7. Dodge Spirit R/T

In 1991 Dodge took their Spirit sedan and stuffed a turbocharger under the hood, creating what was advertised as “the fastest sedan made in America.” The Spirit R/T was powered by a 16-valve DOHC turbocharged four-cylinder producing 224 horsepower and 217 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed transmission delivered power to the front wheels. Able to reach 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, the Spirit R/T outperformed the BMW M5 built that year.  It was chosen as Motor Trend magazine’s “Domestic Sport Sedan of the Year”, beating the Ford Taurus SHO for 1991 and 1992. A total of 1,208 Spirit R/Ts were sold in 1991. An additional 191 were sold in 1992 before being discontinued.
