not what I was trying to say, Opel is the #1 hate-brand, all the ugly poor white trash loser farmers (there's no right english word I know for them...) are driving those fart-can 1.3-1.6l Opel here.

hm hard to explain, they're not quite ricers, they're like ricer-wannabes

anyways, I'd sell my Lotus Omega and get a real Lotus for it

some of the impusles had lotus tuned susepnsions, so I'd suspect they handle rather well. Add the dodge Shadow to the list. And the turbo mitsubishi colt. It came with a 1.6 turbo I think but you can drop a 4g63 right into it
I didn't want to list more than one turbo Mopar, and I listed the GTC because it's a luxury grandma car

Re: Best early 90's turbo sleeper!

.....well, the lotus carlton isn't quite like any other opel/vauxhall.

like i said, lotus did more than just a little work on it.
so much so that it is always refered to as the lotus carlton/omega.
opel/vauxhall have very little to do with it otehr than supplying the basic car to lotus.

anyway.

Ouch, the GTC was a great sleeper, but hey they weren't grandma cars, those were the K-body LeBarons not the J-body.

K-Body:



J-Body:



AS for the rest of you, what is so damn hard about sticking to what is on the poll!? If you don't like the poll, make your own damn poll. These are the cars that kman is interested in, so stop arguing about what you think should be on the poll.

Actually, I wasn't making this poll to decide what car I should get, this was just for fun. I'd more than likely pick up any of these if I found one for a decent price.

My vote, as alwats, goes to a car that's such a sleeeper it's not listed: Dodge Omni GLHS.
