I'd also have to agree that $3500 is alittle steep, but its really b/c he likes the car a lot and isn't going to get rid of it unless he's going to get a lot out of it.. But honestly, its the first turbo Omni I've ever seen and one of two that I've seen now, and one wasn't a real GLH-T, it was an 87' with a turbo1 motor swapped in it ( Owner's name is Lee ).

To be honest, I think for some reason Mike was "sandbagging" the Omni at the TR event. I saw one time it ran 14.2@67mph !!!! He's claim of blowing an IC pipe off also doesn't hold weight with me b/c Jordon hits 19psi in it everyday and hasn't had a pipe blow off ONE TIME yet. I thought he was sandbagging the car b/c it didn't have a roll-cage or b/c he didn't have a helemt ( roll cage is a little far, but still ). It was also on slicks at the TR event. For whatever reason, I'm glad Mike sold it to Jordon, its a sweet little Omni, and sandbagging or not, I know its pretty quick ( I'd say 12.9 with slicks and 25psi and race gas ).
