1990 AWD Eagle Talon Race Car Images

[talon1189]

Welp.........here are 3 images of my '90 Talon AWD race car images. I bought the car brand new in August 1989........The body has 58,000 original miles on the body I just had the long block and transmission freshly rebuilt 2 months ago by well known professionals in Ohio........The car at release was dynoed at 624 wheel horsepower and 559 pound feet of torque out of a 2.0 litre 4 banger..........I had the car built for high 9's in the quarter mile I have had the car at the dragstrip 2 times before.......and went home both times with minor "bugs" that cost me a real first run with problems. My car will be up and ready to go to the dragstrip for a Test and Tune for October the 27th.......and I expect nothing less than 10.50 for my real first time out if the "bugs" are out......... LOL! I will post a few more images in a few days This car is my wife.........cuz........I cannot afford both at the same time.......LOL!

Daayuum you are sharp Space ...... back in the early 90's ....... The Eclipse...... Talon .......and Laser were the same basically......... a few body exterior changes were the only differences...........the same turbocharged drivetrains were offered

WOW!

Sweet car talon. I love seeing those cars leave the line at 6K and not spin, man what a rush.

It's also nice to see a car built right too!!! I would hate to meet you at a stoplight in my Camaro

Very nice setup! Back a few years ago when we raced on Telegraph, Grand River (in Detroit, east of Telegraph), Outer Dr. (Detroit/Dearborn), and in the straight-up 'hood with the guys who trailered their cars in, there were some surprisingly fast AWD Talons. The ability to put power to the ground with 4 wheels instead of 2 seems to help a lot!

We also used to race on the service roads just inside the fences at Willow Run airport, back pre-9/11 when you could drive your cars onto the airport property without raising eyebrows. Heck, we actually raced on the darned runways a few times, though that did raise concern pretty quickly...

Maybe yes..........What ya got? :greenchainsaw:

Just a plain jain mustang or 4..... :hmm3grin2orange:

Seems as though I need a new block. I guess too much blower is bad for a stock block......lol
