1987 Dodge Daytona Shelby Z review from North America
"High performance out of a 4 cylinder"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The shifter became disconnected from the tranny.
I had to put an exhaust on when I purchased it.
The guy I bought it from did work on the tranny and didn't put oil back into it, so I had to replace that after running it for 600 miles with no oil.
General comments?
Has 10 hp less than my '88 Sunbird with custom turbo, but that was an auto, the Daytona is faster than the Sunbird was.
The car is real fast and I love the sound of the turbo as I accelerate.
I've always wanted a Daytona, but got a deal with the Sunbird so this time the Daytona is all I was looking for.
I'm disappointed that they stopped making the Daytona, but it will make mine more of a classic in a few years.
