1986 Dodge Daytona Overview
With subtle nods back to the Daytona race car, the 1986 Dodge Daytona hatchback is an impressive little street racer masquerading as a practical economy starter car. And by practical, we mean fun. In 1986, there was only the base and Turbo Z trims. While the rumbling monster turbo 2.2-liter, 146-hp engine remained unchanged, the base got a new engine, a 2.5-liter I4 that hit 100-hp. A 5-speed manual came standard, with optional 3-speed auto.
For the 1986 Daytona Turbo Z only, a special C/S Hangling Package was offered. Though he had no invovlement, the C/S stood for Carroll Shelby, and the package feaured a sports-tuned suspension, with performance struts and tires, bigger stabilizer bars in front and back, and Recaro sports seats.
The base model hatchback came standard with a radio this year, as well as a rear defogger and intermittent wipers. Power locks and windows were optional. A government required center brake light was also added to the 1986 Daytona. The Turbo Z featured racing stripes and Z badging on the taillights. Many owners bought the Turbo Z for its performance and handling, and the C/S package didn't disaapoint. The 1986 Daytona holds up well, say owners, and is also a popular car to modify.

luisvette89 Looking for driver,s side door weatherstrip for a 1986 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z w/T-tops. Please e-mail me at luisvette89@yahoo.com if you are selling a set or just the side I need. Car recently repainted and body shop rip old one in two pieces in error.
mismuhshelby I owned the 1986 Shelby Daytona with the CS package; decent performance and price plus a very useful everyday vehicle due to the hatchback. Unfortunately, Chrysler tried to be a bit too clever with upgrading it's K-Car components. The manual shifter linkage was attached to the transmission with a spring clip which would break and fall off at inopportune moments leaving me stranded and waiting for a tow truck. During the eight years I owned the car, the clip problem was never fixed by Chrysler. A real shame, as I really liked the car and thought it was far better than my previous car- a third gen Ford Mustang. Haven't purchased a Chrysler or Ford product since.
