Turbo cars other than TR's

Hey I've got my 87 GN and i wanted to get another turbo car. Anybody know of any other factory turbo cars by american car makers? I do know of the SVO Mustang and the Ford Turbo Thunderbird, but wanted to know what else is out there. Well I do know of some turbo imports to many to list. Thanks Nic.

New Chevy Cobalt SS is turbocharged. SRT 4 Caliber and Neon are aswell. I believe the Pontiac Solstice GXP model and a model of the Saturn SKY are too. Dodge Omni, Duster, Daytona, Shelby, Laser, Conquest, Stealth. Most of them are just rebadged Mitsubishi's. Syclone and Typhoon trucks. Plenty of options out there.

But they are still nice turbo cars that can be used as a daily driver's. Not American but food for thought.

The turbo TA 81' model is a trickey set up. Non intercooled with a blow-through carb. Had cool 4 wheel disks though. They were VERY often damaged down here in the south with the heat. Jon Hanson
There was a guy in my high school that had an 86' SVO with a Esslinger built 4pot and man I used to love watching him do rolling burnouts from about 30mph.
