Mitsubishi 3000GT VS Dodge STEALTH | Battle of the 90'S Twin Turbos (Key Differences)

[@sigvision4189]

I will always click on anything that says 3000gt or dodge stealth. Throughout the years they made so many subtle changes between both cars one would think that costed more to manufacture verses leaving things more similar.

[@meanman6992]

99 VR4 has always been one of the best looking cars to me.

[@NoSenatorson]

Takes us back when Mitsubishi was great.

[@az_3kgt714]

taking my fully built 3000gt Sl to fuel fest scottsdale tommorow. Couldnt take it last year because it needed a tune and every shop was refusing to do it. Finally got it done made 305whp at 8800rpms with no forced induction or nitrous. Not a bad achievement for a guy without a garage and not that much money lol. Glad to see atleast someone still keeping a spotlight on these cars.

[@JrodsGarage]

That’s really impressive

[@az_3kgt714]

@@JrodsGarage well theres alot of compromises made. I lost a lot of torque putting a holley hi-ram on it at the bottom end but its what put it over the edge for the 300whp. Basically its a 6g75 holley hi-ram adapter from breton performance made to fit on the 72 even had to do the write ups, List of changes and an install video and sent it to breton. Now they sell it as a kit for the 72. So got the chance to develop some parts for these cars however small. But high up in the rpms 6-9k it was out running 450cc injectors. Upgraded to a bigger fuel pump to finish out the tune but it needs bigger injectors for ethanol. Tuner was saying at those rpms its sucking in so much air. It does have a 95mm Ls throttle body on the holley so its not hurting for air and its on speed density from the haltech ecu. So no maf its just a 4.5in pipe and bellmouth with an IAT and a meth injector in their now lol.

[@jerryhawk8434]

Finally someone who knows what they are talking about lv it. I have a 93 Stealth RT and I just bought a 93 3000GT. Lv them both.

[@JrodsGarage]

Been playing with this since 2002!

[@Jizden_Mipanz]

Love it! These cars were severely overlooked compared to other iconic vehicles of their time. Glad to see someone out there keeping them alive! Always wanted one in the early 2000s but didn't have the coin.... Now I wish I would've just figured it out because now I definitely don't have the coin for one! Ha ha

[@jacobkirkpatrick1791]

I always liked the Stealth tail lights more. Those tail lights with the quad round headlights is just badass looking.

[@troydarnellknight]

The 3000 get was just so much more better looking than the stealth. I had 2 3000 gts and I loved them both.

[@ironicdon]

The stealth has those dodge avenger rt and talon tsi pieces

[@theodorecarbajal-r1h]

Camera guy should of stood back more to compare the 2, but great video...fire the camera guy plz

[@P-J-W-777]

I’m not a JDM fan but I have always loved the looks of the 3000GT and the 300Z from the same time period. I’d definitely take either one of those without question.

[@grooveholmes79]

Keep up the Stealth/3000GT content! It's my favorite car since I was a kid. I bought my 93 Stealth TT two years ago and couldn't be happier.

[@JrodsGarage]

You will like todays video!

[@SVW1976]

Both of those cars are rare without even getting into the specifics. Anyone who says otherwise doesnt have a clue.

[@Rikverse24]

In detail, it is important to mention that in 1996/1997 the 3000GT steering columns and steering wheels were upgraded with a different slip ring and a modified steering column because Mitsubishi changed the gearing here. The airbag system was also improved here and there were passenger airbags that were not available before.

[@JrodsGarage]

Passenger air bag started in the US in 1994. Thats when the dash changed.

[@nesis250]

Awesome video! Very informative and lax. Living the dream!

[@razer440]

[@shawnsebikesandstuff15]

I daily drive a 1993 3000 SL love it great video see you on the next one

[@Bluecedor]

Man after my own heart, keepin' and drivin' 'em stock. Just need to get the Stealth's wheels back to factory. I had totally forgotten the targa version. Truly a unique feature that is extremely uncommon in automotive history, even within Porsche's product legacy. There are at least couple reasons why the climate control spec was different: Mitsu wanted the 3000GT to be ever so slightly more special and luxurious, or given the rarity of these cars after 1995 in the US, they maybe(?) ran out of allotment for the electronic HVAC and patched the lesser-badged version with the manual HVAC unit. OR...something completely different happened.

