Yeah, base models did not have a tach so it’s all feel. Engine: 120hp/130tq 2.2L pushrod I4 9.0:1 comp ratio, mated to 5speed MK7 Isuzu Trans. Car weight hovering around 2950 lbs with driver.

She’s not quick but does honest work with that tired motor pushing 165,000 miles

I had one of these for a couple years just out of high school. Only difference was auto trans. Car was damn near perfect condition and only cost me a grand. You can wake them up a little with effort.

That’s not bad! Seems as fast and more fun than most modern Subarus.

That actually seemed strangely quick.

* Could just be because I’ve been driving the 92 all week*

I should try out that new camera’s video capability, get a 0-60 run on the Acclaim. We’ve timed it around 6.5 secs with a stopwatch and a lot of wheelspin.

Wow, that’s a blast from the past! I haven’t heard the name Plymou th Acclaim in about a decade. What a survivor, neat!

They are getting harder to find around here though.
