WRX Subarus will run a stock 1/4 in 14.2-14.5 they'll hit the 60mph in 5.5. You won't get any jappa in the 11 second 1/4 bracket for $1,000.
I choose to ignore the comment on that $1K upgrade to a Dodge Omni to make it run 11's. :bs:
The Subaru is only 280bhp or 205kw. I own 99 Subaru GTB Wagon and my Dad owns a 99 Subaru RSK both Twi-Turbos and all Subarus have AWD. He's selling his for his 32 Ford Cuope project and mines just a daily drive. Lovely car, it's completely stock except muffler to get that Boxer engine sound which is IMO the best jappa sound out, and I get good gas but it aint got anything on the Dodge.
That is not entirely correct.
My STi is 300 HP and 300 Ft Lb of Tk. with a 6 speed. Not the NZ or Ausy version.
You guys can't really believe that you can make a 70 Plymouth (or Dodge) handle like a 911 or a Subaru WRX or a Saturn. Come on, you can't live in the past forever. I drive both of them all the time. There is nothing you can bolt under your nose-heavy 440 that is going to make it handle like one of these cars.
And the STi does the 0-60 thing in as little as 4.6 sec.
Don't get me wrong, I've been working on my Cuda for 26 years. It's great. Cars have come a long way in 35 years. The "Hemi Cuda" of today isn't a big block. It may not be an import, but that is debatable.
Most of all keep an open mind. You might be missing out on a good thing. If you get a chance to drive a Mitsu Evo or a Sti give it a try, then bolt a rocket engine to your Dodge.
