absolutely. ive seen lots of old turbo Dodges and DSMs (Eagle Talon/Mitsubishi Eclipse) haul some ass. as a matter of fact....80s turbo Dodges and DSMs are relatively cheap to get into the 12's...but anything faster than that will cost you some loot. my brother used to have a 1991 Dodge Spirit R/T which ran 13.80 in almost stock trim. the only thing he did to it was a cold-air setup and some exhaust work. a Spirit R/T is a sleeper, granny 4 door sedan thats FWD with a 2.2L Turbo motor. as a matter of fact, it was the first DOHC car built by Chrysler....but the cylinder head was made by Lotus. theyre alot of fun...have a bench seat, 5 speed tranny, and no boost gauge. instant granny
. in stock trim they ran 14.0 to 14.5 depending on how you drove it. that was a rocket for 1991, not many stock sports cars could touch it...save for the GMC Syclone/Typhoon and some other ones. but general mainstream sports cars like F-Bodies and Fox Bodys had a hard time with that car. also...do some research on the Dodge Omni GLH...or Iacoccas revenge. GLH was a little car, but the GLH stood for "Goes Like Hell"
. FWD turbo Dodge 4 bangers are cheap fun....you can find many turbo Daytonas, Omnis, Shadows, Spirits, Acclaims, and Chargers for under $1000. there was one guy in my neck of the woods that had a Plymouth Reliant wagon with a stroked 2.2L that was in the 10sec ETs....last i seen it, it was up for sale. i think hes got a website dedictaed to it. then theres also the 11sec Dodge Caravan too
....but thats a whole different story.
