Stealth is gone...
 
1 Attachment(s)
Well, I sold my '94 Dodge Stealth RT this AM.

I drove it a bit the last week or so, and will miss it.

Unlike the STI, the 350 HP or so just pull pretty much from the get go since it has two even smaller turbos than the 2.0l WRX, one each tied to either side of the 3.0l V6, so it spools instantly. It is a heavy beast, 3500+lb dry in it's partially stripped SM legal configuration.

I won't miss the crappy transmissions that always leak and destroy synchros, and then the trany case in the process.

It went to another Team 3S memeber (Club for 3000GT and Stealth owners.) who will finish it's conversion to a true track beast and go give Bob Forest a run for his money. Heck , it may make it back up to RFR and give you guys a run. larger wheelbase/track, lower CG, more HP, and less drag than the Subarus, you never no. ;) I no it was faster than all the Audis at track events with only Chris in his Porsche C4TT being faster.

So believe it or not, I am down to 4 "cars" from my all time high of 6 a month or so ago. A4 in LV, STI, F150, and '66 Park Lane in Reno. And with any luck, and a wiring haness, C&C should have the later running shortly. :banana:

I saw the '66 today. I'm sure they'll have it running in no time.

Also, congrats on the sale, I know it will make your life a little easier for the time being. That thing was always impresssive on the track, I remember following it around RFR before.

Yeah that's what I thought about when I read that. I remember thinking who would want such a heinously colored car. But watching it go quickly made that no matter.
