Still not impressed? Suppose we told you this car had a stock bottom end, stock compression and was built using factory parts exclusively? This is virtually the automotive equivalent of having your cherry cheesecake and eating it, too." "I'd eat a can of worms before I drove a Chevy." "I love the sound of a 350 at full beller getting passed by a 4 cylinder!!!" "Ahh, well. He *did* just get humiliated by a four-door econobox..." "Since then, she has about gotten me in more trouble than I can stand. You know, you decide to drive nice, and not cause any trouble, when a punk in a Moosetang goes past, and she looks at you disgutedly and asks, 'Are you going to sit there and take that???'" "Well I whoop all over him (a Honda Accord)and he wants to go again and once again I whoop all over him and all of his friends are laughing at him and wondering why they spent so much on their cars when they can't even out run a Lancer." "At the speed of sound" HorizGLH86: I can't wait to blow away some punks jb4576: some? all of them! "Keep smokin' the riceburners!" "If you can't run with the big dogs, stay back with the Mustangs!!" "I had to trade my ailing van to my cousin for a :( Oldsmodile only till I get my Omni back together then it's gone. For anybody that has ever thought about converting to another make of car this Oldsmobile makes me remember why I'm a Dodge guy. The inner fenders are completely rusted out, the interior lights only work part of the time, why? because they are designed so the light bulbs fit loosely in the sockets, 1 bump-no lights. The car is VERY poor quality throughout, the steering wheel is cracked/ broken all the way around. The power antenna is junk(and this car is in good shape compared to many others I have seen.) So my motto is MOPAR or No-car stronger than ever!" Mike Marra "The Contraption" 1986 Plymouth Horizon "GLMF" 13.93 @ 96 mph "You should have seen the looks on all the ricers faces that were there!" "May the boost be with you." "Got boost?" "SHELBY/Dodge...and DAMN proud of it!" "Now I know what you maybe thinking, "a page for that piece of junk." But as any of you who have owned one of these cars before can testify, there is something about the Plymouth Horizon (Dodge Omni), that makes it more than a car. It becomes... a friend." "Doesn't it just scream SEX?" :-) "The cargo capacity of a minivan...the ruggedness of a pickup...and looks to die for!" "Stay slideways" "Went and drag raced my GLH today, fair results, the only mods are 2.5 cat back exhuast and MP computer, spun the tires thru 1st 2nd and chirped third." "Yo! Honda dude! I GOT YOUR 'FEAR THIS' RIGHT HERE!!!!" "I plan on doing everything in my power to get a GLH. It would make my life complete, I have a perfect family, nice daily driver car, go to a great college, have great friends, have an awesome girl friend. I just need a GLH to reach self actualization." "Teamomni kicks ass!" "Carroll poses with his self-admitted favorite car, the 1986 Shelby GLHS." "I wish, only for a brief second, that my Omni looked more like it could haul botay so all the other cars would stop giving me a head start!!" "Keep it fast, keep it sleeper, keep it on the street." "The Omni GLH came out saying "I'm an Omni...No really...Just a little Omni...(snicker)..." My Omni Pummels Annoying Ricegrinders (Ricerburners) (Ricers) "Mopar or no car!" "Peace, love, boost." My car's the "Bomni" "So many V8s, so little time...." "When people pass me and laugh, I just pray that one day they try to pass a GLH..." "!RAC ON RO RAPOM" "Does anyone else live in Camaro-Rustang-Jokewagon land?" "I'm still just giddy at the thought of driving a second omni...and everyone i told has groaned about it, save my brother(but HE owns an omni!). what's up with that? is it one of those things where you gotta be there to understand? is love really so blind!?! "Shelby/Dodge - when you're ready to kick some serious butt!" "God bless the L body." "I completely agree that the Omni GLH-T is beautiful. I am the original owner of a red '85 with a silver/gray interior. I have been told by persons over 50 that it is a good looking car, they seem to appreciate the blacked out grill, the red and black contrast, and understand that it is a serious sports car. You may be too young to remember, but in 1985 the only faster American car was a Corvette." "I am into peugeot powered horizons, by fate. I got one for free and it wont die." Paul Barkdoll "She runs like a raped ape." "Flames are the holy grail of horsepower." "This car is simplicity itself." "Mopar, Mospeed" "Its not the tip, but the size of the pipe that counts." "MP computer allowing 