# This year brought new body styling; the front end got pop-up headlights, making it look more like its 1969 namesake. A new rear spoiler was optional, the taillights became wrap arounds, and other options were also added. The interior was changed slightly for a more modern look and feel. # The sportier looking Shelby Z edition was offered also, with the turbocharger intercooled for 174 hp (the Turbo II). A deep chin spoiler and 225/50-15 tires outwardly identifies this model. Top speed was somewhere around the 130s and 0-60 was a quite good 7.2-8.0 sec. This was the performance Daytona of the 80s. * To handle the power, the Turbo II had a stronger bottom end with a cross-drilled block, forged crankshaft, the larger 1984-85 turbo rods, stronger bearing caps and full-floating pins, and Mahle cast pistons. heres mine: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...g/DSCN0072.jpg way too much done to list :lol: |
Oh, ok. Were you on CF? There was a guy on there who was into those cars. Any shots of the inside?

no i wasnt. and yes i do
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...g/DSCN0079.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...g/DSCN0078.jpg these arent entirely current. theres a nitrous bottle behind the pass seat now. kinda debating pulling it out and stuffing it in a cheap pos :lol: |
Nice Daytona....those were pretty cool back in the day and nice to see one still kicking around.
How's the up-keep on it now that it's 20+ years old? |
its not bad at all. The 2.2/2.5s were basically cut down slant sixes with an aluminun sohc head. Dead simple to work on and parts are so cheap in comparison to other cars that they are damned near free. That said ive got a caravan 2.4 in my garage that im planning to build up to srt4+ specs and drop in there. couple of guys on the turbo mopar boards have done it with great results

I love those cars...way better looking than a Miata and more fun to drive! |
Did you ever own one? I had one in college and it's not exactly high on the fun-to-drive scale. It really ended up being a bit of a POS honestly. No offense to the modded one here.
