The 87 GLHS was very similar to the 86.
A leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob were again installed as was the numbered dash plaque and a speedometer sticker overlay which raised the numeric readout to 125 MPH.
The Charger-based 87 GLHS was slightly heavier and also more aerodynamic than the Omni-based 86 GLHS and the 87's performance figures show it: 0-60 in 6.7, an ET of 14.9 at 95mph, and a top speed of 134 MPH.

Performance was impressive, with just 6.5 s needed for 0–60 mph (97 km/h) and 14.8 s for the quarter mile (402 m) run.
Changes that were present were mainly a result of changes that Chrysler had made to the underlying Turbo I drivetrain between 1986 and 1987.

 History of Chrysler front wheel drive performance 1983-1993
During the hiatus between the '86 and '87 model runs, tooling for the original Shelby Centurion wheel (with the word 'Shelby' cast into it), as found on the Omni, had been destroyed in a factory accident and a Centurion II wheel of the same dimensions was produced for the Charger GLHS and CSX.
The 1988 Shelby CSX was introduced during the spring of 1987 and used most of the same suspension and brake upgrades as on the Lancer, but in a smaller, lighter package.
The '90 Shelby CSX was to have been powered by a Turbo III 220-plus horsepower DOHC 16V 2.2 engine codeveloped by Lotus, using the A-568 trans with a limited slip differential (sourced from Weismann, Torsen, or NPG), and a leather Recaro interior.

The inside received a clear sticker overlay on the unpegged speedometer that gave it a readout to 135 MPH and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.

 Driving Impression: 86 GLHS--Shelby's Latest Hotrod
In that time, several cars have carried the Shelby name, but the new GLH-S is the first to actually be produced by Shelby at his own facility.
By his admission, Shelby got out of the manufacturing business in 1970 because of government regulations and because "it wasn't fun anymore." Obviously, the checks from Iacocca have put the fun back in the business, and the rationale for the little front-drive cars seem to be varied.
In back-to-back tests on the racetrack, it was difficult to believe the stock GLH and Shelby GLH-S are basically the same chassis except for these two changes.

Also, further research shows that because of when this car was actually built, and because of certain details, that this car was the actual vehicle used in the dealership brochures and press releases.

Shelby added an intercooler; different turbo, computer, intake manifold, injectors, and throttle body making it the 175hp Turbo II; Formula Monroe GP shocks and some springs; fancy wheels, interior cloth and some other look-good stuff.

Shelby would later sell the 1989 CSX (red) with variable-nozzle turbos, 1989 Dodge Dakotas with a V-8 stuffed into them long before other manufacturers were using V-8s in their small pickups, and ended their run with the Shelby Can-Am production (anyone know where one of those is any more?

In 1984 Dodge produced a version with their own motor that was modified to put out 110 hp, had larger brakes and better suspension.

The 1985 and 1986 Omni GLHs were available with either the 110-bhp high-output engine or a 146-bhp turbo 2.2-liter engine, which created a power rocket waiting to fly off the road.
The Omni GLHS started in 1986 based on a 4-door model and had a modified Garrett Turbo I engine, a long-runner tuned intake (2 piece) manifold, and of course an intercooler.
These sporty derivatives were light-weight contenders which, due to their light weight, packed a punch as heavy as the Neon's from 0 to 60 (with a five-speed).

Four months ago, there was a South Dakota "Shelby" title for it but when the car came to MN.
When I brought my GLHs here from Cali, I attempted to get the title changed from Dodge to Shelby (it was formerly titled as a Dodge vehicle).
