I remember seeing these things on the road back in the 80s . I also remembered that Direct Connection had a supercharger kit for the 2.2 . CarCraft magazine did a test of one these Rampages equipped with this kit 😊
My sister had a new Turismo 2.2 5 speed like that,well the hatchback..Had the Shelby Charger ground effects package and a non turbo 2.2 H.O with 110 hp,it was quick 5 seconds to 50 mph as advertised ,high 7 to 8 flat from 0-60 mph quick for an 80's even early 90's car. Reliable car,she had 250,000 when she sold it in 1997,she kept it 12 years,I changed the timing belt every 100,000 miles and rebuilt the carburetor,.New clutch between 150,000 to 200,000 miles cant remember but reliable and they drove really good,no rattles,solid .
I owned 3 of these in the 90's..I bought and sold cars and I liked 80's Chrysler products they were reliable and sold really well in my area..Plus when you buy the same make you know the problem areas and when you look at them you can pass on the problematic ones.I did buy all makes but majority were Chrysler vehicles,like I said they sold fast here! I stuck with Chrysler as I daily drove 60's and 70's big block Chrysler cars and so I stuck with Chrysler..My 68 Charger R/T clone aka added a 440 and Rt badge on grille/charger rt on real panel also in the 90's I had a daily driver 70 Sport Satelitte 383 hp 4bbl,66 Chrysler 300 with a 440 TNT (still have the charger and 300 and oddly an 87 Shadow ES turbo coupe ..
