Is that MB AWD or FWD? Thats really not so heavy for a new car. The hot Renault Sport RS265 is also 3000 pounds - 265hp, a very trick front diff, current holder of the FWD Nurburgring record.

AWD - no way you could put that power on the front wheels only without major steering problems.

Don't forget Dodges and Shelbys' mid 80's urban terrorizer.

My 1986 Dodge Omni GLH Turbo

.
Yes, I have to remind myself that the newer small Hi-Perf cars have much more wt. due to more hardware to handle the extreme HP.
My two Renault R5 T-2s were 2,100 lbs. with little 1.3L pushrod, charged, industrial engines. Not a lot of beef needed to handle 210 HP.
Also, unlike the new cars, the spartan interior of the R5s was not luxurious, by any means.

I'm a fool for small, yet strong, cars.

Who would think? :eek:

Looking alot like a Peugeot 205 T16. It just looks like fun, eh?

I sold my 2nd Ren. R5 T2 (the black one) to a liver transplant Dr. in SoCal who owned one of these - along with a couple of Ferrari's in his stable of rare cars.
A yr. later he called w/Qs about the Renault - said that he had not driven any other car since buying the Peugeot & my Ren. :D

This car always caught my eye. Nice - especially in black.

Say more about this car, please.

The late Caroll Shelbys had great influence in the production of the Dodge Omni GLH Turbo and other fwd chrysler. Stock form they were 146 hp 2.2L turbocharged. Shelby took 500 of the last 1986 turbo models, modified them to produce 175 intercooled hp and added beefier suspension(adjustable Koni's) all in black and badged them as GLHS. The one pictured has been highly modified and the goal is 350-425 hp. The weigh in is around 2400 pds.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1361225764.jpg

GLH = Goes Like He77. :)

Exactly...it was almost named Wolf..to compete with the VW rabbit...or more or less eat it.

Thanks for the info.
That one slipped through the cracks for me.

Tall narrow tires are sloppy on the street, but for unpredictable roads they soak up the bumps.
Not mine, but this little model spanked 4-5 cars on the night twisties through the mountains of highway 1.
It would carry a 25gal compressor, small tool chest, and probable a couch as well.
Everything else on top or on a trailer.

My friend driving was ok, his navigator wasn't feeling too good though. Both the guys in the upside down car were ok.

I'm tempted to try dealing on this one...

I have been shopping craigslist and autotrader for a good ole shelby charger for the fleet. Hard to find one that was not beat to He77 and back or hasn't been owner modified. Some of the prices though are outrageous for the condition of the vehicle.:eek:

I had that exact colour combo on my Shelby Charger back in 94. Not near as nice as yours though. It was replaced by a black TurboZ Daytona...another fun hatchback!
