- This video was originally uploaded by Bajabusta but I haven't been able to find this in a long time. The only one I could find had the audio changed. I made no edits.
oh my god, I'm buying one of these in a month from a friend, and this commercial just made the car 100% cooler.
2.2 Turbo Four Cylinder 146 HP . Yes the Dodge Daytona was one of my favorite cars of the 80s.
I love the car (in spite of it's K car heritage) but that commercial was hilarious. "Oh my god. He's just repeating the phrase highway to the danger zone." ...and why did people in the '80s think that flashing between two videos was a cool effect? I mean, even when the technology to do that was new, it just emphasizes cheesiness.
I had a 1989 Pacifica trim level it was fun to drive and even drove great in snow with that front wheel drive.
The Daytona definitely had a badass front end
Had a 87' Daytona Shelby Z as my daily driver for 9 years and was a great and dependable car. Have had several Daytonas over the decades starting with a new Daytona turbo back in 84' and currently have a 84' Daytona Turbo Z.
My 88 Shelby Z Turbo II was my first car. It never stranded me, was great in snow, could carry a couch jammed end-in into the back with the hatch open, and got excellent milage for its time, especially compared to the V8s it was offered against. The turbo came on strong at 2500rpm, and though I rarely raced anyone, I did tie up with my buddy in his 305 Camaro. It cornered really well. It was stiff as hell, but in the corners, it rewarded you. I wish I could have kept it, but parts got really hard to find.
What many people who make fun of this kind of stuff don't realize is that 30 years from now the shit we think is normal or cool is going to be getting made fun of just as badly as this is.
These cars are so 80's, even the 80's are jealous!
This is 80's-tastic. Not super crazy about this car, but the retro vibes are well worth the trip here.
But I did like my car back then ,but much rather our 390 AMX
I had an 87 Daytona Shelby Z, it was a fun car, and quick for its time. I see prices creeping up again
I miss these cars. Sucks they didn't last long and parts are super hard to come across now. Had 2....honestly wish I never sold either of them
I remember the Dodge Daytonas. They were among the first cars to prove that a front wheel drive car can perform as well as or better than any rear wheel drive car.
Ehhhh... and I had an 86 CS as my first car, but the best I got now is "eh" lol. While I won't say they were perfectly competitive with all F-body's all the time, I'll still cherish my Ws over 305 autos lol. And once I learned what a "wastegate" was, with the GM 3.8 TTs, too. Alas, my car died an early death lol.
If there is another car video that is more 80s, I haven't seen it. I owned an 86 Chrysler Laser base model and an 88 Daytona Pacifica but never had those 'danger zone' adventures. The Daytona reached its peak in style with the addition of pop up headlights IMO.
I had a 91 Es with the 3.0 and 5 speed, was a great car sporty, afordable, comfortable, fast and made driving fun. Dam thing was even good in the snow hey @crysler make cars like that again.
I agree . Believe it or not the Dodge Daytona was one of my favorite cars back in the 1980s
IMO, this was the one to go with: wasn't all that fast per se... but was comfy + cruisy... and if you really needed to bang a gear, it would smoothly ride right up to that 85 mph lol.
Quintessential 80s.
I remember mine with turbo. Loved that plush burgundy interior and flip up headlights.man she looked great .miss her.
My Daytona Pacifica is just like the one at 1:25 same color but without the "T" bar it has a sunroof. Bought my Daytona back in 1989, everything is still original. When not in use it's always in the garage out of the sun. Paint and interior is still like new. I feel like I'm the last of Daytona owners, don't see any on the road except for me. People give me complements and thumbs up.
@@jgstargazer there's still some left man! I have a white 87 shelby z with the t-bar, original paint, and still looks great. Stays in a heated garage when not in use :)
@@nerdgey9394: My Daytona is still humming along. I live just outside of Fresno California so being it's rare it's a pleasant surprise to Fresno seeing me driving down the streets. Where do you live?
