That intro had Me puckering for ya.. 😲

It's a tin can where you are the crumple zone. Delightfully suicidal. That 8 valve always had a lot of character too

Just because it's a bad idea doesn't mean it's not a fun idea :)

just imagine if you got a hold of a GLHS, even nuttier than the GLH

Finally a mainstream channel doing some turbo dodges!!! Get on the train and look for some Shelby Dodges now!

Right*

To the passenger side wheel.. that's why it goes on the opposite side (left)

😂😂

You're all wrong. It's 470 at the steering wheel.

Do the math, it's the passenger side wheel!

All thanks to Carroll Shelby!

GLH-S..."Goes Like Hell-Some more" no joke, that's the meaning behind it

Only problem with the GLHS was the fact there was only 500 made good luck finding one ;)

olikat8 no, its goes like hell “Shelby”

Goes like Hell S'more ;) look up the history olikat8 is right. One thing I never regretted was not buying the shelby dakota when I had the chance sense dodge did it better a year later.

Couldn't have said it better 😁

naw its good for your car or truck to scare you once and awhile had a shelby rampage tweeked..928..931..dakota prepped

Basically the exact reason why I did so much coke in my youth...

Goes like hell aka goes left horribly or that's what we said when I got my license.. my first car was a 71 dodge dart custom deluxe that I was gonna restore and make beautiful so I bought an Omni glh for a winter car for 800 bucks ... The dart never got finished.... 318 4 barrel holly,headers and straight pipe exhaust and 4 10s in the back... The Omni walked all over it after we made a few tweaks to the fuel system and the waste gate

Hey cmilk, nice to see you here

I had a 10 year old automatic na omni as my first car. Kinda miss it

Wow @laowhy86

I had an 86 Omni GLH back when I was a senior in high school. It was flat black with the body kit and the pizza rims.. It had an upgraded exhaust, air intake and larger turbo. It was one mean machine, and was so fast, my girlfriend was afraid to ride in it. Lol. By far the funnest car I've ever owned. And if I could afford another one that was in decent shape and ran well, I'd buy it in a heartbeat! Miss that little car!

What are the odds I'd watch one of your videos and then randomly find you in the comment section of an entirely unrelated video. ha

Was his name Travis?

Damn, that car must be brutal

Lets get this guy some likes

@@victorpla29 thanks haha. Here is my old Car Domain page lol www.cardomain.com/ride/350208/1992-hyundai-sonata/ She's been 4g63t swapped and boosted since December of 1999.

@@kajwis2675 yeah it was , she's been in storage for last 8 years and she's got some pretty big issues to work out but if my work/business plans pan out as much as I'm hoping then the " blue bomber" will ride again.

@@Boosted00 then good luck restoring it:)

vector6977 it.was.terrifying.

Could you not fix this?

@@markeldamgaard with crazy mods, yes. This was just how early front wheel drive cars were.

This vehicle and K cars of the era are equipped with equal length cv shafts via a long and stiff intermediate shaft coming from the differential

LSD needed big time !

😂😂😂

Same in GT Sport 😂

Cringe

right ? Bahaha

Luke Philipose samee! Love seeing different platforms and not the typical build

This was part of the Chrysler Corporation's magic: prior to the Viper, they never had a halo performance vehicle. This allowed their amazing engineers to do crazy things like stuff their biggest power engine into their cheapest $#!+box and give it suspension mods to match - or, back in the 60s, create a compact sedan with an engine that killed an entire racing series (see NASCAR Compact Car Series.) It's part of the magic when the GLH series L-bodies - the hottest hatches of the 1980s - gave way to the amazing Neon SRT/ACR vehicles, which are still to be feared when they show up on race day. If you can find a top condition L-body Omni, please go for it; among small cars, they were the big boys, and could seat 4 adults in comfort, while proving a level of chassis stiffness and subsequent performance the K-platform simply could not match. Even today, despite the New Hemi's endemic flaws, it tickles me to see such awesome silliness as the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk alongside the Hellcat Challengers and Chargers. Chrysler's unofficial slogan really should be "Big Power For Everybody."

