Heh... I test drove the Omni GLHS Turbo when it came out.
Websters really needs a pic of that car next to the word “Abrupt.”
Awesome little ‘econobox’ though. RIP Carrol.
You know what GLH stands for, right? “Goes like hell”, and “GLHS”? “Goes like hell somemore”, LOL.
Ah yes. I dreamed of having a GLHS :) Still I have this wicked idea of grabbing one out of a junkyard and turning it into one...
There were kits in the early 90’s where supposedly you get could squeeze 500hp out of the 2.2L. Never saw one myself, but I have since read about that drag car, “Relentless”. A reliant-K with its interior stripped out, and gobs of turbocharging. The guy would just run one motor till it blew, then go junkyard shopping for a “new” 2.2L to drop in... car was seriously fast, and intimidating too. It can be seen on youtube, I think. And some of those videos showed it running 8’s, killing serious supras :)
