I don't think I've heard of a Dodge Omni. Looks ugly but 175hp! Sounds fun.
The RX 7 brings back memories (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Man were they fun. |

I inherited a GLHS with a blown gear box. my friend told me it was so fast blah, blah, blah....3 years it sat in teh side yard till I fixed the trans. I drove it for a week to run errands. it was a stiff sprung, riced out looking lunch box on wheels, right? since it was an OMNI, I drove it like grandma would till one day I was trying to get around a truck. I floored it and nothing happened
...but once it passed 3500 rpm HOLY COW!!! the turbo spooled up and that ugly bugger launched like a rubber band. it surprised me, scared the crap out of me. if you kept it above 3500, the power was light switch instant. my friend gave me a ton of info on the car that I never read till the passing incident. he had installed powr adders and claimed it to be over 200hp. the trans was geared short from Dodge. I did not know they only made 500. 3 years later I blew teh head gskt and threw the car away. it was an Illinois car. back then CA DMV charged a $500 environmental impact fee to reg non CA cars. the same year I threw it away, that law was over turned and the fees were returned to those who had paid it it made a faint whistle right before the jump to light speed and teh torque steer made me feel like I was Mario Andretti |
