lol, a colt was my first car, I think it was a 79 or something. Twin-stick (4x2) transmission, so it was effectively an 8-speed. Steel bumpers.......plowed down a traffic sign with no visible damage even though it weighed less than 2000 lbs.

That was very impressive right up until it fell out.

Holy crap, now that's a sleeper.

Too bad the tranny crapped out.

Speaking of Colts. Can anyone direct me to some info on them. I pulled a turbo off of one. I dont know the year, but it was a DOHC engine. The turbo is water/oil cooled which is what I wanted.

Also, who made the Colt?

COMPLETELY different car. colt is a mitsubishi through and through. the Omni was the old french simca platform given a good going through by dodge and then powered by either a shitty vw 1.6 or dodge 2.2/2.5
