I'm 17 and I'm proud I have a '90 Daytona ES.

It has the V6, and what do you mean you can't find anything for that engine? Mitsubishi used the 6G7 engine in the 3000GT, among countless others all the way from the late '80 til about 2007.

I think I'd rather have the V6 than the turbo. You get more lower end torque, excellent fuel mileage, and you don't have to worry about maintaining any turbos. All for what? Like 20 less horsepower? There no question about it for me, I'd pick the V6 any day.

@Z3RO0RD1E The engine in the 3000GT is DOHC, while the one in the Daytona is SOHC.

@sktm06

Really? I didn't know that.

Thanks for correcting me though. :]

But is it the same block though? Or would the difference in cam setup yield a different block? Because I do know that the engine in my car is from Mitsubishi.

[sktm06]

@Z3RO0RD1E They are same. The Daytona's SOHC is the exact same motor in the shitty 90s Dodge Caravans lol.

@Parliment86 funny there is a shitload around me, none of the 90s like mine... but a lot of 80s daytonas here, and im in a small town. ill admit 99% of them are not taken care of and now look like shit. BTW, how can you compare a challenger and charger to a old daytona ?

[XxretardhaterxX]

@Parliment86 Youre retarded to call these pretend sports cars. During and after the oil crisis, most 80's cars were tiny 4 cylinders. The turbo daytona were one of the only fast cars on the road. And just so you know, they're faster then 9 out of 10 cars on the road today. Also, turbos are not unreliable. In fact, a turbo daytona is more reliable than any challenger or daytona. cars today are more unreliable than ever and they cant even be worked on without an expensive diagnostic computer.

@Z3RO0RD1E 20 less hp stock. but ur v6 will never hit 300 hp which is not that hard to get out of a chrysler 2.2 8v turbo

[ww2gunexp]

to me this is just a jacked up gay wanna be version of the Plymouth roadrunner superbird. for those noobs out there look it up

[Brutalford]

Dodge turbo z was my first turbo car. I punched it out 30 over used a 2.5 head, Turbonectics sent me a larger 60 trim a/r turbo that pushed 15lbs center force dual friction clutch, msd ignition 35lbs inj and polished and ported head the purple cam from dodge and my girl wow! I'm a big v8 guy I also owned 91 SHO mtx that daytona was faster than everything I put it against. 10.36 documented and 289hp sold car for 15k 2003

@Jaymobe07 Well if you look at the date this was uploaded it was over 4 years ago, I was 19 and dumb then. But they aren't terrible cars. And some dude on the net does RWD conversions.

[EnVyDaMaG3R]

@Z3RO0RD1E Turbo-2 has 37hp more than The V6,And the Auto Trans suck of the V6.

How i know? i own a turbo 2.2Turbo, And a V6 with a gearbox that has been broken down 3time's With 150000km (90000miles) I dont mean the V6 is bad but it has some bad quality's.

[XxretardhaterxX]

@Z3RO0RD1E Lol you dont really have to "maintain" the turbo any more than you do the rest of the car. Its as simple as changing the oil on schedule and the line every 15 years lol. I personally do not like v6s. Theyre not very efficient when you think about it.

[drlafonda]

I own a 90 Dodge Daytona Turbo. I'm 17 and it's the first car I've ever had. I love it. It's super sporty and fast. I love driving fast in that car.
