Is he for real!?
 
Ok, my friend is gettin a '85 Dodge Omni GLH. the thing is old/beat up; has a hole in the floor, seats arnt bolted down... but it does have a turbo, but it know its not a stock one like on the GLHS. he says this 4 cyl will walk all over my '00 camaro 3.8 and my other friends '05 mustang 4.0. i know my camaro is nothing special but its puttin out 200 HP and his 24+ year old turbocharged 4 cyl is puttin out a "claimed 175 HP" will this guy really beat a camaro 3.8 and a 4.0 stang!?!?

If it is a GLH, then yes it stands a very good chance of beating your car even it is stock. Just FYI, I could make one those cars run mid-low 13's for under $1000 very easy. They are light and can be fast easy and cheap.

A lot depends on condition. Turbocharged car's don't like to be neglected and the car may be near the end of its life if she has not been taken are of.

a cheap GLH would make a sweet autox car

NEVER underestimate a turbo car. the Omni GLHS was good for a mid 15 second 1/4 mile stock. just because he's running a small engine doesn't mean he has no powerband, boost changes that quite a bit.;)