@@jgstargazer Im in Upstate NY man, so even more rare up here lol, I envy your lack of salt hahaha
@@nerdgey9394: Salt? I like to use salt in my meals lol. No salt over here just lack of rain (drought) and at worst fog and 25 degree weather at it's coldest in the winter. Never snows here only in the mountains. Wash your car often especially underneath where the salt starts to corrode the metal.
2.2 4 Cylinder 146 HP . Yes the Dodge Daytona was one of my favorite cars of the 1980s. They should bring the Daytona back with Hellcat engine. 💪🏻💪🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Daytonas been back with versions of the Charger...
This was the Shelby Z with 174 HP/200 FT Pds torque.
This is hilarious! xD Thanks for uploading! Shame Dodge currently isn't producing another high-output FWD turbo-4 these days...
thats cause this one was a total failure just like all the other cars they made
@@stichmon5527 That's a blatant lie. This car may have flopped but credit where credit is due, Dodge is still up there on the auto manufacturer list.
@@stichmon5527 k cars didn't flop. I had one of these, it was my first car, loved it until I ended up blowing the head gasket (which was a common problem in these cars).
Dude you're outta your mind! Mopar wrote the book on fwd turbo 4's. Daytona showed up in '84 and within a short time they were #4 seller out of two dozen cars in its class. They were affordable, reliable, durable, efficient, and a lot of fun.
Yeah the last one they made was the Neon SRT 4 what a box that was I would take a Daytona over a Neon anyday
I had an 88 c/s 5 speed I bought new from the PX when I was stationed in Germany. It’d get to @ 130 before the waste gate on the turbo dumped. Drove it on the autobahn and the Hungaroring F1 track ($2 and hour). That was a fun car. I wish I still had it.
Speedboats...mullets...short sleeve jackets...Ahhh the ,80s
Not to mention a lot of neon colors and shoulder pads as well!
Well this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
This was the third car I ever owned. A red one. I got those cheap plastic rear window louvers rattling at 120 mph on the highway one night back around '92 and left them shattered in pieces all over the road behind me.
I'm getting a Wraith vibe off of this
That is the most 80s thing I've ever seen.
She totally cut that guy off at the end
I love these cars, but...YIKES... 😂 The Shelby was a pretty quick car and would keep up with the 5L T/A's.
Shit, I’m growing my mullet out again!
If it was good enough for Frank Sinatra to drive and pull away from the Corvette in Cannonball Run its good enough for me.
Frank’s the man!
In 1987 it was cool to pick up random cigarette butts off the floor as souvenirs.
Why can't they make sharp car's like this anymore. Now there all round
God dammit I wish I lived in 1980's America just to get those cool cars
I am just watching this because my friend offered his original 22,000 miles for $3000 obo no leaks doesnt smoke runs great should I buy it ?
I would. They are hard to find. Period. My two are the only ones I have seen in over a decade! Mine saw 22,000 miles over 30 years ago! Buy, enjoy it, and if you don't enjoy it. You can sell it for more!
Thank You Very Much for The Video
1984-1993 Dodge Daytona Sooooooo Cool Always
I had a 1988 EFI model, brand new with a 5-speed and 2.5 L engine. It only had 100 HP. This commercial is ridiculous.
I couldn't pass anything, much less a trans am or rx7.
That is a base model. They are slow. Up until a year ago I had an '89 Base 2.5L 5 speed car and it had nothing on my two '87 Shelby Z Daytona's. I guess that is why it's gone and I still have those two!
ytykg I bet! Even tho it was slow as hell, the car lasted to 300k, then it started making the dreaded knocking/tapping noises, so I sold it. I loved the styling of it tho, and those tail lights were awesome, very unique even today! I miss it! It also had the sunroof that you had to take out and store in the rear. I always hated that It wasn't an electric one, especially when it started to rain!
