The Dodge Omni GLH was the highest performance version of Chrysler's small front-wheel-drive Omni hatchback, developed with Carroll Shelby and sold from 1984 to 1986. The letters stood for Goes Like Hell. Shelby replaced the weak standard engine with a 2.2 litre four cylinder and added a sport tuned suspension with upgraded shocks, larger brakes and stiffer springs, riding on 15 inch alloy wheels with performance tires. The turbocharged version offered from 1985 made 146 horsepower and 170 pound feet of torque through a five speed manual and could reach 60 miles per hour in about 7.5 seconds. In 1986 Shelby bought 500 Omnis from Dodge and upgraded them at his Whittier, California, plant into the more powerful Shelby GLH-S.
