1988 Dodge Daytona Shelby Z review from North America
"Sum it up in one word, FAST!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Really nothing has gone wrong for the 3 years I've owned it. I will have to replace the head gasket soon, but well maintained, these cars will run forever.
I replaced the fuel pump at 85,000 miles
I replaced the timing belt at 98,000.
General comments?
FAST!!! The Turbo engine is so FAST!! A great, fantastic car! The style still turns heads and will for a long, long time. Bright red paint looks great! Interior is roomy, neat electronics, the manual transmission makes it fun to drive. Buy one of these and you will never get rid of it.
