Omni

The Dodge Omni GLH features Carroll Shelby modifications beginning with 1984 model 2.2-liter high-output inline four-cylinder producing 110 horsepower, evolving to 1985-1986 GLH Turbo with turbocharged 2.2-liter generating 146 horsepower, and ultimate 1986 GLHS (Goes Like Hell Smore) limited to 500 examples with turbocharged intercooled 2.2-liter producing 175 horsepower at 5,300 rpm achieving 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds and 14.9-second quarter-mile at 93 mph trap speed with 130 mph top speed.

GLH designation created by Carroll Shelby represents American hot hatch response to Volkswagen GTI European dominance, transforming basic economy Dodge Omni platform into genuine performance vehicle capable of embarrassing contemporary sports cars costing significantly more. The GLHS variant represents peak 1980s turbo-era American hot hatch development, though limited production numbers and Chrysler K-car platform stigma prevent broader recognition of genuine performance credentials among enthusiast community, with surviving examples now valued for historical significance in American performance car evolution.
