FS: 1997 Eagle Talon TSi AWD - 546WHP
 

For sale is a rare fully built 1997 Eagle Talon TSi AWD. I am the second owner and bought this car completely stock back in 2001. Over the years, I have spared few expenses to build the fastest, most comfortable, daily-driven Talon I could. Over $50K invested over the years!! And I have dozens and dozens of receipts to prove it! Just look at all of the parts listed below.

This is NOT some stripped down weekend-only car or trailer queen. This car was built with the best parts and the most skilled labor so that it can be as civilized as it can get for a 546 AWHP (see dyno graph) car. The car doesn't need to be tinkered with or re-tuned every day, the tune has been dialed in, so there is nothing left to do but drive.

All engine/transmission/major repair work has been done by MAPerformance (MAP).

• The engine is a 9 out of 10. It only has about 5,000 miles on it. It is broken in with NO ISSUES! It is a fully built 2.3L STROKER 6-bolt by MAPerformance with a ball-bearing Garrett GT35R turbo. The car has low end torque and boost comes on strong at about 3000rpm and holds all the way to the 7500rpm rev limit. But because this car has an electronic boost controller, the boost is civilized at part throttle too. It has NO known problems. The car still has all of the stock features like A/C and cruise. The engine has only seen Mobil 1 synthetic.
• The body is a 9.5 out of 10. It has 106K miles on it and has only one tiny door ding because a few years ago I had $1000 worth of paintless dent removal done on the car. The paint is original and smoother and glossier than most new cars!
• The interior is a 9.5 out of 10. It looks like it did new! All of the electronics are nicely hidden away from sight. This is a perfect SLEEPER car - the interior, other than the A-pillar gauges, looks stock.

This car has won multiple times in the 2G class at the DSM cookout.

I'm selling this car because I bought a different car and find myself not driving this car too often any more.

If you're thinking I want a bit much for "just" a modded Talon, you have to understand that I am OCD when it comes to my car. I demand perfection and believe that I have come as close to that as possible with this car.

Please feel free to contact me, with any questions or to set up a test drive, via PM or Email: okrampf@gmail.com or Call/Text: (612)325-5680.

This car has a clean title. Serious buyers only. All sales are final.

I am willing to drive up to 300 miles from the Cities to meet the buyer.

I accept cash or cashiers check. Price is slightly negotiable.
