When I was a kid there would always be a movie that played on Saturday afternoons on Channel 5 KTLA, it was a story of a guy that gets killed by some car-fanatic bullies, and he returns as a ghost in an awesome car to seek vengence. It was great, it was everything I ever wanted in a movie. A hot girl, an awesome car, and lots of action. I was in love. Years down the road I was flipping through my older cousin's car book admiring all the cool cars of the 80's which included the 959 Porsche and Ferrari Daytona. Upon flipping through the book I found my favorite movie car, the Dodge M4S Turbo Interceptor. I was in disbelief, I thought the car in the movie was fake, and was just a model that they created to carve the canyon, and make all the bad guys go off the cliff. And so I present to you the dual turbocharged Dodge PPG M4S Turbo pacecar.
This car was a DOHC 2.2L motor with dual turbochargers, that produced 440 Horsepower, and had a top speed of 195 MPH. This car did a 0-60MPH in 4.1 seconds, and 12.9s quarter mile. The motor used dual T-25 Garrett turbo which were fed into the "top of the line" Bosch L-Jetronic fuel management system. This car was contracted to Dodge by PPG and they spent nearly $1.5 Million Dollars for 6 cars, now only four cars exist 2 belonging to PPG still.
