Powertrain Options and Availability
No fewer than four engines were available in 1990 Shadows, from a 93-horsepower base engine to a hot 174-horsepower VNT Turbo, with a 2.5-liter and Turbo I in between. Shadows with the most potent turbo were manual-shift only, but others could have the 3-speed automatic transmission instead. The VNT Turbo was gone after '90, and the other turbo departed in 1992, replaced by a 3.0-liter V6 engine option, which developed 141 horsepower. A 4-speed automatic went with V6 engines, while 4-cylinder Shadows stuck with the 3-speed. Convertibles and the Shadow ES had a standard 2.5-liter engine, while base and America Shadows kept the smaller (2.2-liter) four as standard equipment.
