The Wraith

[85stang]

Anybody here remember that movie. I cuaght the last 30 minutes of it this morning on showtime. It had been so long since I saw it, I forget Charlie Sheen was in it.

[BetterDays]

Interesting movie, huh?

[Zap's 85 GT]

I bought the DVD. I found it in WalMart's $5 bin. Mildly entertaining. The Car was some Chrysler product.

[mfpmax]

Yup, got myself that Wal-Mart DVD too.

Dodge Interceptor Concept, 2.2L DOHC Twin Turbo.
Spent most of its life as a Pace car.

[frankiesaysrelax]

wow, I saw that movie a LONG time ago, on network TV LOL

[Mumfts85gt]

I remember that movie from when it was on HBO or Cinemax several times a week for quite some time. I guess I'll have to go and find it at Wally World.

My absolute favorite 'B' movie!! 80's cult film culture at its finest!!

[anthonydalrymple]

Wasn't that the movie involving a guy whom died, returns from the dead wreaking havoc by driving some kind of indestructable car through buildings that blow to smitherines?

[Evil86lx]

My favorite part is when they are discussing how the blown vette could barely out run the Daytona turbo Z.

That movie started my addiction to the fwd turbo dodge's.

I SO WANT a 87 shelby charger with the turbo 2 motor/tran's.

That is one of my fiance's all time favorite movies. That and "Corvette Summer"

[85_Capri_4v]

I liked that movie and I will have to see if it is in the 5.50 bin.

Another one of my favorite movies is Hot Rod, aka Rebel of the Road. I found it on DVD over eBay.

Oh there is a couple more I am looking for....

Heart Like a Wheel

Fastlane Fever

Just to name 2.

Capri

[Philly5.0girl]

Capri, check half.com they always have obsure stuff.

I almost forgot, the original "Catch me if you can" the one with the twin cities race.

[Hooptie]

Charlie Sheen was what? 17 in that movie?

I wanted to grab that, but the GF got to pick that night.

[85_Capri_4v]

Hooptie the Enchanter, you should have summoned both fire and smoke and told her to pick next time :roll:

JAMIE!

that was some awesome acting. This was some of Randy Quad's best work, with best supporting actors Gutterboy and Skank.

F3@R the turbo interceptor!!

Wasn't a B movie, it was an 80s movie, quite similar though. ;)

I've built numerous TD cars. My favorite second to Mustangs!! I've got a '90 ES Turbo Daytona sitting at my house right now with a MP big valve head, Enforcer 3 cam, and some other mods. I had it down to 11.98 1/4 at one point, but sold it to mom to get a Supra. I got it back, but it's nowhere near as fast(took most of the good stuff off before sale).

I thought it was one of those made for TV only movies?

[mfpmax]

Nah, they dont' show those movies on HBO.

And if you didn't notice people, this movie clearly was backed by Chrysler since 90% of the cop cars are Dodges...most being turbo.

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

LOVED this movie. You can actually buy Wraith kit cars. Most of the engine was very similar to the turbo Daytona if memory serves me correct. It was a damn fast car for sure.

I'd do just about anything to get a set of those wheels on my coupe.....i LOVE that wheel style, and those deep dish in the back are badass!

I see you don't know is the head of the relatiobship.

Where from. Last I heard you could, but the website I have, has yet to be updated and the last Turbododge.com thread I read said the same. In fact the site I posted the guy was also working on seeing if they could make reproduction kit cars from his.

[Sportrods]

There is currently no company offering a kit version, but there are a few companies working on kit cars that should be ready in the next couple of years. Also, the engine was a 2.2l 4cylinder, with a DOHC Cosworth head, and twin turbo. aside from the bottom end, the engine shares no other similarities to the production 2.2/2.5 turbo offerings.

My next project/daily drive will be a early TD. I really want a older daytona or shelby but I think I would be happier with a turbo 2 set up.

We are buying a house 50 mile's out side of town and I want a fun quick front drive daily driver.

I may even look for a plymouth laser. Take all of the badge's off and screw with everyone on the highway. :twisted:

[Dugzy33]

What about the other charlie sheen and randy quaid film with cars???


Anyone?

No mans land.

Charlie sheen stole porshesessssesess or however you spell them!

We need a best car chase movie thread!

He said "head"

[Hooptie]

[Philly5.0girl]

There's a Shelby TD at the junkyard we go to with a clean title $850 is on the car but I know the guy will take less. Car was repainted but has t-tops, black interior and is otherwise mint. If I had the cash I'd pick it up.

[Sportrods]

Daytonas were available with the TII. The 87-88 Shelby Z cars were all TII, and the 89 was available in TI or TII. If it's intercooled, it's TII(in those years factory).

[Evil86lx]

So I need to look for the intercooled car's.

Good info, much appreciated.

[Mike Croke]

I've started doing some machine work for this guy: www.turbosunleashed.com

[Evil86lx]

Sweet!.

I'm a good two year's away from purchasing one but I like to do my research way in advance.

I really think a TD would make a sweet DD.

the car in that movie from what i heard was the concept car for the dodge stealth

[mfpmax]

They dropped the ball on that one then.

[86 COUPE]

i work at a chrysler dealership and believe me, they dropped the ball with the stealth's they produced, they were real pieces of crap!

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

About those kit cars....i honestly don't know where you can find one...the last time i heard about the Wraith it was from a kit car site but i dont have the link.


If i had tons of money and could have any car, i'd probably buy a Daytona and convert it to RWD...i love the body styling of those cars.

[JohnnyGMachine]

That is one of my FAVORITE MOVIES!!! Awesome! I'd kill to find that in the 5 dollar bin at Walmart. How long ago did you find it? I'm heading there today- LOL!

I didn't know they made kits for that car - cool! I bet a buddy of mine who's built a few kit cars in his time could find out.
