so i bought my car in august for $300and just got my license last week my friend at school thiks he can beat my camaro in a 1/4. since its snowing here in ohio i can't race him at the track to prove him wrong so im relying on u guys for an answer do u think i could beat him

 

Are you stock?

 

yeah except for a k&n filter that looks like it was soaked in gas for 6 years

 

I have heard of a stealth EX, and R/T. I think the R/T had a turbo. Never heard of a 3000 hmm. An 87 LG4 with an auto trans will usually run mid to low 16's. Anyone know what these 3000's run?
I believe an EX is good for high 15's, and an R/T turbo low 14's.

 

He means a 3000GT

 

Is it a 5 speed or auto?

Is it a sohc or dohc?

And if it is a RT twin turbo you would be lucky if you could see him by the end of the 1/4

 

If its a 91 3000GT it would be a drivers race. If its the turbo car say goodbye.

 

sohc 3.0's run mid 16, dohc 3.0, mid-high 15's, Vr4 (Twin Turbo) run high 13s and should be a threat to most l98's.

 

If you or your buddy doesn't know exactly what engine he has and its a Mitsu 3000GT...the SL model had the 3.0L V6 SOHC with 160hp (lucky to be in the 16s, especially if its an auto), the base 3000GT (no SE or VR-4 after) had the 222HP 3.0L V6 DOHC and could probably pull off mid 15s as stated if driven well, and the VR4 runs anywhere from low 14s to mid-high 13s depending on driver and year of car. As stated, they were twin-turbo with 300-320hp depending on year (the early ones were rated at 300hp).

The Dodge Stealth models...there were both a "base" model and an ES model that received the SOHC V6. The R/T got the DOHC V6, and the R/T Turbo got the twin-turbo motor. Times were fairly similar to the 3000GT times.

Depends on the race as to who wins. Who cares who has the faster car as the cars will run fairly close to each other (unless he has the twin-turbo model, which I seem to doubt). Get out there and see who's the better driver.

 

Not all R/T's are turbos. I worked at a dodge dealership and those things are horribly slow. I'm not sure about the weight, but they're heavy. They maybe even heavier than a 3rd gen.

 

The AWD models are even worse as far as weight goes.

 

Stealths weigh anything from 3500-3900lbs....they are heavy cars, and though the base V6 hp rating may be like 220hp, consider the weight of it.....with a turbo though, they'll slap you

 

his car is a 3 liter v6 and it is a stealth with a sohc fwd only and it has a real bad tranny leak
it goes about 120 then starts to knock

 

So it has the real weak 160hp motor AND its not running close to perfect (judging by the knocking, unless it requires better gas), and its trying to pull 3400-3600lbs. Go out and rape him.

 

Amen.

 

you think the stealth is in bad shape but he bought an lg4 for 300 dollars and the filter was gas soaked..... i'm going with the stealth on this one.

 

lol good call...now I'm second guessing myself. Just go out and race, put $20 on it, and hope you beat him. Best thing you could probably do for taht car right now is to buy a stock replacement air filter for $6.

 

If its the base model than he only weighs about 3100 lbs not 3400-3600lbs. Big difference.

 

It doesn't really matter when you only have like 160 hp at the crank.

I'm should start putting import tidbits in my sig and posting it everytime. One of them would be:
1) If there is a factory option for a turbo model, and it's not the turbo model, then it ****ing sucks.

 

i cleaned the air filter and added a flowmaster 80series muffler with new plugs a wires my car is starting to run really good and strong i rebuilt the Quadrajunk and added a corvette emblem on the air cleaner lid so u no that adds about 15 horses but he still brags if im going to race this punk i want to cream him i mean smuther his face in dog $h!*. i don't want to race him just to see him win ya no wut i mean

 

right on.

 

I feel like I just got dumber.

 

reading his post and then yours for some reason made me laugh pretty hard

 

is it a stealth or a 3000gt because a 3kgt did not get a sohc till 97

91 till 95 the non turbo dohc 3kgt had 222 hp
96 till 99 dohc had 218 hp
97 till 99 sohc had 161 hp
91 till 94 turbo 3kgt had 300 hp
95 till 99 turbo 3kgt had 320 hp

91-96 stealth sohc 161 hp
91-96 stealth dohc 222 hp
91-93 stealth turbo 300 hp
94-96 stealth turbo 320 hp

 

Ive raced a kid with a DOHC with bolt ons, it was a joke and this is when my l98 was stock, and its even a 87 model, lowest hp and tq numbers..

 

You proably raced a mid 16 second car. At the time you were most likely in the mid 14's.

 

by the way my car only has 89,000 miles on it and the steath has almost 200,000 on it. i found out why my air filter was so dirty to the egr valve was blocked by a peice of carbon which was causing the engine to misfire and backfire. Since i cleaned out the egr valve my car runs like new it even chirped 2nd gear 1 time but my friends stealth won't even light the tires up and it's not awd trust me ive done more work to that car than he has.

 

auto dohc are low 16 and have no low end grunt, sohc suck even more odds are in your favor go get your v and vido tape if you can
