"The engine was the 2.2 Turbo III, the third turbocharger setup CC had developed. Mopar engineers worked with Lotus to create the engine, which included Lotus-designed heads; it was the first four-valve-per-cylinder engine Chrysler had ever built, and featured balance shafts, a double overhead cam, and an intercooled Garret turbocharger. With the R/T's only transmission - the A-568 five-speed manual, created for that engine - it could reach 60 miles per hour in between 5.8 and 6.8 seconds."

And by the way, my first car, which was the one before the contour, was a 1992 Plymouth Voyager, unfortunately not using the 2.2 mentioned above, but rather a paltry 2.5 liter inline 4 rated at 100 hp and 135 ft/lbs of torque. It had its uses though as a party van though.
Its even got an intercooler, if you want to call it that. It looks more like an aux trans cooler to me. I'd get an aftermarket intercooler on that thing in a heartbeat and crank up the boost and fuel pressure and go out hunting 
Glad I finally have a good car.
