Yeah, my best friend, older brother type figure, got a real car. And by real car, i mean a 30,000 mile rebuilt engine, twin turbo, all-wheel drive and sterring, dodge stealth R/T.

It's a beast, with at least 30,000 grand spent on it (after the purchase), it's making 585 horse's. The story is, a guy in cali. was real wealthy, and knew how to build cars. So he built this one, and left it in his will to a guy in my city here. Well, the guy that built the car got in a bad bike wreck which killed him. So, the car showed up here, and the guy sold it for not 10 grand, not 8 grand, but 6 grand.

Stealths aren't real cars.

the VR4 is a real car

but the stealth is a mitsu with an identity crises

I know Super. I know. it was a joke.

same to you Seth. Did he replace the mitsu turbos? I'll assume so since it's impossible to hit that high with the stock turbos.

I hope he knows about 3si.org - If he doesn't you should tell him.

PS, I did the dodge stealth/3000GT international calendar as well
i'll try to get picks soon. of course the turbo's are aftermarket, and also upgraded, haha. This guy spent a lot of money on the car. The only confusing thing is he kept the same air supply, which i'll be changing soon (like the airbox to the twin turbo's)

Not exactly. A VR4 is not a 3000GT or a stealth. Gotta stick up for Shid when he's right.

QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback]i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
www.3si.org is all he will need, scratch that, www.stealth316.com is what he will need. Jeff Lucius has done an unbelievable job with his Stealth and helped me with some probs I had with mine.

a 3000gt vr4 is still a 3000gt. its not like the body/unibody are completely different

stealths are ugly by comparison to a 3000gt

My bad. I never knew they made turbo AWD stealths....I guess Shid was wrong.

jesus it was a joke on what 3000GT owners think of Stealth owners lay off.

For those of you who are too dense to get it, here's the breakdown.

The Dodge Stealth R/T TT is a rebadged 3000GT VR4 is a rebadged JDM GTO. However, in the 3000GT and Stealth community, they're very very VERY anal about their cars, and anyone who tries to do a GTO conversion (or a Stealth to 3000GT conversion) is instantly pounced apon and beaten to a bloody pulp. The joke is, they're the same bloody car but these guys get so stuck up and anal about it..

DO YOU GET IT NOW? DO ANY OF YOU UNDERSTAND? I'LL EAT YOU. I SWEAR TO GOD YOU WILL BE DIGESTED.

5 posts in i said it was a joke, but you still didn't get it. Do we need an official 6gc poking stick or something?

3000GT VR4 = Stealth R/T TT
3000GT SL and base = Stealth R/T, ES, and base

Stealths are 3000GTs. same engines, same tranny, same brakes, same interior, same everything except some body differences.

yes i think they are ugly

Actually I think the stealth is hideous, I much prefer a good 3000GT with the early model headlights (as opposed to the weird eye headlights they had later years)

pfff, who cares if some morons want to keep the cars stock. they have no right to try to keep people from changing the body of the car.

I know, I posted a thread here a while back about a thread on 3si.org that just went totally AWOL, was about people doing GTO conversions. 44 page flame war.

Batman's been posting for a really long time.. Whats he gonna say? *reloads page constantly*

While we're waiting, I think I'm the first person on 6gc.net to threaten to digest other members.

Actually, same here
IMO any of the 3KGT's are ugly except for the 3rd Gens - all Stealth's are pretty hideous. With that said - they're fast. My friend had a 93 VR4 and could launch the thing pretty hard and it wouldnt squeal or nothing - took off like a rocket. All-wheel steer is a lil iffy and personally I wouldnt touch a Mitsu but to each his own.
