Yeah, Ive had a “crush” on GM’s Turbo regals, and the GMC turbo 4.3’s. I know GM slipped out a few other turbo cars that weren’t too popular like the turbo GP (kinda sucked since it had a really small turbo), the turbo chevette I think or something similiar. OH! I have ~somewhere~ the old (mid90’s) Hot Rod mag that had some of GM’s “private shoebox” cars. There was a urbocharged beretta that had a stroked 3.1 and made 400hp, a AWD beretta…cool read.
…and now I got my supercharged grand prix.