What's stopping you? 😉

i know someone that can sell you one

Quite honestly, thee single reason why this video even came my way was because I had one of those random childhood memories pop up in my head, and it was of the Dodge Omni that my parents had (for a short time) growing up... it was quickly a staple in my childhood...and now here I am. Now I want to buy one, and restore it to MY specs... LOL

My uncle had the daytona turbo z and would beat 240zs and other cars you would expect to win.

I had an 84 Daytona turbo Z! Fun car

Well, was it??? Lol

@@nashanthename1886 Considering the fox was over 3k lbs and had less then 200 hp in the early 80s, it wouldn't surprise me.

@@nashanthename1886 Hard to say. I raced one with my 82 GT and beat it but my stang was bored, balanced and cammed.

Lmao!!

Yeeesh 0_o

🤣

lmao

Your comment made me sad

Your Dad said that too

Lol

Besides the Fiero.

It killed me when David said they made the GLH because "no one wanted" the Omni. They sold a TON of the Omnis. They were everywhere. That GLH-S you have is rare. Friend of mine from high school used to drive his parents Shelby Charger. They still have it.

I hope he does have your car in the channel to properly represent these awesome cars.

I'm fairly certain your cars also dont make over 450whp. You are aware that James Reeves and Mike Marra are running un-equal length axles as well? If theres an equal length setup I can put on the car that WONT sheer the intermediate shaft, then I'd put it on.

His cars will likely not try to kill him every time he gets behind the wheel, either.

BoostedDrummer well we’re close to finishing up a 550hp 2.5 build and we will see how it does. What LSD are you using?

I believe the GLH (carbureted) had 110 hp, the GLH-T (fuel inj. Turbo 1) had 146 hp, and the GLHS (fuel inj. Turbo 1 w/Intercooler) had 174 hp. Dodges Turbo II had the 175 hp. Love the test...I've got a 85 GLH converted to a Turbo II with 87 Shelby Z transplant...mines pretty spicy with a little over 200 hp. I'm not looking for 470 HP, but would like to settle on 320-350 hp. The Turbo II in my 87 Daytona Shelby Z...is closer to 300 HP, but needs me to get it back to road worthy and some fine tuning. I've also got an 87 Shelby Charger...which I think I'm going to transplant a SRT4 engine in. SDAC is a great club dedicated to these beauties, been a member for 20+ years!! Just wish FCA built that SRT4, GTS, or GLH (a proper one) Dart that was promised. I had to settle for a GT and go from there. @ThatDudeinBlue, Thanks for the review, also like the E36 M3 with the ActiveAutowerke supercharger. Looking forward to getting mine (98 E36 M3 Dinan) AA supercharged someday. That thing with 400 HP will be a beast. Still not quicker than the GLH or Shelby Z!

Turbo 1 were 146hp,Turbo 2 was 175hp and Turbo 3 were 200hp. There was also The VNTs that were thrown on the Turbo 2s that gave them insane no lag 180hp.

GLHS= Goes Like Hell Some-more

This thing definitely had to be impressive in its day

@@ronaldschawo8971 The VNT cars were also 2.5l cars. I had a 1990 Daytona VNT. I was at full boost by 2800ish rpm. One of the funnest cars i owned. Had a CSX-T and a CSX and a Charger GLH

I am glad that you lived to tell about it and saddened as you are, by the loss of an "Uncle Carroll Shelby" Great!

@@anthonyholleran9378 Thank you. I would love to find an old Omni GLH-S to restore.

I don't care who you are, that was fucking funny!! Thanks

Plymouth Sundance says hi

Hilarious!

Think it was cap 🧢

So true! I even have the Magazine where he said it! "April 1986 Hotrod magazine"

I think it's because the GLH was the ultimate hot hatch of its day. Blow the doors off of small block mobiles, go pick up your girl with her groceries, then laugh at fuel stations all the way home. If you are keen to tinker with it, there's a lot of meat left on the bone of its tune. The main thing lacking is suspension/brake R&D which you'll have to research and get creative.

not really. quite a few of them survived and they come up for sale all the time

Hahaha secretly but NOW want one!

