1987 Dodge Shadow EX review from North America
"Great running performer for a great price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that went wrong with the car was the temperature sensor, and thermostat. Otherwise this car is beautiful, and runs mint as long as it is taken care of.
The heater core needs to be done also.
General comments?
It has responded well to all the custom parts I have done to it, and it shoots to 60mph in about 6.5 seconds. It can eat most Integra's. Cool turbo too!
I have done a K&N intake to it, 2.5in cat-back Dynomax exhaust, Accel wires and coil, Platinum +4 plugs, Neuspeed strut tower bar, Eibach spring kit (lowered 1.5in), 16in alloy wheels, and 205-50-16 Kumho tires.
Very responsive and turns on a dime.
