      It's not so much the number of cylinders, it's the displacement and RPM. It comes in at 200 hp per liter. At the time, that was pretty good. Although, it's now obsolete. Even my Kawasaki ZX-6R makes 204 hp per liter naturally aspirated (636 CC at 15,000 rpm with 130 hp). No turbocharger required and just 91 octane.

      In the movie they did speed up the frames to give the appearance that the car was going faster than what it was. This was very common in movies back then, particularly low budget ones. So yeah the car was real but multiple scenes in the movie the car was not going as fast as it may look.

    WOW! This was so nice to see!!! Bob would love this!!! I was a designer at Chrysler for 11 years. Bob was my first design manager in the studio in Highland Park for 3 years before we moved to Auburn Hills. He showed me this car and some of the development as the car was completed. What doesn't come across in the photos is how stunning the root beer colored paint is on the car and how generous the curves really are. These were the last of the themes before we got into the LH cab-forward cars and after the K-cars. Bob was an absolutely terrific guy, awesome car designer and very much a car guy through and through. I designed the exterior to the first generation Neon with Bob as my manager. I couldn't ask for a more terrific guy to work with. You should seek out his son Dean who could probably add to more info. I saw Bob about 4 years ago at a friends funeral. Another awesome designer, Michael Burton (look him up too!). Bob was having a lot of health issues but was still his same vibrant self. It was so nice to catch up with him. Thanks again for showing this.

In 2009, i had the opportunity to do a scene with David Sherrill (Skank) in In/Significant others. I hollered "Skank!" at him from across the floor, and everyone went silent, thinking I had just insulted their star, LOL. You can imagine how relieved they all were, when he hollered "Yeah! Man, I haven't heard that one in a LONG time!" back at me. We shook hands and started talking. We suddenly realized that everyone was just standing there and watching us, thinking we were old friends, LOL. Really nice guy.

    I was 16 years old when that came out. I loved that movie. I even watched it a couple of weeks ago as it is here on RUclips for free! The Wraith/Turbo Interceptor inspired a different Dodge creation that no one really knows about. A few a blocks from my house in the Indian Hills neighborhood of Hopkinsville, KY there was a guy really into late 60s and early 70s muscle cars. There was one car from the 1980S he liked the styling of but not the complete package. The 1996 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z. The factory car was front wheel drive, 2.0 L Turbo with double overhead cans. The cars total output at the crank was like 160HP. The interior had a lot of plastic parts that would get brittle over the years and break. The seats ripped quickly, the headliner fell after just 6 mo.
    Well this guy loved the looks of the 1st generation Daytina Turbo Z but hated everything else. I'm not sure who he knew for pulling what strings but he managed to get an 87 Daytona Turbo Z complete body but with a transmission hump, drive shaft channel, and the rear shaped out for a rear axle. He built it with a 340ci block, alloy heads and a 6pack of 2brl carbs custom drive shaft. Customers drive linkages as well as A arms. I was crazy fast when he was done as it should hive been putting 350hp to 380 to the ground

    Little note to the "twin over head cams". Normaly its called DOHC Double OverHead Camshaft.
    And for the people they like crazy cars with massiv wings should look into "Zakspeed Capri group 5".
    This beast was first raced 1980 with a 1,7 Liter Turbo 600hp engine.
    The predecessor had an 1,4 Liter Turbo with 460hp.
    And on the Japan side of things there where the silhouette formula.
    To be honest the Dodge M4S Turbo was pretty late to the party.

      Cheers for the extra info. When it comes to movies and cars, I am somewhat balanced (or at least try to be) I know there are people out there that know a way lot more than me about a particular engine or car and sometimes, if I try to be too much of a try hard and get very technical where I can't fully confirm something or it changes from model to model, I try to keep it in check. I have seen the DOHC label before, though not fully aware of what its all about I must admit. I do agree I think that the US got into the 4 Cylinder game late and did not reach its full potential sooner. Ackerman had mentioned, though others were happy with his 198.4 MPH speed he got, he knew it could have made 220 had they put more time into it.
