One of the earliest of those was the GLH, which stood for Goes Like Hell. These lifted all the suspension and engine mods that Shelby put on the Omni-based Charger and put them on the Omni itself, creating a domestic challenger to VW’s then king of the hot hatch, the GTI.
The GLHS is a modded GLH. The appended “S” stands for ’S-more, and indicates that it’s got a few additional tricks up its sleeve. The most notable of those was the turbocharged and intercooled 2.2-litre four, which melded external bits from Chrysler’s Turbo II engine with the internal parts from the Turbo I. Despite the lack of the Turbo II’s forged crank, fatter connecting rods and other mods, the Shelby-built engines have proven over the years to be reasonably stout.
This 1986 GLHS is claimed to have a low-milage rebuilt mill, so it might just put out the 175-bhp and 175 lb-ft of torque Shelby’s factory claimed when new. Those ponies make their way to the front wheels through an A525 five-speed manual, just like God and Carroll liked it.

11.5K? Maybe as a historical piece, given these were actually Shelby automobiles, not Dodges, legally speaking. The base car was produced by Dodge, but Shelby Autmobiles was the manufacturer, assembled at shebls facility.
