What's up guys. I don't know if any of you have ever seen this movie but it's a cool movie back from the 80's about this ghost car. For those of you have seen it you might find it kind of cool to know that the car is being restored by someone in Kansas. I found the specs of the car in a forum and the car had a 2.2 liter engine with two T25 turbos which put out 400hp and 300 lbs of torque. The paint job on the car alone cost $30,000. And you have to remember this was back in the 80's so that was a whole lot of money for a paint job back then. Here are the links.

YEah that was a good movie just too simple of a plot. Back when Sheen was a nobody actor.

Also if you watch the movie there are a Daytona that was supposedly builtup by the character and streetraced.

'98 Talon...gone, but not forgotten

I just bought that DVD a week ago out of the $5 bin..lol Me and my bro used to watch it all the time back in the day. Stupid 80's movie but a few decent cars...

I edited to the wiki!

Wow, that is incredible! I've had that movie for a few years now on Dvd and we watched it a few times.

If you read the history on that car, it was to be an actual production model super sports car back in the day. The movie was to headline it and stun the world. However, it was too expensive to build and Dodge/Chrysler scrapped the entire project off the line in Detroit.

I loved that movie and it's history of the car.


Good stuff!

If that car would have gone into production it would have been way ahead of it's time. I thought it was funny that the car in the movie with the supercharger sticking out through the hood actually had a non-functioning supercharger. I guess that's like these guys today who install intercoolers on cars with no turbo's.

Or when they do car movies today and talk about turbo's and use bov effects and when they pop the hood spilner really has a hedder and intake right?

Awesome. I went from Wichita to Arizona and the Wraith went the other way shortly there after. Stupid the Wraith.

400hp with just twin Garrett T25's? I wonder if he'll upgrade them.

very cool info... 400 hp 4 cyl turbo, is this the begining of dsm?

Mods: New spark Plugs NGK, Fresh ATF, K&N, AGX, UDP and ZipTies tieing the strut towers (according to BlackMagic increases my torsional rigidity)
I know spark plugs are not a mod but the car runs so smooth now.

I remember renting that movie shortly after it came out, first time round (thats VHS for you young-uns).

It sure wasn't a great movie by any measure, but at the time I liked it. Course, I used to think Airwolf was cool too...

Have to say though, the Buick Wildcat concept car of the same vintage was better lookin, IMO.
