Ahhhh the good old days... I remember the GLHs... along with the 323 GTX, GTI, SVO and all the rest of the econo rockets.



These cars were bad-ass! They were pocket import performance before there ever was such a thing as a rice-boy. Respect your elders boys... they might just spank your ass (http://www.thedodgegarage.com/friends_dan_c.html)! :smirk:

I'd love to have a 323 GTX, but the Omni is a fuggin' ugly beast. Fugly, as I've heard it said.

I got rearended by an Omni in my 86 GXL. My car faired much better than the Omni did however.

SVO's were not cheap though...



dont forget about the VR4 Galants back in the early 90's either!

well an omni is a golf a2 and i like golfs but they only had vw motors for like the first year or so than they swithced to a mitsu motor...im guessing that is what the turbocharged one is???

I know someone who has 2 of the fuggers, you can pick them up for like $500 any day of the week.

Fast almost makes up for ugly. One of life's great joys is smokin' some high-dollar yuppiemobile with a beater. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

No, not that kind of ugly. My buddy has one of the bread-and-butter plain Omni's from the same era, and its just plain awful. It might be fun to have a GLH, but I'd have to wear a ski mask while driving it, so people wouldn't recognize me.

They may be ugly, but there is a guy (a team really) that has one near me. He auto-x's it a lot and he is usually faster than the RX-Midget. He is a very good driver and runs full slicks (I'm on DOT's), but the car deserves respect! I think he finished 2nd at the last Grasroots Motorsports $2002 challenge (drag, auto-x, and show).
