1990 Eagle Talon TSi review from North America
"It'll take out todays average sports car (Mustangs, Camaro's etc) without trying"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well it is a used sports car, and if not taken care of bad things are going to happen. I need to replace the head gasket because it's blown between cylinder 2 and 3.
1st and 2nd gear synchros are shot, have to shift slowly or double clutch.
General comments?
I have to say it's the fastest car I've ever driven.
It'll burn the tires without even trying to, and I only have 60% power out of the engine.
Speedo says it'll do 145 MPH and that's no lie, it will do 145 MPH+ (I sort of know this from testing it out).
It has extremely good handling, I can take a corner coming into my town that's limited to 30 MPH at 70 MPH without any tire noise or being scared it's not going to hold. Absolutely no body roll. Can also take 90 degree corners at 30 MPH.
