My GN Vs. Conquest TSI??

[1QUICK85]

OK, so my buddy emails me and tells me he will race me once I get my car running with his '89 Chrysler Conquest TSI. I know what they are I just dont know what they are capable of doing in stock form. I can only assume that his is in stock form as he never mods any of his cars, much less take care of them. So all I know is that they are 2.4L with a turbo and front mount intercooler and they are light as hell.

So, how much trouble is one of these cars in stock form?
What kind of boost do these cars run?
What are the horsepower numbers/track numbers on these cars?
Are they a totally different animal from the turbo daytonas?

Anything and everything you can tell me about these cars would be great and how bad do you think I would hand him his a$$ in the quarter mile?
Oh ya when I do race him I will hopefully be tuned and running at least 20PSI on race gas.......and a race chip too. Hopefully I will get him to go to the track with me I hope I am not being to cocky...........about this

TIA, Nick

I think theyre about 160whp stock,maybe 170whp.I had a friend with one that I raced in my old mid 15 sec Accord(off the nitrous but I did have a bored TB,header,exhaust,cai,ported head,etc) and I would smoke him until a lil after the 1/8 and he still couldnt catch me by the end of the 1/4(his car ran 15 lbs of boost).You will hand him his ass.

Ahhhhhhhh.........good to hear that............I already hand him his ass in his '94 Rustang GT which is stock too......he will never learn.

That is an awesome car. I like the looks of the Conquest.....but the drive train is lacking. And that guy did it the right way I will have to shoot my friend the link to that...maybe it will knock some sense into him.I mean this guy laughed at me when I put the blinker on in my GN and the light lite up on the dash that said RIGHT TURN......he said what a grandma car then I floored it.......he said WOOOOOOOOW. And that was before all my mods in my sig......

I can't wait to get my car running and leave him standing

That is one kick ass car!!

I just love seeing the buick turbo 6 in other cars. The conquest is definatly one of the best looking cars from the 80's in my book Especially lowered and with a cowl hood!! I sent my friend the link I hope it gives him a little inspiration to do something with his car........
