boh I got those backwards … Is it still called Palladium drive? I haven’t been to the big K in a long time now. But I grew up in Kanata, yadda yadda … if you’re more familiar with Ottawa, my Da taught at Lisgar collegiate for many many years.
Yeah, the GLHS is an Omni … a 2.2 turbo Omni that from the factory made 225hp. Very fun very fast, ugly as sin. The Omni GLH (which they say stands for Goes Like Hell) was a turbo II, I think around 174hp … the S in GLHS means Caroll Shelby had something to do with it.
That car might still be competing for all I know … guy by the name of Andrew used to run it for all the races there, along with a good friend in a red turbo Firelfy :? named Kurt Reade. Both very cool guys, opened my eyes to the non-pushrod V8 RWD platform. If you ever saw a black 55 Chev 4 door run the autocross … I had a lot to do with that too
Heh, yeah '96 sounds about right … almost 10 years ago 
a guy in solo 1 has a GLH with about 15psi boost he says its laying down around 225whp…though it was VERY unreliable last year
Yeah, the turbo 2s were SOHC … turbo 3s DOHC.
Unreliability I’d probably guess
No LSD
5 spd gearboxes then to swallow themselves
Driveshafts unequal length (unless lucky and have the Citroens)
Head Gaskets
Fairly typical … but the GLH vs the GLHS is kinda like night and day
If he’s a friendly type (and not in direct competition with you)
tell him to get the 2.5 NA valvetain … worth a fair bit of power for cheap.
Let’s say we are at the track, you will maybe have a second or so to come to the realization that my car with it’s ‘huge’ FMIC makes about 5 psi at 2000rpm and while your stock SR only pushes out about 6 psi total. Even at a mild 10-12 psi the difference is stagering. Full boost is found near 3000rpm and the car can be lapped very quickly around Nelson without shifting out of 3rd gear.
PS you would actually stand a good chance of winning that 200kph race seeing as I am still governed at 195kph
