tell him to visit 3si.org. If he has any questions they can all be answered there. Also if he owuld like the screen name of someone with a nice soon to be 11 sec Stealth TT your friend can ask me for it on AIM. My name is Burntofferings62. I don't wanna post the other guys name without asking him.

thanks

Basically the same as the Mitsubishi 3000GT (GTO in Japan). Twin turbo 3 liter V6 AWD that weigh A LOT. Around 5.5 sec 0-60 and about 14.2 1/4. 296hp 307 tq. Cool cars, can be made pretty fast and the AWD let this thing pull .90 g according to car and driver.

yeah i heard that they were pretty heavy, around 3800 lbs or more. What i wanted to know was all the other stuff you said, so i do appreciate it.

thanks for the help

If you look for "Roy" he already has an 11 sec stealth . Those cars are fun handle a million times better than buicks, but are just as "touchy". 1/4 mile time all depends on how much the driver wants to push his luck when doing his launch. 13's stock are possible if you rev it to the moon and dump the clucth, but don't expect the transfer case to last long doing that I forgot the year, but it think it was 94 or 95 when they added forged cranks an made some minor tweaks to the motor(mostly for reliability sake)

I hope your friend isn't a relatively large guy.......I have a 91 Stealth R/T (No turbo ) and I'm 6'3", 260 lbs. and it takes me about 20 minutes to get in or out of the thing. Strange though, I get more compliments on that thing than I can keep track of and I never really thought it was anything special in the looks department.

 

[87grandnat]

well i passed along the info you guys sharded with me to my friendand he has decided to pass on the car, he was expecting better performance out of it i guess the weight of the car really hurt it in the performance field.

I've owned one and am currently shopping for another low mileage example (anyone know of one, please send the info my way). I can say that, heavy or not, they are an awesome fun car to drive, especially in the curves. The adjustable suspension is substantially different between "tour" and "sport" modes, and the all wheel drive makes for very quick starts (minus turbo lag of course). The interior is somewhat small, but like a fighter jet, and the car is laid out very well inside. I love the thing, and will get another one as my daily driver soon.

dang dude dont you think you have enough cars already

which would you rather have a stealth awd tt or a mitsu 3000gt vr4, i am basically trying to see if theres any difference between the 2, i personally like the look of the vr4 over the stealth

 

[dhauser]

Hehehe, never!

I like the stealth look better because you don't see them near as much as the 3kgts, but you're view is the majority. I just like the Dodge bodywork better. Same car otherwise.

My roommate has three, count 'em, three Dodge Stealth TT's in the garage. My poor little GN is surrounded. So, right or wrong, I've become a bit knowledgeable about these things.

Yes, they are heavy. However, my roommates' 1996 Stealth TT (one of only 6 made with silver paint) ran 13.08, bone stock down to the air filter. As far as we know, he owns the record for the fastest bone-stock Stealth. He recently acquired a 1995 Stealth TT that does not have 18" rims nor a sunroof, which is rare for those cars. He thinks that he can get it to run faster than 13.07, because it weighs less. I think the statement "13's are possible stock" is a bit pessimistic.

The weakest links, from hearing my roommate talk, is the transmission and the clutch. My roommate has several spares for his "probable-11, possible-10" never-ending project car.

My roommate's screen name on 3si.org is "Joe G." He'll answer any questions that you might have. He knows a LOT about these cars. Just check out his web site - you won't believe it. And, these links aren't even the whole thing.

stealth times

My buddy dominic bought a twin turbo stealth from doctor. The car had about 60.000 on the clock. The car ran high 14's at best but I will say the car had alot of top end. The car went past 140 mph many a time. But it was no match for my 2000 camaro z28 6 speed that was governed at 158. Plus I ran 13.50's all day and it was all stock. Need less to say I kicked his ass all over the place. Theres my 2 cents.

Go to the second link in my post above.

Go to the table labeled "Joe Gonsowski, silver '96 R/T TT, Bone Stock".

Click on the video link in that table.

The video is one that I shot. You are watching a BONE STOCK 1996 Dodge Stealth TT run a 13.12 (backed-up his earlier 13.08 run), and at the same time beating up on a BONE STOCK 1998 C5. The great equalizer was all wheel drive. Joe's 60' times absolutely crushed the Vette. A stock F-body would have done no better.

14.5 for a Stealth TT is pretty slow. Either the engine was not right, or your friend wasn't trying very hard. A stock Stealth TT should run 13's if pushed. With some simple mods (boost controller, gutted cats, K&N, maybe a better clutch), 12's are very attainable.
