Back in high school, I had a competitor ro the EXP, an '81 Dodge Omni 024 in, of course, black and silver. I loved that car. If a decent one comes my way, I will own it...even though it was lame.
It, however, had a couple of advantages on the EXP- a back seat for one, and the old 2.2L for another. Why is the 2.2L an advantage? because a 2.2L turbo will bolt right in and with the right work will make gobs of power in a light (though flexible) platform.
