You Need This: A 660-Horsepower Eagle Talon

You may recognize this 1993 Eagle Talon from the pages of our magazine. It competed in our $2015 Challenge as an exhibition entry. Now it’s being sold by forum member NordicSaab for $6200. Oh, and did we mention it cranks out 660 all-wheel horsepower under a whopping 42 psi of boost?

The car only ran in exhibition. It was not under the $2000 budget.

How much would you pay for 660 horsepower?

And if it had been under $2015, that's still only the cost of the parts. Buy a 1g DSM for $1k (if you're really lucky) and ask your local speed shop to bring it up to 660WHP for $5,200 including parts and labor. Give me a call next week when they stop laughing at you.

With the DSM's, it can be done for less but this car has quite a few nice bits. Justin built the car himself, so if you want to know ANYTHING about it you can get a solid answer from him.

It's a damn good thing I don't have $6200 to burn right now. 600 hp is nice, but an awd Talon with 600 hp is even better. Jeez, I'd probably hurt myself.
