The first generation Probe GT was available with a turbocharger, you may think that’d be a good thing, given the heyday of 1980s turbo sport coupes. You would, as unfortunate as it is, be wrong. The Probe GT from the early years of the model had all the power benefits of a turbo, but none of the handling or comfort characteristics of a higher-end GT car.
For the first few model years of Probe GT, the turbo was loud and annoying and contributed too much unpredictable torque steering into the equation. Granted, torque-steer isn’t inherently dangerous and is just the nature of a lot of front-wheel drive cars, but you don’t want your sporty coupe performing (and sounding) like a trash truck.
The turbo was done away with for the 1993 model year GT and the powerplant was replaced with a 2.5-liter V6 that was derived from a Mazda design. That engine, thankfully, was reported to be smooth and uncomplicated. It produced a much-needed 164 horsepower that aided in wafting the Probe GT to 60 mph in a respectable (for 1993) seven seconds.
