"A very well built fast car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Speed distance sensor does not appear to work.

Clock/gas mileage computer does not work.

Air Charge Temp Sensor is not reading correctly.

General comments?

I have only owned this car for a month, but I already am very impressed with it. A sportscar of its time, the Daytona handles very well, and has a lot of power. Motor and turbo were very recently rebuilt, and there are only a few things needing repair. This is obviously expected of 16 year old car. It has even started in -20 degree weather and I am very satisfied with the purchase. I paid $1100 for it, and it was worth every penny. By spring, I will see how well I have done with it when I take it to the track.

I would like to speak with other Daytona owners, so drop me a line:

The Dodge Daytona was a sporty car, but definitely not a sports car. Not even in 1988.

I agree with the first comment. The Daytona is not a sports car. It was a sporty little inexpensive car. Although I'm sure it's peppy and fun to drive, it wasn't made to compete with world class sports cars of the 80's or today.

I also agree that the Daytona is not a sports car, but I own a 1989 Daytona Shelby since new and love the car. Parts for the car are very cheap compared to imports and there are a lot of things you can do to these cars to improve their performance. A company called Foward Motion makes tons of parts for 2.2 and V6 Dodge cars that can really turn you're not so sporty car into a real performer, check out that site!
