Shelby Dodges: More Turbo Emblems!

They probably should've turbo'd everything. I still remember the C&D test of the Sundance America model. They said it would just do the ton, but with enough high-speed thrum to knock out your eardrums.

My vote is for a Plymouth Scamp retrofitted with the full CSX treatment

@danio3834: Once they got them some intercoolers, that is. Too bad they didn't make a Shelby New Yorker, my mom went through too many piston rings with the "hot" turbo setup.

All these cars were pretty good performance for their day. Most under rated probably the Shelby Lancer

We need another mainstream manufacturer to turbo damn well near everything they make (hell, that'd justify Pontiac's existence).

Lest we also forget the 1989 Top Speed test where the 1989 Shelby CSX-VNT pulled 156mph. Not bad for a 175hp SOHC turbocharged and intercooled 4-cylinder.

Here's are a few more interesting articles:

I own one of the '87s. It was actually a Shelby, not a badge engineered one like these. Road and Track did a comparison back in the day, and the CSX won.
