Re: No ford question.... Reply #16 – February 26, 2005, 03:07:18 AM "dude, i hate to be a dick...but..."Don;t feel bad. I have no experiance with the turbo cars specifically. It just seems we used to get a lot of those chrysler four cylinders (2.2 and 2.5) at the shop with either a blown Hg or timeing belt problems. Headgaskets much more so then comparable domestic cars of the same vintage (tempo, cavalier etc...) tipically with less miles. I didn;t mean to say that they were bad cars at all, my point was that some people uselessly write off a car (as a lemon, or money pit) because of an unexplicable sequence of small yet highly annoying repairs. Even if the parts are cheep the labour (to most regualr folks) and towing and shop fees really jack up the price or a repair. Quote Selected
Re: No ford question.... Reply #17 – February 26, 2005, 02:40:11 PM I love seeing those cars... which doesn't happen often.I once saw two Shelby Daytonas in a local junkyard back in the late-'90s. One was blue with silver stripes, while the other was silver with blue stripes. Both of them had great bodies with ground effects, so I'm assuming it was a drivetrain problem that put them in the yard. What a shame... Quote Selected

Re: No ford question.... Reply #19 – February 27, 2005, 10:55:54 PM yeah, you shouldnt laugh, because it would easily own any stock fox body, turbo coupe included Quote Selected

Re: No ford question.... Reply #21 – February 28, 2005, 12:10:01 AM the shelby daytona's wernt as fast as like the Omni and Charger GLHS, of the Shelby CSX, since they were the heavier of the K-carsmy buddy has an 88 Shelby Datona Z, we put a powerstroke intercooler in it, a 4 puck clutch in it, some suspension work, an intake on it, and a free flowing exhaust, and the car runs its ass off Quote Selected
