Reminds me of the Turbo Aires Wagon YouTube user "Davidsfarm" built back in the day. I believe he used an old Shelby Charger engine and plopped it in there with a turbo and wastegate - all homemade. Hit a certain RPM while doing about 20 or 30, the turbo kicks on, and instant wheelspin and it takes off. Shame you can't see youtube still.

There's an epic video of a turbo K-Car smoking a MK IV Supra on a dragstrip. Probably the same one (as turbos were never offered in the Aries or Reliant).

Oh no this was in Canada he never got rid of the car, unless his cars got sold off when he got arrested. The one he had was a wagon and was kinda crappy - it hung from the ceiling in his barn for over a decade. Screenshot: i.ytimg.com/vi/ZDpP_N2uHnA/hqd…

Look up "K-Car versus Supra" on YouTube. Hopefully the video's still there. I don't think it's the same car now that I've seen the pic, but I honestly can't remember the color/body style (I think it was a sedan?) of the one I saw.

I'm really surprised any K-Cars lasted this long.
