    the spirit r/t and the omni were very underestimated cars, the spirit in the picture was an 11 second daily driver from the milwaukee burbs.

    I had the option to buy a Spirit R/T I liked it but there was quite a bit of work that needed to be done. I still regret not buying it

    Seriously??? That is the best they could do..... And near every one they said that they liked the car to top it off! They complain about car feel but how many people bought hi-po cars with ride and comfort as a priority? Most of those companies did what they could to keep themselves from sinking and offereing something above the norm. I bet the editor wouldnt cry if someone dropped a blown 502 in his 87 Caprice

    The SHO's were way ahead of their time, as far as 4 door 5 spd. They are also very good track cars with great suspension and always a good sound system. And wtf, they test almost all engines to hold under more rpms than what they set stock.. they are *****ing at a 7300rpm redline?

    What should they have put the yamaha engines in?? Minivans?

    I used to talk to the guy YEARS ago, back before street racing was the new black. I know his ride went into a magazine around 2002ish but havn't heard from him since.

    That little car was neat, made alot of people poor.
