this beast makes 652 hp at 25 psi. it ran a 9.51 at 143 on the drag radials you see in the picture !!!!


ive alwyas thought that the conquest/starion are the most bad ass looking cars made. the turbo 4 cylinder just seemed slightly aneemic for such a beefy looking RWD ride.

should have come like this from the factory!

That's bad as hell. I've always loved how those cars look.

This same car was for sale on here a while back for $35K.........

I like it a lot!!!!!!

Every once in a while I see one of those cars and think they would be way cool to do a swap in. I was always impressed with the size of the stock rear wheels for a car from back in the 80's. Made it look aggressive.

 

[KillrV6]

that stock turbo 4 probably has some gutts, i bet with a bigger turbo and some other little goodies you can boost them up to 300 at the wheels and have an awsome ride.

awsome looking body style
looks some what like a porsche 944 turbo, but its a bit more flared and boxy looking.

guy at my school had one that was souped up. they come w/ a pretty big front mount intercooler stock!

i hear they suffer from alot of underhood fires though

i still want a black or white one some day


anyone know of a good website for these cars? i have never been able to find a good solid site w/ recent updates

If I remember correctly that's a tube frame car with a Ford 9 inch rear. NOT a simple swap lol

Killer, the motor is pretty solid but the stock head is prone to cracking. You can replace it with a minivan head and be fine.

Other main problems with them is the factory wiring, supposed to be prone to problems.

Man I love how those cars look though. I'll probably own one eventually.
