My wife had an '87 I think Lancer that I think had a 2.2l turbo. Speedy car
although all the interior electronic gizmos in the center console just blinked
forlornely.
I embarrased some guys in a Corvette one time, I smoked them off the line
(manual trans vs auto box) and then managed to not get nabbed by officer
friendly who then took them to the pokey because of some empty beer bottles
rolling around on the floor.
That Lancer was also seriously rusted out. I was surprised every time it passed
inspection. I replaced about 4' of metal fuel line with rubber when it rusted
off. Had to go nearly all the way back to the tank.
It was my wife's first car, she didn't know you needed to look underneith
before buying. I got $80 when I junked it.

I used to play with Chrysler 2.2 liter cars & one of the cars I owned
was a
89 Lebaron Coupe GTC. The intercooled Turbo II engine was factory rated
at
174 HP. Fortunately, I live in Huntsville AL, where the "brains" were
designed and manufactured.
I knew the software guys & got a "off road only" performance engine
control
computer. The new computer plus exhaust modifications pushed the engine
to
224 HP.
