"The real looker, and performer, is the DOHC 2.2 Turbocharged and Intercooled powerplant. Packing 200 bhp @ 5500 rpm and 220 lb/ft @ 3400 rpm with a compression ratio of 7.3:1, it motivated the TC surprisingly well: while Chrysler claimed 8 seconds to 60mph, Road & Track was able to get one to perform the same feat in only 6.9 secs with a quarter mile time of 15.4 secs at 92.5mph. Top speed was 135mph. Handling shows some limitations with only 0.79g. This engine has proven quite durable but its rarity keeps prices quite high for parts."
