    1986 Dodge Omni GLH



    Big news for the 85 model year was the same turbomotor seen in the Shelby Charger. Note that it was optional in the GLH; the high-output carburated engine (along with its lower-geared transmission) remained standard equipment. The turbocharged engine produced the same 146 hp as in the Shelby Charger, and was backed by the same taller-geared (3.56:1) 5-speed transmission. The new 5-lug aluminum "pizza" wheels (Seen on the car below) were installed, also like on the 85 Shelby Charger, but an important distinction is that the GLH still wore 195/50s, even with the turbo engine. When so equipped, the turbocharged engine pushed the GLH from 0-60 in 7.5 seconds and through the quarter in 15.8 seconds at 87 mph; top speed was up to 119 mph. Also new that year were black side skirts and a black airdam; they were part of the GLH Performance package.

    Later, QD.

    Sorry. I didn't read the initial post right. This is just a promo for the car. Later, QD.

    Couldn't you bump up to the GLHS for roughly the same price?

    I actually saw one the other day on Roswell Rd.
