The '80s decade was the beginning of the "Turbo Revolution" you could say. Buick really opened eyes with the notorious Regal T-type, Grand National and legendary GNX model. Ford introduced their turbo project in the SVO Mustang and Dodge was doing really cool things with Carol Shelby. This clip features one of the biggest sleepers ever to hit the streets. If you thought the Buicks were sleepers, well check out Dodge's turbocharged GLHS Omni lol. For me this is tough to watch as the 1985 and 1986 GT is my all time favorite 5-liter Foxbody Mustang model. Especially in Oxford white with the black accents and trim. But on the other hand it is so cool watching this little underdog sleeper compete with the powerful V8 lol.
I’m loving these old race vids
Thank you bud! I figured people would love to jump in the #MustangTown Time Machine and see what '80s muscle cars actually ran in brand new factory showroom stock form. People don't realize that the 5.0 Mustang, IROC-Z Camaro, Formula 350, Grand National and even Dodge's little turbo tuner cars actually were competitive with the muscle cars of the late '60s and early '70s. The common "run of the mill" muscle cars that is. The LS6 Chevelle, Stage 1 GS Buick, HEMI Road Runner, 'Cuda & Challenger and other more specialty and rare big block models were different story. But even they became exaggerated over the years. Most of those were just 13 second cars... but most of the regular muscle cars from that era were just 14 second cars, just like the performance models of the '80s.
Those Big block muscle cars would have run much better times with today's tires. The bias ply radials weren't much for traction. Remember, if you're spinnin, you ain't winnin!
That's an amazing run by the omni! Just shows you those 2.2L turbos could hang with the V8s back in the day
Cool videos...takes you right back to that era--what a great time that was...!!!
It was a great time to grow up. 5.0 Mustangs, Motley Crue, BMX and Ronald Reagan lol.
@@nedaCFilms 👊🇺🇸 and gi joes lol
@@c431inf omg how could I forget?!?! Back in 1982 a teacher confiscated a big 'ole bag of GI Joes from me. Must've been 20+ figures in that bag. At the end of the school year she returned them to me with only couple Joes in the bag..... because every week I would sneak one out if her desk when Ms. Baker left the classroom lol!!!
I wish I still had my Gung Ho marine and Wild Bill helicopter and Snakes Eyes.... remember the cartoon?
@@c431inf Red Dawn, what a great classic movie!!! First Blood was another fantastic flick. Original Karate Kid was another...... Top Gun too lol
This was a good match up, no room for driver error.
Nice race my 86 GLHS ran 14.7 @ 94 mph stock in the late 80s.
14.7 was quick in the '80s. A buddy of mine in 1987 had a brand new Shelby Charger that we took to Ocean City, Maryland for beach week. We raced so many IROC-Z Camaros and 5.0 Mustangs lol
@@nedaCFilms Good times! Times flying bye..ha
Love that GLHS!
Me too! 😉
As someone who has owned Fox Bodies and Turbo Dodges- the 2.2 turbo with an intercooler is a good match for the 5.0 stock vs stock.
Yep you are right on.
They just don't last very long.
Half the displacement and half the cylinders. Great race.
What a blast from the past, that race was way to close for comfort! I had 2 friends that drove them GLH Omnis back in the day.
lovvvvveit ! thanks for the upload
I had both an 85 GT and a turbo Mopar both very respectable 80s muscle. In my opinion two of the best from that era.
I had a friend who restored an 85 Shelby Charger super fun car.
I really like those old turbo cars.
Almost an embarrassing finish for the 4 eyed Fox! LOL! Thankfully we have come a long way in 30 years. Factory muscle cars running high 11's bone stock! Got to love it!
Awesome vids just need a hole lot more keep them coming.

Do you remember the old 1982 Dodge Shelby Chargers? I believe they were 4cyl with a single Turbo on them but they were also sleepers. Awesome videos brother 👍👍👍
I had an Asian buddy back in 1987-88 that had a 1985 or 86 Turbo Shelby Charger. It was the maroon or burgundy color with gray accents/trim on the hood, kind of like the 85-86 Mustangs had charcoal/matte black on the hood. Anyway, he had a chip in it and a couple other little tweaks but it ran very well! We were coming back from beach week at Ocean City and raced our buddy's 1985 TPI IROC-Z that also had a chip and gears (maybe exhaust too, I don't remember) and Khan's Turbo Shelby Charger hung right in there with the IROC-Z. We were impressed lol. Such fun days! I have so many memories and stories from the late '80s!
@@nedaCFilms Yes, those were the cars. Not alot of people knew what they were capable of but they were very fast little cars and the thing about it is, you don't really hear much talk of them compared to others. Great story man 👍 Yes, the good ole days and the memories we have. There are many days that I wish it was still like it used to be...
funny you say that. my Dad bought one brand new. he sold it when i was 4. i remenber it like it was yesterday. had a Michael Jackson tape in the tape player too. My mom would go uptown and do burnouts in it and tell me look for cops so we dont get caught
@@chunkafunk81 I bet that memory you have is one of the reasons you grew up to Love cars I'm assuming. Sounds like you had some very cool parents 👍 They we're awesome little cars and Fast.
Evenly matched. That's pretty sad for a v8
Not when there’s a turbo involved.
As I recall the GLHS could run in the 13s w basic mods and that's after a fwd launch.
