I bought in 1998 and still own it today. Ridiculously fast and smoked everything back then. Timing belt broke and Dodge dealer replaced with no engine damage! 91 with 91k on it now. I love it!!!

Spirit R/T competition

I had a red 92, with the higher Speedo. Sold it on back in 2013. Quick car. Fastest sports sedan in the planet (factory) 91-92.

I had a 91 Spirit RT and it was faster than any hot rod my friends had. New Z28 Camaros whatever. F body Trans Ams and Fox Body Mustangs were a joke, Let clutch out easy build boost sling past anyone by the other side of the intersection. Drop the clutch and go through 4 gears and lose. Car threw timing belt off did not blow up. Dealer fixed and I sold it. Good times for about a year.

We had onecwhen new, I use to drive it a lot in high school...if it could get traction in first those numbers would be even faster...front tires would lose grip by 4-4500 in first if u got it to launch wout bogging it....from a second roll it would pull a stock brand new Fox body mustang w a 5 speed and it would beat automatics hands down short shifting to 2nd...tunes port camaros were no match, sho Taurus no match...they were damn fast cars....they would run w a stock spec 375 horse 440 B body....high 13 sec car with a sticky set of front tires n a low 5 sec 0-60.....ours spent a lot of time at the dealership w timing set issues...Chrysler sent a guy down to work on 4 RT cars n train the mechanic at our local dealership and when we got the car back it was noticeably faster n we had to run 93 or it would get detonation ....funnest car I ever drove because of the sleeper aspect
