Something about those cars always got me, easy to work on, non interference heads and mods galore.
The Omni was quick 13.20 at 108.XX. Larger turbo, Mopar big valve head, Direct connection intercooler kit, 5th injector installed to run 18 psi. Was great little car. Sold it to a buddy of mine in the Navy. He had it for years, not sure what happened to it.