11psi boost otherwise BONE STOCK with 134k miles. -Victory #2 was against a 97 VTEC Accord, complete with boy racer graphics and chrome wheels. This guy and his wife were chuckling at me in the staging lanes for five minutes, so my 15.77 to his 17.1 was particularly sweet. Afterwards they pulled up next to me and asked, "What the hell is that thing!" I replied "Yawn....just an old Dodge Omni." "I pulled another 1.04G max! Gotta love that negative camber!!! I had the pleasure of tromping on a CeLiCa, JeTTa vr6, LeGAcy 2.5GT, and a (anal)probe!!! Mopar fairs well again. There was a guy with a new Viper GTS there, he packed up early cuz he OBVIOUSLY couldn't drive it right. I was posting faster times than he was." Jay Storm 94 Shadow ES 3.0V6 "Got boost? Better get it!" "Half the cylinders, twice the fun!" "88 Olds 88, wife's car( down.....again)soon to be sold, DAMN GM ANYWAY" "Anyway, we reached the end of the Brickyard. GLH - 1, Porsche (911 Turbo)- Goose egg. The owner, resplendent in gold chains, slammed the door of his car and DEMANDED to look under my hood. He thought it would be a turbo, but no....... Disgusted, he got back into his 911, fishtailed, and took off. I drove home with a very wicked grin on my face." "Long live the Omni!" "Gee, A Lotus driver asking an Omni owner for go-fast advice. This sort of message makes me tingly. Response: Tell him to throw a Dodge 2.2 in it, and rid the twin Turbos! :)" "Remember......TOO MUCH POWER IS A GOOD START :)" "Any idiot can make big horsepower from a V8. It takes a bigger man to make that kind of power from a four cylinder, front wheel drive car." "Also, you have got to remember that the STOCK Charger 2.2 was rated higher than both the V8 Mustangs and Trans Ams back in 84 from several road-test magazines. The car outhandled, outbraked, and out accelerated both of these "performance cars" and it was a front-wheel drive, carburated, 4-cylinder." "Fast V8's are a dime a dozen. Four cylinder cars that can run with them are something special." "Actually the most power I have ever seen out of 2.2L engine was 411hp and 396 ft-lbs of torque at the flywheel. This particular engine was being put into a 1700 lb. (fully gutted, lexan everything, etc) Dodge Omni." "The other day I saw a 5 inch tip on 1.75 inch exhaust on a Honda Civic. Poor kids." "Oh by the way. I saw pictures of the Omni doing cartwheels along a road. It lands on its wheels and keeps going !!!" "Later, and boost regards." "I'd rather drive a $15,000 Omni than make the payments on a $50,000 Viper!" "What ya got in that thing dude?"(Camaro Owner) I said "4 banger" ,he said, "Maybe I bought the wrong kinda car" to which I said, "Yes you did" "My friends might have said that they wanted a mustang but once they get a ride in the glh they shut up!!" "Did you see the new Grand Am?? Wow!! I saw one, in the rear view mirror as I blew it's doors off!!! :)" "However, if you run out and buy a Shadow/300M/Grand Am/whatever, don't try to talk about it here... Unless the post includes... and before I knew it, that L-body had blasted past my Grand Am like I was standing still, forcing me to reconsider my choice of automobile..." "Feeling great that I just wasted a $25,000 Rustang with my $150 n/a Horizon that was rusted out and everything......I began the devilish laugh..." "New York City, dead of winter, and getting hit daily with MASSIVE snow. The reporter is talking to a city cop, and the cop says "Do NOT even attempt to drive out here unless you have a 4 wheel drive truck." Just then, in the background, right before the screen fades out, I saw a little white Omni drive by. I laughed and laughed, then picked myself off the floor and laughed again. It was a good time to be an Omni owner!" "The Shelby has straight-line stability in abundance, and its steering, in the opinion of some enthusiastic staffers, is the best power-assisted steering encountered in any American car." "The steering, with a ratio of 14.0:1, is highly linear and vastly superior to the wishy-washy units of the Z28 and the Mustang." "If we had to liken our pre-production GLH to a tool, we would choose an ax -- crude but *very* effective. 