I have had American (Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge etc.), Japanese (Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi etc.) and this is hands down the most reliable car that I have ever had Period!
I had a blow off valve on the turbo (to pull extra boost from the Turbo), ran this car at the local drag strip every week for a period of 5 years straight, and literally come out of the bleach box with smoke coming by the side windows from the front tires spinning, and it is indestructible. At 220,000 miles the car still has the original alternator and gets in excess of 38 mpg on the highway! AWESOME!
Awesome! I have an 87 with 188k miles. LOVE it! These cars last 4 ever. Never will part with it. email me sometime. ANYONE who has one. I live in San Jose CA and never see these cars around. kennykscu@yahoo.com
I too, share the religious zeal from the experience of (formerly) owning THREE Chevy Sprint Turbos in my life (2 white 1987s and one red 1988), and it is arguably the most fun car I've ever owned! I used to consistently get 50 mpg all day long in my Sprint Turbos, which were FAR more fun then the regular Sprints; not only THAT, but I also used to actualy be able to keep up with some v8 sports cars! If you can get your hands on one of these cars, GET it!!
