Grandfather of the Dodge SRT-4...Dodge Omni GLH Turbo

So here he is, the grandfather of the street drag sport compact car the Dodge SRT-4. Dodge only produced these rare cars from 1985-1986. They partnered up with famous Mopar Tuner, Carroll Shelby to make this light car properly powered by a 2.2 Liter turbo engine, used in much heavier cars like the Dodge Charger Shelby and Chrysler New Yorker. In terms of "hot rod" standards, this is exactly what was done back then, a powerful engine in a light chassis.

This engine in stock form produced 146 hp and 168 ft-lb of torque. That is some major torque for such a little car. Standard equipment was a Garrett T03 turbo and some had computer controlled waste-gates. Later versions of this motor had Mitsubishi TE04H turbos, redesgined intake manifold, and increased displacement to 2.5 Liter. Stock these cars had a 15.8 quarter mile time, so they were plenty fast, but there are some insane tuners that take these cars to the max. Lets take a look!



This motor is in a Dodge Shadow produces 498 horsepower and runs a 10.6 at 131 MPH. Pretty insanely fast actually.






Here is a Dodge Omni that runs a 11.3 at 118 MPH. Pretty fun car I would say!
