a real sleeper
the 1991 dogde spirit r/t turbo. i know a guy who has one. he took me for a spin and boy was i surprised. all i have to say is be more careful at stoplights! i did a lil research and found this out:

The engine is a 16-valve intercooled 2.2 liter, known as the Turbo III. Maximum boost was set at 11 psi. The result of this hardware is a smooth 224 hp at 6000 and 217 lb-ft at 2800. Redline is set at 6500 with a fuel cutoff at 6700.
With all this hardware underhood the R/T was certainly a surprise at the stoplights. Weighing in at just over 3150 pounds, the R/T could scorch from 0 to 60 in 5.8 seconds. The quarter mile flashed by in 14.5 seconds at 97 mph; top speed was 141. This performance gave Dodge some impressive bragging rights!
