🔥 THE FORGOTTEN TURBOCHARGED MOPAR OF THE 1980s! 🔥

Long before turbocharged performance became mainstream, Chrysler had a rear-wheel-drive sports coupe sitting in its showrooms that could hold its own against some serious competition.

Meet the Chrysler Conquest TSi, one of the most underrated performance cars of the 1980s! 🇺🇸🇯🇵

Built by Mitsubishi in Japan and sold under Chrysler’s Dodge, Plymouth, and Chrysler brands, the Conquest was essentially the American-market twin of the Mitsubishi Starion.

And while it wasn’t powered by a traditional American V8, this little turbocharged machine had plenty of attitude!

🏁 CHRYSLER CONQUEST: 1984–1989

The Conquest combined rear-wheel drive, turbocharged power, available five-speed manual transmission, and aggressive styling that looked like nothing else in a Chrysler showroom.

The real magic arrived with the widebody TSi models, featuring massive flared fenders, wider wheels, an intercooler, and a stance that still looks incredible today.

⚙️ WIDEBODY TSi PERFORMANCE SPECS

🔧 Engine: 2.6L turbocharged SOHC inline-four (G54B)

💨 Horsepower: Up to 188 HP

🔥 Torque: Up to 234 lb-ft

⚙️ Transmission: 5-speed manual or optional 4-speed automatic

🏎️ Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive

🚀 0–60 MPH: Approximately 7–8 seconds, depending on model and testing

🏁 Quarter-mile: Approximately mid-to-high 15-second range

🛞 Suspension: Four-wheel independent suspension

🛑 Brakes: Four-wheel disc brakes

For a turbocharged four-cylinder from the 1980s, those were respectable numbers!

And don’t forget, the Mitsubishi Starion platform had a legitimate motorsports history, competing in endurance racing and other international events.

But here’s what makes the Conquest even more interesting…

Despite its aggressive styling and impressive performance, it never achieved the legendary status of cars like the Buick Grand National, Fox-body Mustang, or third-generation Camaro. There was approximately 28,000 Conquest produced over its lifespan.

Today, clean examples are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially unmodified widebody TSi models.

The Conquest wasn’t your typical Mopar muscle car. It was a Japanese-built, American-badged turbocharged sports coupe that proved Chrysler wasn’t afraid to try something different.

💬 LET’S HEAR FROM THE CAR COMMUNITY!

Would you put a Chrysler Conquest TSi in your garage today, or would you rather have a Buick Grand National, Mustang GT, or Camaro IROC-Z?

And more importantly, how many of you actually remember seeing these cars on the street back in the 1980s? 👇

🚗 2 out of 3 drivers don’t trust auto repair shops—and stories like this are exactly why.

My wife recently took her 2018 Honda Odyssey to the local Honda Dealer, it was overheating when idle for an extended period of time and I was out of town. She was told it needed $800 in brand-new cooling fans, ones I had just replaced myself 3 months earlier…. The actual fix? A simple $10 relay. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I just had to change my daughters 2022 VW Passat lower ball joints because 1 was loose and her alignment was off bad! We just bought the car a few months ago. Well once I get into it come to find out the previous mechanic installed the right side ball joint on the driver side and the left side one on the passenger side! 🤦🏻‍♂️

According to a recent consumer study by AAA, 66% of U.S. motorists share this skepticism. The biggest fears in the industry are getting hit with unnecessary services (76%) and overcharging (73%).

Do you have a trusted repair shop or just simply do all your own work? Have any stories to share? Let’s hear about it in the comments! ⬇️
