Ok i dunno if this is the right forum or not but anyway, there is this guy that says that buying an wrx is like buying a neon cus it has no power , plus he said that he could beat me in a race cus he said he can go round curves at 70mph. Now me on the other hand think he is stupid and i would never race him not unless on a track of course cus i want my licenese but any way why can't people jus shut up when they know they are wrong. Geeez stupidity kills me.

 

lol true true I jus kinda laughed at him when he was tellin me all this stuff and here is the thing it is a stock daytona and its not even a shelby I mean come on now he needs to take a few steps in years ahead to the present time. I jus thot it was humorus and had to post it up. lol pinto geeez

 

Domestic car owners HATES import cars, especially japanese cars. Whoever told you about his piece of **** daytona is full of **** and probably jealous of your wrx.

Well, he's right the WRX is slow as hell I get beat by stock civics daewoos and hyundais all the time plus it can't handle at all it actually says "never exceed 45mph on curves at any time" in the owners manual remember all those other cars can go much faster on turns the only good thing about the WRX is that the wagon can hold a lot more NOS I don't have the wagon but I managed to fit five bottles in my trunk I just had to put the NOS subwoofer in my rear seat but that's ok because I like to mack on one ***** at a time watch out for stupidity it will indeed kill you someday keep it real

 

I used to own a Shelby, they were pretty quick and would be a good race. But a standard daytona?! HAHA, those suck. I mean, I got tired of dealing with the dodge quality issues, but at least I had a fast car for the time being. I could never own a stock N/A daytona....they are ugly as sin and slow as hell....total chick car.

 

lol smack him like a pimp i hear ya. I would race him but he wants to do it illegal and Im not bout to get my crap jumped by no popo I love my license to much.

 

From what he said it isn't a Turbo....just a N/A 2.2L. I used to own a VNT....Personally I don't think it would take a WRX, even from a roll. And it did have lag, just a good amount less than the Turbo I and II motors. Was a fun car though. I had alot of problems getting parts from normal auto parts stores. Keep in mind the VNT was only made for the 1st 4 months of 1990 and only made alittle under 600 cars. You'd tell them what you had and they would always debate with you that a 2.2 didn't exist in 1990 and that the car was a 2.5 High torque motor. Even the fact that the 1990 2.2L turbo daytona was sitting at the curb outside the store still didn't sway the fact that the car didn't exist. And my other favoirte thing about that car was mechanics trying to prove it wasn't anything special....VNT's didn't have wastegates. But sure enough, every mechanic always tried to find the wastgate.....I think some are still looking.

they were fun on the top end. With the Getrag 586 tranny and the aerodynamics, the car would get up to 140mph in a hurry. It could go higher, but the speedo only went to 140 so god know how fast it was. Miss that car.

 

yeah, been about 5 years since I had the car, and even then I always goofed up the number order....too bad I didn't have a 555...I'd be right no matter how I said it. Had a white 90 Daytona Shelby VNT, white pumpers, Marron cloth, overhead message console, high end Infinity radio, Electric enthusiest seats. Car was mint in and out, but the motor was a pain. Ate up O2 sensors like candy, blew a cam seal, Fouled sparkplugs everytime the O2 went. And in the end threw a Rod which is when I gave up on the car and sold it. You may even recgonize my car, it was one of the more visable VNT's on the net.


As far as MP being more friendly....yeah...they were for a time. But around 1998 MP was bailing out on the 2.2 Turbos as fast as they could. I had the clearance catalog from when they dumped all their 2.2 stuff completely, sold off the last of the stock and was done with it. Now there isn't any "new" MP 2.2 stuff. The shelby Turbo's were great cheap fast cars....but they were like the bastard child of Shelby and dodge. Neither really liked them anymore. It was near impossible to get Shelby america to include us in the Shelby events, usually it required a Letter campaign to get us added. I personally think Shelby is embarassed to have been playing around with turbo Dodge Omni's and shadows. But hey, he made some great stuff, nothing wrong with that. Just not as respected as say a GT350 or cobra.
