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-***! 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 *** (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 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.

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).
