Other than the tiny exhaust, the stock setup is good for high 12s at ~108 mph when pushed to the limit of its weakest link (arguably injector size).
That and the transaxle. Which can be improved, but one should be aware of this going in.

I only like turbo Caravans and GLH(S) Omnis. The rest of them just don't do it for me. I know its essentially the same formula but whatever. There is also a pristine CSX red on gold that a guy DD's in the summer in Anchorage.bentwrench wrote: Because bigger is better, SRT swap it!Thats too good of a glhs at this point to cut it up for a swap. Regular omni, basket case glh, sure. These things will be worth dough some day. Mopar guys only get weirder as time goes on.
Yeah, that CSX in Anchorage is Will and he's an odd duck with about 5 of them spread around the country. Some in museums of some sort or just storage.
I wanted a GLH, ended up with a Mirage Turbo instead. Still kind of want the GLH.

Anybody crazy enough to have a clean Shelby CSX in Alaska probably is crazy enough to have 5 of them.

I love turbo Mirages, I just always wished they had a 2.0 and AWD. That can be swapped but with a Gvr-4 already being that thing, I just went with those.

Yeah, he's an engineer for one of the oil companies and he's an interesting guy. He was part of the local Shelby-Dodge club I helped start.
If that's the same guy who had a bunch in a museum in Texas, i worked on several of them getting them running so they could go on a transporter to Arizona iirc.
The talks have commenced. The seller is hundreds of miles away with a sometimes sketchy snow covered mountain pass in between so we both are taking our time to try to meet up maybe not until after the holidays even. It's in storage and I think a lot of folks are interested but not THAT interested. It sounds like it was rebuilt but has mostly sat after completion with other non essential things needing to be complete. I'd want to DD this thing breifly for my Short commute until I get another work truck and so I'd have to make sure it's a reliable runner (for a 30 year old turbo dodge.)
It's not going to be reliable right off the bat, but they aren't overly complicated cars. There's literally nothing on them that i've scared of anymore. Although, you being in a traction-limited geographical area, just be aware that too much one wheel tire spin will eventually send the diff pin through the case and frag the transmission, at which point you're probably paying out the ass to ship a known-weak design up to AK or paying to ship a better trans and then adapting it in when it gets there.
