Shelby Dodges

The downside to the FWD Shelby Dodges (all 80's FWD Dodge, really), is that they break a lot (ahem, A LOT).

Usually it's either the electronics, including the computer, or the transmission.

I never made it a month straight in my 86 CS Daytona.
One of my friends has a GLHS, and it's pretty much the same story.
My brother had a Shelby Charger---same story there too.

If you have a backup for your commutes (and a car doly), you'll be in much better shape.

I was always chasing either a bad wire connection, or a vacuum leak, and went through two shift forks (1-3, IIRC).

The GLHS seems to like to eat computers, and routinely runs on 3 or even 2 cylinders.

My brother was always repairing the shifter linkage, which I hear is extremely common.

On the positive side, they are fast as hell, and get decent mileage, especially so for the Charger/Omni, even by today's standards.
