  1987 daytona shelby z - 1990 Dodge Daytona
  By turbododge2 - February 22 - 7:13 pm

  My 1987 shelby z is 24 years old. i bought it brand new in sept. 87. it has 76.000 hard driven miles on it and has never let me down. by hard i mean i raced it at englishtown nj for four years and alot of racing in north jersey. and the drive train is all original except the clutch. this car is way fun to drive and VERY FAST with a few simple mods. the 2.2 intercooled turbo is a great bullitt proof motor and way underrated by ford and gm guys. if you are lucky enough to find an 87 in decent shape buy it! the 87 motor has the 2 piece intake manifold. the 88 and up have the one piece cast manifold.

  20 years old and still starts right up - 1990 Dodge Daytona
  By George - May 11 - 10:04 am

  A 5-start safety rating - without airbags! When younger, my Daytona was scary-fast, stock. Unstoppable in snow, and still starts right up, whether its -40 or +40 (Celsius). Needed some repairs over the years, but what a trooper this car is. As for handling, this car goes wherever you point it - its amazing how this car takes corners: with NO body roll, this car saves you when you take corners too fast. Together with the turbo (which has never died on me), this cars performance and handling make it capable of handling almost ANYTHING. Im sorry mines getting old - they dont make parts for it anymore, and even the junk yards dont have them. My first car, and best car I ever drove.

  2.5 Turbo built drag car - 1991 Dodge Daytona
  By Moparguy - April 9 - 12:22 pm

  I built up this car for drag racing, installed Mopar injectors, high flow fuel pump, hybrid turbo, OBX limited slip diff, etc etc. Chrysler built these cars STRONG from the factory, they can take tons of abuse. I have had little to no issues with the car at all. The seats are comfy and hold you in your seat around turns, and are power adjustable. The 5 speed manual gearbox is the only way to go in my opinion, and the car has taken many clutch-dump launches with ease.

  Best car in the world - 1991 Dodge Daytona
  By Mojtaba - March 2 - 12:07 pm

  I own this beauty for almost 7 months and I would say I had some small issues, but she didnt let me down at all. Mine is not a Shelby but C/S edition which has all of the Shelby package in it and runs light rocket. This is my favorite car of all time and with cheap upgrades you can make these run 11-12 in 1/4 mile. The only thing is because i got the Shelbys Maximum Performance package, my suspensions are so stiff that the car doesnt like bumps at all.

  The Flame - 1991 Dodge Daytona
  By deaconwise1 - September 18 - 8:17 am

  Great car to drive. I have a five speed with a V6. It still competes with the best of them. This has over 250,000 miles on it and it still gives any car in its class or higher a good run. People still ask me whats under the hood. I say just change the oil every 3000 miles and tune it up with some plugs every 5000 miles. The car is great on gas. The best part, I brought this car for $300.00 sitting in someones backyard with weeds growing around it and wasp nest in the door jambs. I was told it hasnt run for years. "One day it stop running." So I hook up some cables to the battery. It turns, but didnt start. No spark. I change the coil, turn the key...Voom! on the first crank. What a car!

  I just got a 91 daytona and it is a nice little car to own. The gas mileage is excellent and is powerful for a 4 cylinder. Have 142,900 miles on it and still running good.

  Awesome car - 1990 Dodge Daytona
  By Eric - February 1 - 10:31 pm

  Greatest car I have ever driven. I bought it with a minor idle problem and thats all, I had to clean out a "vent" in the oil pan. Very reliable. There are a lot of people who have gotten 200,000+ miles out of the V6 :). It spent two weeks parked outside during a -20 weather spell and turned over once or twice before it started. It also handles beautifully and accellerates quite well. You may have a bit of trouble finding body kits, engine mods, etc., but they are out there. The interior is great too, as long as you dont look at the rear seats. The front seats have plenty of leg room as long as you dont have anyone sitting in the rear. They really could have just taken the rear seats out..

  Turbo Shelbys Live Forever! - 1990 Dodge Daytona
  By Ernest Laird - August 25 - 2:00 am

  Mine is actualy an 87 Shelby Z, but similar enough to the 90. I found the car with on ly 71k pampered miles on it, garage kept, in near perfect condition. I conduct all the regular service and repairs on it myself, except alignments, This is my thrid Dodge/Plymouth of this type, early 90s FWD, and all of them have been an incredible joy to drive, given me verry verry few problems, and the few they gave I was able to fix myself easily and at minimal cost. These cars are incredibly fun to drive every day and have a devoted following of verry inteligent and helpful owners. I hope to drive a car like this for the rest of my life, fun, fast and beautiful.