Yes one of my Shelby's has a sunroof. I finally replaced the seal because when it rained it didn't matter if it was open or not I got wet! All three are still going but I have no clue how many miles are on any of them as all of the odometers are broken! One Shelby's has 038,234 miles on it...at least that's what the odometer says!
This one had a 2.2 Intercooled Turbo with 230 HP
@@santopotter And the mileage was still worse than a new Charger has.
I used to love This Damn Car back then.Especially When Sgt.DeeDee McCall Sported Her's.It's most definitely an 80's icon.
I have this model in 1/25 scale and would love to have one in real life !

it's been on my website since 2012. you can take it down now :)
Why did you remove it from youtube?
i didn't :( i was taken down :(
Well I'm not running any ads or trying to make money off of it. Can I just
add a link to your site in the description? I'm really just trying to share the video with my fellow Daytona owners!
do you think you like own this video or something?
Did you buy the rights from Chrysler?
only the F-14 is missing .... holy shit :-)
Comparing it to a Z car and a Trans am, thats the funny part. The z and Trans Am could handle a corner and they were both rwd. The daytona was a k car with stiffer springs.
LMFAO!!! the Daytona was better than the T/A in 1987 the T/A with the 305 had 185hp at curb weight of 3500 pounds the Daytona had 180hp with the curb weight of 2800 pounds
@@79tazman Its still a front wheel drive throw away k car with a suspension job.
F-Body GM cars from the 80’s are boat anchors. Fox Body or a 2.2 Turbo Mopar any day
@@rickvincent5701 Foxbody, Ok
The 80s Mopar, you gotta be kidding me. How many are left of those throw away K Cars? Dodge didnt make a respectable car in that era. The resurgence came with the Stealth, ignoring the unobtainable Viper for the average person
@@scottwitkowski1298 I own a fully original one with the original paint and its still showroom quality. Rebuilt the engine for performance and it puts close to 300hp to the wheels. This car has been nothing but dependable, sporty, and absolutely bulletproof. Keep crying.
Why would you pay for the rights to use a Kenny Loggins song then use some lame identical cover without Kenny Loggins. . .
This commercial sold me on the Nissan Z instead 😆
How we survived the 80's is a miracle.
This isn't a Top Gun rip at all.
Top gun is what made the 80’s the 80’s😂
Imagine a Mitsubishi Eclipse engine in one of these...
Let’s not- that 2.0 turbo in the eclipse was a POS compared to the 2.2 turbo.
The 1992-93 Daytona had something better, a 225hp twin cam 2.2
'87 TPI TransAm for the win!
Always liked these cars, but that Trans Am would have murdered that Daytona.
I don’t know- those 80s era F-Bodies were total boat anchors.
Space shuttle
LMAO!!! 1:25 Blew the head gasket @ 1:33
William John p Not difficult on that car. Trust me😁
Haha I believe it! I blew the headgasket on my Shadow ES with the 2.5L Turbo engine twice doing the same type of driving haha
I'm pretty sure that is right wheel peel. Looks like tire smoke from the right front tire (these cars didn't have limited slip).
My favorite part is how the video does arbitrary zooming wherever it can't actually go fast, and the one scene he shifts you can physically feel.
Fast lane, my ass. But damn it's good at drifting i love my daytona
Danger
I test drove one, every time I hit a bump the voice would say door ajar also sounded like a bowling ball rolling around in the dash. Not a great car.
I think all these, “Oh, the 80s were so cheesy and cringeworthy!” comments are way more lame and banal than the actual video itself.
Worst $13000 I ever spent junk transmission ,everything that could go bad did .
My mother bought one and it was fun, when it was new, but the dashboard fell on her lap on the fourth year.
What a joke of a car. All show and no go. FWD piece of crap.
Says the guy who lost a race to one I’m guessing. I’ll bet ya girlfriend went home with the bro who had the Daytona that beat you light to light with your mommy’s Tercel
