Vehicle Description
In the early 1990s, a new generation of car enthusiasts latched on
to spectacular, technology-laden sports cars from the 'Big Five'
Japanese automakers. The Dodge Stealth, a captive import from
Mitsubishi, was one such offering. Because these global
featherweights made no qualms about catering to enthusiasts, most
have been thoroughly modified and whipped hard by three or four
different owners. And, as any JDM diehard will tell you, finding a
Stealth that hasn't seen more than its fair share of track days and
bolt-on modifications is becoming increasingly difficult. Well,
until now... This low-mileage Stealth R/T Twin Turbo is an
exceptional example of just that. Pampered by just one owner since
new, this un-modified Dodge is an impressive time capsule that'll
transport you back to the days when stellar performance outshined
raw horsepower!
STEALTH
By 1992, the Nagoya, Japan-built Stealth had become an established
player in America's re-invigorated sports car market. Virtually
every gearhead knew if you wanted to look cool, you bought an ES.
If you wanted to look cool and go fast, you bought an R/T. And if
you wanted to look cool, go fast and kick asphalt, you bought an
R/T Twin Turbo. Logging only 19,427 miles since it rolled out of
the showroom, this one-owner MoPar appears to have rarely seen
anything other than sunshine and warm summer days. A quick check of
the car's undercarriage and suspension reveals no evidence of
substantial rot or abuse. A quick check of its CARFAX certifies its
body has never seen any major repairs. And a quick check of our
pictures confirms its clean Black paint is both rich and glossy.
That's right, even 28 years after it rolled out of the showroom
this spry sports coupe is still a true head turner everywhere it
goes!
NOT ONE, BUT TWO
In the early 1990s, factory performance wars finally started
heating up again. But this time, instead of Chevy, Ford and MoPar
duking it out, the battle involved Japan's finest. Sure, the Viper
made its debut, and the Corvette was still around, but those beasts
were in a different league; and the price of admission to that
league was pretty steep. So, the Japanese automakers identified a
niche for affordable sports cars, and the fight commenced. This
Dodge's Mitsubishi-designed, twin-turbo powertrain benefits from
technology that was very advanced for its time. The core of that
powertrain is a DOHC 24-valve 3.0-liter 6-cylinder which sports
electronic fuel injection, aluminum heads, factory roller rockers
and, of course, two turbochargers. Those turbos, intercooled via
intakes incorporated into the front air dam, make the spry mill
good for an even 300 horsepower and 308 lb./ft. of smooth torque.
And, since all that horsepower and technological goodness could be
had in a relatively light package for about half the price of
Dodge's V10 flagship, it was generally viewed as wise
economics.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE DRIVE
Twin-turbo Stealths came standard with a 5-speed Getrag manual
transmission feeding a full-time all-wheel drive system. That
system's 45 front/55 rear power split gives the car catapult-like
acceleration in any weather condition, while 4-wheel steering
provides additional stability during high speed cornering. At low
speeds, the car's electronics are completely transparent, almost
entirely unnoticeable and almost exactly replicating normal
two-wheel steering and normal front-wheel-drive. The electronically
controlled, variable-rate 4-wheel independent suspension does an
excellent job tightening apexes or loosening tension. Stops come
courtesy of 4-piston calipers, which squeeze 16-inch rotors up
front and 15-inch rotors out back. Power meets the pavement through
painted alloys, which spin 245/45ZR17 Goodyear Eagle ZR45s around
Pentastar shaped center caps. And overall, this Stealth is
sure-footed, feels surprisingly fast, and is an absolute blast to
drive!
PERFORMANCE AND COMFORT
Presenting a striking contrast to its glossy exterior, this coupe's
optional leather cockpit displays hardly any signs of wear. The
6-way power driver's seat keeps you as comfortable for quick jaunts
as it does for long road trips, and the passenger and rear buckets
don't appear to have been used for hardly anything at all. In front
of the driver, a dramatic dash, which shows zero defects, is packed
full of factory instrumentation that works exactly as it should.
Automated climate control and an optional sound system provide
comfort and entertainment. Between the aforementioned seats, a
crack-free console anchors a black shifter on clean carpet that's
protected by "STEALTH" branded floor mats. And a clean steering
wheel spins redundant audio controls around factory Cruise.
Whenever we post low mileage Japanese sports cars, they sell almost
immediately. A whole generation of buyers grew up with these
curve-carving coupes, and since they're becoming increasingly
scarce, the good ones get snapped up as quickly as they hit the
market. If you're a new-age enthusiast who likes to burn up the
roads, few cars deliver the performance and luxury of Dodge's
mighty Stealth R/T Twin Turbo. And with only lightly-used, original
miles, this MoPar will have you smiling every time you slide behind
the wheel!
