I know a K car is nothing to look at, but my cousin
and I have been working on an Omni GLH Turbo which is
damn fun to work on and drive. We are just finishing
the intercooling stage. This this will be running
close to 200 hp and a quarter mile time around 13.8.
IT may not be the best looking car, but that's way
it's fun. YOu shoudl see the look on the drivers face
of the mustang GT or Camero Z28 when they get bet by
an Omni! That is satisfaction.
