Dodge Colt Turbo. Surprising fast for a sh!t box.
Ditto for the Omni GLHS

I have also been in a mostly stock looking 600hp Civic. Basically the car spent the whole time trying to break your wrist.

The 80s were pretty horrible times for performance vehicles. But compared to what was available then, those were quick rides that didn't look like much.

Yeah and tuned they can be insanely quick.

Been around this one which was built for less then $2000 and runs low 11 in 1/4 mile and can get round an autocross course pretty quickly. The fender flares are made from metal from a filing cabinet.

I did almost buy a gold four door '68 Ford Torino with a 427 side oiler shoved in it but it was that summer when gas was above $4 a gallon and it would have been my only car. Still wish I had of bought it though.

When I was a kid, my Mom had a four door Dodge Dart that looked alot like this one:

Looked like the ultimate stodgy family sedan, but it had the optional 318cu V-8, and it could smoke the tires all day long. Not that I would ever have done such a thing.
