That's determination, JEdmund. A high school buddy, decades ago, worked after school to save money to buy a two year-old '69 440 Charger. After he had acquired the car he really worked it over into something special. When he got his driver's license in '72 everything was ready to go. We could hear his Charger when he was still two or three miles from school. My friend's determination made the rest of us look like we were sleepwalking through life.

My dad bought a cheap as hell Dynasty from his company's fleet cars when he was worried he might have to look for new work (got transferred instead of fired, so all good). It had the same three liter engine as the Daytona in this article and in truth that was a very nice plant. Smooth and with enough torque to get out of its own way, all in a surprisingly comfortable car that didn't make any attempts to be any more than a basic sedan. That engine would have been more fun in a smaller manual equipped car like the Daytona.

Not what I’d call super reliable really and not as easy to modify as a mustang or Camaro and of course it’s FWD so not quite as cool either but it was cheap fun

My dad bought an 85 Daytona Turbo 5 speed new. By 90-91 he was looking for a blk on grey V6 5 speed to replace it but couldn't find 1! All the dealers had were 4 speed auto slush boxes. The 85 was not a good car by any means. In late 91, a savvy salesman talked dad into special ordering a 92 Daytona Shelby Iroc 2.5 turbo 5 speed, which as optioned was nearly 17k. My mother threw a fit! But I'll tell ya, that car was near trouble free! The radio went out. That was his only repair outside of normal maintenance. And that car ran like a top. It was quick, torquey, and delivered 24 city, 42 highway at 70 w the cruise on and a/c off. The Shelby brakes were great even w/o ABS, and its handling was tight, surprising. You really had to get silly with it to get in trouble. He sold it in 2002 for a steal to a guy who knew that Shelby cars were collectables. He bought a Durango SLT 5.9 4x4 as was the trend.. nearly 40k.. You should've seen the heart attack my mom had then! lol

@bryankerbow7871
@bryankerbow7871 5 лет назад
Agreed sir. The 90 model year was the height of the design for the Daytona. I have owned 7 of them and only one was a 1990. The interior of the 1990 was miles above and beyond in comfort and style. The wrap around dash that surrounded you and the easy reach buttons on the dash and the overstuffed seats that seemed to swallow you and make you feel safe and cozy. Go back in time just one model year and it is a totally different car on the inside. It seemed sparse and basic even with all the power options. It wasnt a very inviting interior before 1990. The only change i disagreed with on the daytona was the discontinuation of the iconic pop up headlights in favor of the wrap around lights. Call me bias but the pop up headlights were a major component in the attitude and personality of the car. To me turning on the lights and seeing the lights pop up was like the car "waking up" and saying "Move bitch, get out the way!"

Which is about what the original sticker said on the window. Thats how original it was. It still had the window sticker on it.

I used to see these everywhere when I was a teenager in IL. I thought they looked like good cars and would have been happy to own one. When I moved to CA they disappeared. There was a striking difference in the brand preferences between the midwest and California back then. I prefer RWD, but overall this review sells me on the car. The stuff they complained about is stuff I'd be happy with. I lived in a region of twisty hilly roads for 22 years so having a tactile mechanical feel to driving is all part of the fun. People who don't want that probably wouldn't be buying a car like this in the first place. Never had ABS in my life and the stopping distance looks good to me. I hate the sterile airbag interior though, it looks like a minivan inside. I'd probably like an older model better. I didn't know they had this V6 option. I only knew them to have the 2.2L turbo, an engine my dad had in his LeBaron back then. That was a strong engine when it spooled up but it sure was laggy.

Note to MW. The Daytona got it's first revision in 1987 to the body style seen here. The original Chrysler Laser/Dodge Daytona was birthed in 1984. Three years is not getting "old" or dated IMHO. Mind you, it was during this time when German automakers were carrying platforms for as long as 10 to 12 years per generation before they succumbed to the madness of the 4-year life cycle for platforms. Most automakers worldwide had no problem going with these cars with minor updates for 6 to 10 years before a generational switch. Even America did at ONE time back in the 1960s and early '70s. Then some genius somewhere in America's marketing industry thought that a good way to make money out of something that primarily is (to borrow from the Japanese) an appliance meant to transport somebody from point A to B quickly and independently could be transformed into a consumable that would keep American's discontent and in debt trying to soothe our restless tendency towards boredom by changing these cars radically every 4 years. The end result worked wonders for automaker's coffers, but only for the next 35 years. Now, so many Americans (and now even the planet) are so in debt, paying not for one car, they're paying for the last two or even three cars due to being "upside-down" in their loans, they can't afford another car. Even if the one they have is begging for retirement now. And this is with all the help we can give them: 0 to 5.9% interest rates over up to 72-month terms. Some even are pushing 84-month loans now. Works to keep payments tolerable, but you pay for it with the drawn out principle payments against your already drawn out past loans (which is why you're upside down in the first place.) What do you think will happen to this car over the 7 years you're paying it off PLUS the last two cars you never paid off that got carried over into this loan? We in this country have got to get a grip on this behavior before it destroys us. Not holding my breath though, considering what I've seen now with I-phone sales over the past 10 years....

Would be fun to equip this with new rubber today. I liked these Daytonas. The Leaky valve cover gasket 3.0 Mitsu V6 is annoying, but otherwise it is a good mill. The 5 speed sounds about right. A Getrag if memory serves. If it is not totally rusted out, it could be fun run about. The Celica is probably a better buy and the Nissan 240SX that will be more fun too with the same there abouts power from its 4 cylinder, but 30mpg on that V6 is excellent. So an oldie, it might still be kind of fun but know it is going to need everything being this old.

"So many 2-door sport coupes offered from Chrysler during this time period. Which is your favorite?" Chrysler Conquest especially the final 190HP version, followed closely by the 225HP Dodge Daytona IROC R/T that could run through the 1/4 in 14 flat. That was blazing fast back then.

This is a great copy of this review. The video quality seems above average . As far as this car goes, it definitely does look dated compared to its competition, yet this design carried through the 1993 model year with some minor front fascia changes. Funny how they thought the revolutionary styling of the 1990 Celica looked "strange" when it was basically a trend setter for styling throughout the 90's.

I had that 3.0 in a Voyager van and it moved it pretty good. I'm sure this lighter Daytona was fun back then. Also GM F body cars used the same frame for 10 years, this car didn't look dated at all in 1990. Looks good today.

Ohh, that 3.0. I raced many a square body 305 chevy truck and made some owners very upset. Hahaha. It was my dad's acclaim yet. My dad worked at the local Chrysler dealer from the late 70s to about 10 years ago. Being a child of the early 80s I always remember these cars. Shadows, Sundance, Daytona. All the turbo iterations, 3.0 Mitsubishi v6. Dakota sport roofs, eagle talons, stealths. The first viper they got in.

If you drive a Mercedes...you are not thinking about a Dodge Daytona ever...I dunno why Motorweek thinks these would compete with a Benz.. These were made for younger buyers or older buyers wanting a sporty coupe. Now 30 years old, this 1990 ES totally looks as good as ANY JDM counterpart. RX7, 300SX, Supra, Celica, Mitsubishi , etc... The pop up headlights, hatchback, long front and winged deck spoiler. In good shape, this would catch some looks at a car meet today!!