'Finesse', as it's spoken by the refined GTI, is not in this car's vocabulary". "Maybe you want the nastiest little son of a bitch money can buy. Maybe you don't. But at least you know where this car stands." Car and Driver "I will start out by saying "I WAS ROUGH ON THIS CAR, TAKING 5.0L Mustangs, Camaro's, TransAm's, and every other "hot" car out from stoplight to stoplight." The L-body Turbo Is my Shepherd, I Shall Not Want. It maketh me burnout on black pavements, It leadeth me beside busy freeways. It restoreth my soul. It leads me in the path of quickness, For its name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of rice, I shall fear no V-8's, for Boost art with me. Thy rod and Thy piston, they comfort me. Thou preparest a track before me. In the presence of mine enemies, Thou hast anointed my bearings with oil. My car overpowers. Surely traction and victory shall follow me all the days of my life. And I shall dwell in the house of the Shelby Dodge forever. Amen. "And yes, a lot of my friends chuckle and laugh, that is until the boost comes on ... Then they wish they had brought a spare diaper to change into!" "The Box that ROCKS!" "GM will discontinue the F-Body (Camaro/Firebird/Trans Am) at the end of the 2000 sales year due to bad sales figures (Pause for bow-tie morons to stop crying). Three down, how many more to go.....?" "Long live the 1.6!" "85 GLH T1: 2,000,000 Miles and can still eat a Stang." "Would you really want to associate with someone who didn't like Omni's?" "MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD BOOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "Does your car run on Soy Sauce or is it Duck Sauce?" "Big block? We don't need no steenking big block!!!" "Dodge: Performance Is Not an Option" "My wife says who ever buys her must treat her with love and respect cause she's pulled us out of a bind more times than we can count." Top Ten Reasons (or more)to Love an L-Body - L-bodies are the lightest. - L-bodies are more solid. - L-bodies are better looking. - L-bodies are the cheapest. - L-bodies are the sleeperest. (sleeperest?) - L-bodies haul more stuff per unit space. (Hey, that 2x6x12 was a breeze!) - Camaros are for wimps. - Insurance is cheaper - Omnis are less likely to be stolen - Used parts are more plentiful / less expensive - Omnis outhandle Camaros easily - From the driver's seat, you don't have to lean over to unluck the passenger-side door in an Omni - Four doors - Try driving that Camaro in snow! - Omni owners are usually less boastful / obnoxious than Camaro owners - GLHs and GLH Turbos are much more rare than "me too" Camaros - What is more impressive, saying your Camaro beat an Omni in a race, or saying your Omni beat a Camaro in a race? - 30+ MPG what with the current trends is gas cost is nice - Speed, power, handling, looks.......Well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad - People with sport utility vehicles won't pull out in front of an 85 Dodge Box, they are afraid I have a strong unhindered desire to collect their insurance dollars - I never met a Messtang I couldn't surprise - What other car can you leave unlocked with the keys in the ignition and know it will be there when you get back? - Watching the face of a non-believer in the passenger seat when I am at the apex of the clover-leaf exit ramp doing 75 MPH "I am even more aware how quick our GLHS cars are after yesterday. I had to drive a customers car. It was a 98 mustang SVT Cobra with supercharger. I was expecting excitment. What I got was "Is that IT?" My GLHS would smoke it so easy. (Maybe he had the Supercharger turned off?) I would never sell my GLHS. No matter how many times I have to fix or repair it to keep it living. It's just to much fun." "Over 85 million Mustangs served." "The riceboys have just about cornered the market on useless, stupid automotive "upgrades" (mile high spoilers, 25" wheels, tinted taillight covers, VTEC/TypeR decals applied to any car no matter what make/model/engine, etc) so let's let them keep this one to themselves." "We are not planning on getting rid of the car anytime soon. Still way to many Mustang, Firebird, and Camaro owners to meet!!" "85 GLH-T (Changing perceptions one green light at a time!)" "If speed kills....Drive a Honda....Live 4 ever!" "If you put that much in a Honda it just goooooess slower!" "Today every man and woman at Chrysler has a commitment; a commitment to build the best cars and trucks in the world.Quality. Hard work. Commitment. This is the stuff America is made of. And this is the stuff Chrysler is made of." "Let's go fry some rice!" "Smoked rice anyone?" "Turbocharged machine creates another fiend." "If you apply full throttle in first or second gear with the front wheels cocked a bit to port or starboard, the GLH Turbo is going to go where it's pointed-into that ditch, up that snowbank, or around that tree. We're not kidding." -Car and Driver "In Heaven, does everybody drive Omnis?" "2.2L Mopar rules the night..." "In fact, according to ole Shelby himself, it will (and did) beat a Ferrari 308 on the track and at the strip."
