Re: 3000GT & Stealth

All naturally aspired 3000GT's and Dodge Stealth's were front engine / front wheel drive. I have owned both a stealth and 3000GT. The Stealth R/T and 3000GT VR-4 were 4wd, Twin Turbo, and All wheel steering. I was serioulsy considering buying a VR-4 untill I saw the weight on it. Almost 4,000lbs.!!!!! Great cars though.

This changes my look on those cars completely.

FWD??? FFS!

I've gone through a number of cars as many of us have. Currently, along with the NSX, I have my daily driver (have to have AWD for winter)

and since those of you that know me know I don't mind attention

Yes, all cars are forced induction, but only one makes over 800 hp to the wheels. No, it's not my NSX

Happy motoring,

Ben

Yeah, I was surprised when I heard that 3KGT's were FWD some years ago. My uncle finally got an SL version (220hp) and I had a chance to drive one. They really do handle like heavy pigs. At least compared to the other cars I've driven.

Get this, the SOHC base version makes 160hp from a 3.0L...

You are right on with the heavy pig handling. The only benefit from FWD was the handling in the weather.

I also had a 1991 SOHC Stealth and couldn't believe that it was only 164HP??!! Thankfully not everybody knew how slow those cars were when I had mine.

Ben: Your Viper is absolutley stunning!!

Mich,

The European spec for the Mitsubishi 3000GTO (as known here) is 4WD, twin turbo. For all of them. Unless I am very wrong.

Like all Toyota Supras here are twin turbo, some countries had non-turbo options. We also get better Mitsubishi EVO's and Subaru's Impreza's. Oh and don't forget the BMW M3 is a real M3 in Europe! Seems like we get the best of everything!

According to a local MB dealer E class 4-matics will be available late Summer/early Fall 2003

I haven't checked into the latest ones, but didn't the Supras have just one big turbo? I remember driving one about 8 years ago and it had a lot of "big turbo" lag...

 

[milz50]

The 86.5 - 92 Supras had an optional turbo. The 93 - 97 had an optional twin-turbo motor. Methinks the newer ones are more than twice as fun as the older ones.

 

[poet_x]

93.5+ Supras were available either TT or NA. A common mod is to convert over to a single turbo setup, normally resulting in 500+hp. Single turbo Supras command a premium price on the used car market. A clean and well done 94 or 95 single turbo can run well in the $30k range.


Sadly, I've never had the chance to use one. I pass my days away behind the wheel of a 1997 Sebring LXi coupe, dreaming of the time I can pilot a NSX down some of the roads that surround me. The 'bring is fun and all, but I wish I had an NSX to wake the corners up, to experience the bliss that comes from a well taken corner in a machine designed to carve the road up like a Thanksgiving turkey.

sigh...

 

[dougjgreen]

I used to own a normally aspirated '95 Supra. One reason that I DIDN'T get the twin turbo is that they only came with a hideous huge wing, which the normally aspirated cars didn't have, except as an option. In my opinion, that car had a beautiful line, which the rear wing totally destroyed. Incidentally, the last generation Supra was a truly painful, twitchy car to drive long distances - especially when compared to an NSX. I traded a '91 Gen-2 MR2 Turbo in on my Supra, and that was the biggest mistake I've ever made in my sports car experience. The Gen-2 MR2 was fast, nimble and COMFORTABLE, as well as surprisingly spacious for a small mid-engine 2 seater. A much more capable performance car than the newer MR-2, IMHO, because of the extra roominess, and the extra power. But it was a much more expensive car as well (selling for over $30K when it was discontinued in '95, the newer MR2 came out at $25K in '99)

Anyways, my sports car history:

'91 MR2 - I should have kept this instead of the '95 Supra
'82 Porsche 928 (bought for $4K in '96, kept till I got my 1st NSX)
'91 Supra - Bought for $5K in '00 as a car to drive in bad areas.
'95 Supra - Sold when I got my 1st NSX
'95 NSX (a red one that I flipped over in '01, but walked away)
2001 MR2 Spyder - my economy commuter car
2002 AMG E55 - for when I need to carry 3 or more people
'95 NSX (a black one that I intend to keep right-side up)

The last 3 of these are what I currently own