10:23 Honda Made The F22A 2.2 Liter SOHC Vtec. the Accord engine

@@connoisseuroftigolbitts b18 is an integra motor, b20 is crv. In america at least

Chevy made a 2.2 4 cylinder. Cavalier/Sunfires. They were actually pretty tough engines ive had a few that i only paid $500 for winter beaters and beat the hell out of them

@crutksdub im talking even before the ecotec, the late 90's models came in either 2.2 or 2.4 in the z24 and gt's

Jon Dough 2.2 also came in the s10

Canadian Racing League thank God for Carroll Shelby

Read the road tests you are mistaken ....

Yeah my 89 Shelby z with a 3 inch exhaust and manual boost controller would eat 5.0 and 4.6 mustangs

Put sr20 in it :p

@@fila1445 I was thinking just a simple turbo setup with some suspension mods just drive it... ..but only because Ive already checked and getting an SR to fit is a pain in the arse, lol

@@beauson1983 I've put 2.0 16v engine in my 205 but I think my engine bay is a bit bigger that the one in micra, that being said I still think sr20 turbo would be more reliable in the long run

@@fila1445 Sorry man, but ive had too mcuh experience with turboed SR20's that I wouldnt use reliable in the same sentence. And I dont want stupid fast anyways, I have other stuff for that and I kinda like having something i can drive like ive stolen everywhere and no one cares :-) Im still considering an NA SR16VE with trumpets, but the issue is that you need to cut a bunch of the rail out to clear the pulleys where as now its nice and easy to service with plenty of room, and when im not chasing 300hp its pretty hard to justify the work, especially when I have other stuff thats way better suited to big power

@@beauson1983 easy, get a renault f4r engine. those things will do your target hp in stock form, and they are decently reliable.

Combatspace, I used to always get people telling me the inside rear was a foot in the air. Honestly, you can’t feel it but, I learned to check it in the mirrors sometimes for grins!

Bryan Leverett my friend sold one 2000 and it used to be my dad he but it was Meant no rust just paint chipping and little faded but I’m pretty sure it just going sit now

Thanks for at my young age.... making me feel old.

Shelby slapped their name on a large amount of 80s cars, mainly Chryslers. (Seriously, almost every 80s/k-car based chrysler has a Shelby version. And before you search craigslist, outside of the Omni GLH and GLHS, they're not very good)

Shelby was under contract with Dodge from the 80s into the very early 90s to make performance versions of the Omni, Charger, Daytona, Lancer, Shadow, and Dakota. His company, Shelby American, also did their own version of the Lancer and much later the Durango and their own entire car, the Series 1.

nope, its a Talbot Hoizon. know in europe for its rattley engine..

@@vespa81 I was close! Horizon. Sunbeam must have been some edition of it we got in Britain, if I remember right there was a 2.2 version. And they were rear wheel drive. Is that right?

Whats his name? :o

@@MrWastlandboy that_red_omni

Good name :D Thank you very much

It's not built right. The GLHS beat literally everything on the track besides the Porsche 911 turbo for the time. My dad owns a GLHS and I own a Shelby Charger and they handle amazing! These car's have bad torque steer, but it should be controllable with an LSD. It makes me think they put Auto Axles in the car which has a short axle and a long axle on the one side.

Blueprint Walsh I beg to differ. Front wheel drive cars, for this era (80’s), didn’t have the technology to compete with rear wheel drive cars, on the track. I recall they were limited to 200bhp max, whereas rear drive were not. The modern Honda Type R addressed the fwd torque steer problem with suspension geometry - steering axis scrub radius. And traction control electronics. This technology simply didn’t exist in the 80’s.

@@razorrich Your ignorance is showing. Go look into the Shelby GLHS' history right now before continuing to talk about what's fact and what you "Beg to differ".

Blueprint Walsh “Ignorance” you say. Name one article stating factory Dodge Omni GLHS, as you falsely claim “beat literally everything on the track.” I’ll wait.

@@razorrich It's a rare article and I'm struggling to find it. Here's few links that touch base on some of the facts. www.carmemories.com/cgi-bin/viewexperience.cgi?experience_id=113 www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/shelby-glhs.494707/
