: Daytona, Shadow, Omni, Lancer, Spirit w/DOHC
or a Chrysler Lebaron

Back in the '70's and '80's, Dan Rockwell in Div.1 had a very strong Pinto wagon...I think it ran either V/S or W/S?? Wheelies back then, 14 second e.t.'s. with a 4-speed??? Not sure if trans was 'stock'....rear end was,initially I think, then he changed to 9"?

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?

'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.

I would stay away from A the SRT4's run that class.
The turbo's don't care much about weight. And the 2.5 is no match for them.

I dunno - if you could get an Aries/Reliant down to min weight, I bet you'd be able to run low 13's. Of course, the SRT's have run 12.9 before.

The only other car that might give an SRT a run in A/FS would be the '86 T2 GLHS.
