In this exhilarating episode by Mr JWW, we witness the transformation of a humble Dodge into a powerhouse capable of towing cars, all in preparation for an upcoming car week. But that's not all - the team is knee-deep in another Daily Driven Exotics project, focusing on a manual Mercio with a jaw-dropping GT1 rear end and chassis-mounted wing. However, this beast faced its fair share of challenges, from a burnt-out windshield wiper motor to a mangled window regulator. With the clock ticking before the Monterey rally, the pressure is on to get this machine back in top shape.
As our host delves into the Mercio's specs, we learn about its tuned 6.2L engine by Gintani, complete with a straight pipe exhaust and GT1-style diffuser. The driving experience is not for the faint of heart, with nuances like steel brakes and a gearbox that demands a delicate touch until warmed up. And let's not forget about the unique interior quirks, such as the infamous blue glare issue and the necessity of specific sunglasses to combat it. Driving this manual marvel requires skill and finesse, from turning off traction control to mastering the handbrake intricacies.
Amidst the adrenaline-pumping drive, the Mercio reveals its true character with revs that produce exhilarating pops and banks, a feature exclusive to pre-LP models. The manual gearbox, once warmed up, becomes a symphony of gear shifts that any petrolhead would appreciate. And as our host navigates the winding roads, the car's practicality and driving dynamics shine through, making it a standout in the supercar realm. With a nod to the rising prices of similar models, the Mercio proves to be a rare gem worth every penny. As the episode draws to a close, the anticipation for more time behind the wheel is palpable, showcasing the deep bond between a driver and their machine.
