I did a little research and this is what I found out. Stock Dodge Stratus R/Ts run low to mid 15 second quartermiles. The automatic (some have the "autostick" option) cars run about a second slower. They weigh a little less than 3000 lbs. A 3.0L DOHC V6 was available and the front wheel hp numbers are around 160 with 180 lb ft. of torque. Aftermarket parts for these cars are limited, but the usual bolt-ons are available (cold air intakes, headers, chips, etc.). Vortech makes a supercharger for these motors and it's an easy 230 whp with that blower. Do as much research as you can on this car you're going to run.

Keep in mind it's the same motor in the Eclipse GT.
Mid 15's out of the 5-speed model which can take out quite a few LO3's and LG4's..

I agree with the 300M. Thats a nice a SS ride. I wouldn't mind one for day to day driving. In Mexico they make the Stratus in turbo form atop a 2.4L. They are faster than the R/T Stratus's with the V6. I ran into one on the freeway(I live near the border)awhile in my friends Stealth R/T and that thing moved. I went to the Dealer in Juarez and saw one. Sure enough it had a Turbo. Damn thing will eat some L03's and LB9's with some minor tuning. The guy there said Factory claim was a 15.3. I guess thats like the GST Eclipse of the last Generation. Mexico has some weird *** cars people.
