I love that car as well , it can be seen at www.thewraithcar.com The fella is restoring one of the movie cars and has plenty of info on the car. The dvd can be had from Platinum disc corporation P.O. Box2798 LaCrosse, WI. 54602-2798. Hope this helps my fello nut cases PV.

 

Those 2.2's are well built bullet proof engines. I remember the Chrysler TC Maserati's using a turbo 2.2 engine with lotus 4 valve heads putting out 225 HP.

I would love to see Chrsyler bring back the 2.2's as a replacement to the 2.4's but doubt that will happen as the 2.4 is part of the world engines made for multiple automakers. But maybe Dodge may make a new line of small sports cars using purely dodge mechanics and technology and stick in that 2.2!

 

I am a 2.2 nut as well , I have killed many Dodges but never ths engine. I have a Daytona 2.2 turbo 2 and I love this motor, but the Shelby has fallen to pieces(what a shame) I would love to build an Wraith car of my own . Dare to dream. PV.

 

From what I understood, the current 2.0L/2.4L DOHCs were supposed to be based off of the 2.2/2.5L SOHC with Mitsubishi heads. I agree that I would like to see the replacement for the 2.4L be a 100% Chrysler design (not Mitsubishi or Hyndaui). Here is what I would make if I was in charge. Take this engine http://www.valiant.org/ausval.html and chop off two cylinders just like they did with the 5.2L (318) and 4.7L SOHC, add dual spark plugs per cylinder to meet emission standards, fuel inject it, and start putting it in the car line up.

 

I've never seen that car before, very interesting. It looks wicked cool too!
