I would rock that car in a second. one of my friends had a galant VR4 that ran 12s it supprised the ---- out of a lot of people.

I believe those engines are strong. I saw a guy one night come out to the local cruising spot with one of those late 80's woodgrain paneld minivan that had that lebaron motor in it running some pretty high boost. He roasted some early 90's toyota supra's ass.

Yeah. I've heard of those turbo'd caravans being able to run 12's with some simple ----. it's ------- crazy.

My grandma used to have a 87 dodge lancer turbo...slow as balls stock lol. Then my friend gave me a beat up 90 turbo duster...still slow as balls, but alotta fun when use a home-made MBC and crank those things up to 16psi ;D 0-35mph=owned by a tricycle...after ya get spooled up, hold on until your headgasket blows ;D

That 2.2 motor can handle a ton of boost stock. And with the 16 valve head designed by Lotus, it solved the breathing issues associated with the Chrysler 8 valve heads that severely limited what you could do with them.
14.5 sec stock. That is not slow.

The timing belts on those cars were an issue. Valve train too stiff and eats up timing belts rather fast.
