1991 Dodge Daytona Shelby review from North America
"I love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
She has had a few problems, but only one that was a little on the expensive side to fix.
That one problem was electrical, the power locks had a mind of their own when it rained, as did the wiper upon occasion. This was fixed by replacing a very inexpensive relay.
At one time, the gromets which connect the shifter cables to the transaxle, fell out and left me stuck in reverse. I was able to get the car into third and proceeded to drive home in third gear. The real kicker is that Chrysler wouldn't sell me just the gromets. They made me buy both complete cable just for the gromets.
Also, the car likes to eat front tires, but that is not due to bad alignment or anything. I have a tendency to be hard on the throttle.
General comments?
I really love this car. It performs well, handles excellent, looks better than just about any new car, and suits me perfectly. It has hooked me on turbo charged Chrysler products for good. I just purchased another, a 1986 Laser XE.
