When it comes to FWD Daytonas, flip-up headlights or not?

If the Chrysler K Platform is like a leather vest, then the G Platform–which underpins the Chrysler Laser and this car for sale, the Dodge Daytona–is what you get when you add leather sleeves to that vest: A (somewhat) cooler leather jacket.
One of 250 produced for 1992, this Dodge Daytona IROC stands in near-perfect factory condition with only 3436 miles.
Boasting original paint, interior and even tires, this Daytona sports the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and Customer Preferred Group 23B package: Air conditioning, heated power mirrors, cruise control and speed-activated power locks.
Find this 1992 Dodge Daytona IROC for auction by Mecum on January 11.
When it comes to FWD Daytonas, flip-up headlights or not?
Those seats look PLUSH.
I think the headlights on this Daytona are fitting for the early '90s, though it's hard to turn down flip-up headlights.
I'd love a sporty Mopar. Wish Stellantis would remember cars like this.
This car looks deeply concerned about something. Those headlights just look kind of derpy.
In reply to NickD :
Yeah, a bit derpy. But also more or less inline with the rest of the brand’s period offerings.
One of my friends dad had one, don't remember what year. He let us take it out one time.
I think they were rated at 230 hp at the time, but they sure felt quicker than that to a couple of 17-year olds.
And 230 horsepower was rather healthy in 1992.
(A stock 1992 Mustang GT made 205 horsepower although 275 lb.-ft. of torque.)
Did some of these come with the DOHC turbo? Or was that the Spirit RT?
