After Carroll helped Dodge massage their 2.2 cars, he wanted a more aggressive and performance oriented vehicle. He bought the last 500 86 GLH Turbos, all of them black. These were then shipped to his assembly plant in Whittier, California. This is where the 146 HP GLH made its transformation into a GLHS! Shelby started with the addition of an air-to-air intercooler, different turbo and special intake manifold, larger injectors and throttle body. This allowed Shelby to bump the boost from 9-psi to 12-psi (or 14-psi at WOT with the MP Stage II module). The result was 175-hp and 175 lb-ft of torque.

Now that the power was available, the suspension was upgraded with Koni adjustable struts/shocks all around. Shelby added more negative front camber and a small bit more toe-in on the rear. The tires were upsized from the 195's to 205/50VR-15 Goodyear Gatorbacks, mounted on Shelby Centurion aluminum wheels.

The inside received a clear sticker overlay on the unpegged speedometer that gave it a readout to 135 MPH and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. The last interior change consisted of the removal of the normal plastic Omni badge and its replacement with the numbered Shelby Automobile badge.

Depending on which magazine you read, the car was capable of quarter mile times between 14.8 and 15.3, 0-60 in the 6.5 second range and a top speed of 130 MPH. Brings a new meaning to the term grocery getter.
