Summary:

It's the greatest sports car you'll probably never see.

Faults:

When I got the car, I had to repair an exhaust leak caused by stripped out exhaust manifold bolts that needed to be repaired.

I also had to replace one of the fuel injectors that was cracked.

General Comments:

I'm very glad I haven't had any major problems with this car because it is very difficult and expensive to get parts for.

It's a very unique car; I get a lot of looks from other people and I'm always asked 'What kind of car is that?'.

I love this car and I don't think I could sell it anytime soon.

This car is a lot of fun to drive with the acceleration and handling, not to mention the sound of the turbo spooling up.

I plan on doing some modifications to make it even faster than stock. Then I'll most certainly be able to beat all kinds of Mustangs and Camaros, not to mention all those Civics.

Summary:

I wouldn't sell it

Faults:

I have been very lucky with my conquest-compared to what I am reading. I have had no problems with anything (knock wood). Its the blue color with the leather black interior. I recently started showing it in the stock division-no modifications have been done to it. and two weeks go I one best in class.

I have found that all a car takes is alittle care. mine never goes out in rain, snow or the possibility of either.

I hope that everyone who is having troubles with the car can correct their problems and enjoy the car.

I get offers to buy it from me every time I take her out.

General Comments:

I love my car-and like I said I have owned it from the beginning which helps cars that have turbos.. you never know who's been beating the hell out of them.

I am curently looking for info on how many were imported and how many of he blue were made? if anyone has any answers for me or websites I would love to hear from you. good luck guys.

Very nice ride! I also owned an 89 with every factory option including the anti theft system. The 89 I had was an automatic, which meant it was slow off the line, but very consistant as far as predictable performance. I have driven mine as if it were a true race car and was never disappointed with the results. These cars were often overlooked and rare, so if you have one that is running well, keep it! I have found that the top speed of mine was roughly 150 to 160, because it is not certain how accurate the speedo was at that speed, but it was fun blasting away camaro, mustang, and firebirds away with ease at higher speeds. Cornering is also top notch, taking 45 to 50 mph turns in this car is unbelievable, it sticks like nobodies business. Enjoy your car!!

Summary:

Truly a total rear wheel drive sports car

Faults:

I blew the small hose coming from radiator to the inter cooler. I'm lucky I caught it or it could have been an expensive day.

General Comments:

I have only put 6000 miles on my conquest and have had few mechanical problems. But, electrical gremlins seem to plague this particular conquest. The guy I bought it from has owned it since 1990.The body and interior (white with burgundy leather) is immaculate. Keep in mind this car comes from 1988 technology and the acceleration this beast possess, stock, is something to behold.

Summary:

This is one serious ride with a few modifications.

Faults:

Clutch went at 120,000 miles.

General Comments:

The car is one of the best investments I have made yet.

I haven't really had any problems with mine yet because it was rebuilt before I bought the car.

I pull up to this Mustang 5.0 Cobra and he gave me this look, so I chatted with the guy for a few minutes and then ended going out on the highway to see what it can do. It was slow on the start, but once I hit second it went right through the gears up to 150mph and all you could see was lights way back in the mirrors. The rest is self explanatory.
