  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.

  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.

  Dont Believe Consumer Reports! - 1990 Dodge Daytona
  By regar - February 24 - 2:00 am

  I ordered this car new from the dealer with every option available. The most reliable car I have ever owned. I have the 5-speed so there have been no transmission problems. I ordered it with the V6 so there was no turbo to burn out. The engine performs well and shows no sign of quitting. Excellent "snow car" for our Northeastern winters. Forget "initial quality" assesments this car was made to last.

  The Beastlyest Beast Around - 1990 Dodge Daytona
  By b0b - October 27 - 1:00 am

  This car is beast. It romps on everyone around. A new intake and throttle body help out the high end. The computer limits the top speed to 130MPH though, but hey 130 is scary enough. Wish i had a 5 speed, but the 3 sp. auto get the job done nicely.

  1990 Daytona ES Turbo - 1990 Dodge Daytona
  By Brian21 - August 12 - 2:00 am

  This is a 1990 ES Turbo. It has the 2.5L 4 cyl Turbo with the 5 speed manual. This really kicks it. 7 second 0-60. I havent had the time yet to see what it can really do though. I just got it home. Its in good shape for the year, interior is Excellent, but the paint peeled and rust formed (which I will fix). Nothing rusted through. And I paid only $750 for this car! with only 92,000 Miles on it! This was a great deal and I couldnt pass it up. I love to drive it, its fast and fun. It has the infinity Sound system in it, that rocks too. This will be the best car that I have ever owned.
