Default Granpa turbo 0wnage

lol i never though chrysler would have a spirit r/t in that time, this ---- is turbo and put down 224hp with a 2,2l 16v engine!! holy shizzle!

my granpa use to have a ordinary spirit but imagine...that is almost the ultimate sleeper. I wonder how much you can crank the boost on this?

In 1989, the Dodge Spirit was introduced to provide reliable transportation in a traditionally styled four-door sedan - an expanded version of the Reliant. Suddenly, in 1991, Chrysler added a 224 horsepower (218 lb-ft) screamer of an engine, based on the old reliable 2.2 that usually produced 93 hp. This vehicle looked just like the standard grocery-getter family Spirit, except for the "R/T" after "Spirit" on the trunk lid, a little spoiler, and a decal on the fender trim. But most grocery-getters don't move from 0 to 60 faster than any other four-door sedan sold in the US in their model year.

Available only in 1991 and 1992, the Spirit R/T's 224 horsepower engine gave it a quarter-mile time of 14.5 seconds at 97 mph, and a top speed of 141 mph, making it the quickest four-door sedan in the world. The R/T had 1.67 net horsepower per cubic inch.

owned by the grocery getter.

Kinda like the Galant VR-4, drop the badges and you have a sleeper.

I have seen a few turbo lebarons out there.
