Yahoo Autos View Photos of the 1983 Dodge Shelby Charger
Carroll Shelby, heretofore known for building V-8 muscle cars and two-seat racers, is back in business with Lee Iacocca. This time he's working his magic on a much more attainable machine: the front-drive, four-cylinder Dodge Charger.
With an as-tested price of $8775, the 1983 Dodge Shelby Charger is all about bang for the buck.
Shelby figures there's another 25 horsepower to be found in the 2.2-liter four, even without turbocharging. As it stands, the mill makes 107 horsepower.
The Shelby Charger loves corners, generating 0.80 g on the skidpad.
The Shelby is EPA rated at 28 mpg city. Under our care, if you can call it that, we saw 22 mpg.
Hey, not bad for a K-car.
The Charger's rear deck spoiler may or may not have an influence at the top speed of 117 mph, but it looks the part.
The Shelby Charger's seats hold you in place mainly via friction rather than any useful bolsters.
