Stats: 1985 Daytona Turbo Z |
| This is a 85 Daytona Turbo Z that i bought in 94 and just loved the
car from day one. although it's my 5 th chrysler turbo car it's my favorite
by far. It has 165 k miles on it but 9 k on rebuilt motor. Over the past
5 years it's undergone some major changes. When I got it, it would not
out run a stock Mustang GT but now it has no problem with a heavily modified
Mustang. It took allot of time and $$ as you all well know to transform
this car into a big block eater but well worth it. My boss won't run me
in his 70 chevelle SS 454 LS6, he's afraid to get the title "there's the
man who got beat by a 4 cyl "oh well maybe one day. Unfortunetly
i haven't had it to the strip yet but i know it weighs 2600 # and somewhere
in the neighbor hood of 325 to 335 hp and if it
won't rut AT LEAST 12.7 sec @ 112 mph I GIVE UP! I'll get it to the track this spring for sure. Hope you enjoy the pics, here is my list of mods, I did all the work my self except the machining.