[@JeffLMB]

I always loved the look of the 3000GT. Its really sad that they didnt get the same aftermarket love that all of the other 90's JDM hero cars did.

[@horsy_atx]

Happy holidays brother!

[@anthonyholleran9378]

Wow! I have always loved these cars since I was an adolescent. These babies are legends for sure. They just don't make bad ass whips like these anymore, sadly!

Nice comparison. I own a 91 Stealth R/T. I put a TT j spec engine in my fwd I also own a 93 Stealth es. My son owns a 92 3000 GT. Black 5-speed. My 91 has a 5-speed posi traction trans axle. Upgraded axels with a front Mount 3SX intercooler. Front wheel drive with the TT engine is pretty tricky and a blast to drive.

[@barryrodgers3039]

I don't know if it was functional, but I loved the early Stealths that had the air scoops on the side. As a kid, looking for my first car (around 92), I got to sit in a blue one. It wasn't the R/T but had the leather interior. I wanted it so bad. :)

[@celuiquipeut6527]

My dad used to work at a chrysler dealer when i was a kid. The stealth rt twin turbo was the faster car around at that time. I dunno why it went under the radar for a lot of people. Always wanted one when i was a kid. I prefer left hand drive car, and frankly, i always prefered the stealth to the misubishi.

[@TrevorShrier]

Sounds pretty good for 25 Years Old

[@jmjimbo]

Wow those must be really rare nowadays. I don’t think I have seen one in at least 15 years

[@DCAZPER]

Love the ones with pop up headlights. Too bad you can’t convert the later years to pop up headlights

[@marknathaniel2861]

The glass roof was also an option a very rare option on the SL model but it was an option. I have a 1994 SL with the ECS and glass roof options equipped. After some head work and a few other tweaks I was beating literally everything on Franklin Blvd with the exception of a tubed out 69 Camaro some old dude ( he was old to us probably in his 30's lol) was always cruising in and a Trans Am with the WS packing and a weird ass rear exhaust turbo. Right now it's sitting waiting for me to get around to redoing it but it will always be my baby lol We had DuPont Chameleon Paint and crushed velvet interior. Really a long story, I can't tell here but the car was stolen from California before I bought it in Charlotte NC so I actually bought a stolen car but thankfully I ended up with the title when all said and done. I have always love these cars and I really don't think any other car in the world with the exception of possibly a Viper and a couple different Ferraris that have the curves have any business with chameleon paint on them 🤣, I hate seeing that paint on something like a Mustang fox body for instance, it's just too square and flat and I love the fox bodies don't get me wrong.

[@MARCUSROGERS21]

A lot of people may not know the Dodge stealth made an appearance in one of the Beverly Hills cop movies

[@tylanbakardi2750]

Every time the code went out on my Honda Accord I was just looking at the owner's manual it was there

[@allforwheelsgarage]

I've had at least 10 Eclipse/Talon DSMs but never a single 3000GT/Stealth. I love them but they have always been so rare or expensive unless you're willing to settle for an SL. I do still have my 1998 Eclipse GST I bought in 2001. Great cars.

[@changosstrikefirst6921]

the concepts in the thumbnail are dope

[@iamatlantis1]

Damn, this was a really cool video! I've always loved those things. Their lowness and wideness always reminded me of the c4 Corvette of that era, when you see them in person I mean. I knew about the FWS but not the active aero, thats pretty sick! What an advanced beast they were for their time, under-appreciated I think, why was that? Reliability issues, or?

[@JrodsGarage]

They do have a bad wrap. But mostly due to bad ownership. People buy a cheap car. And it has issues. The nice are are nice

[@TisiphonesShadow]

While there were faster cars available at the time, the 3000GT had some of the best handling available at the time. It was the dream car I could never afford.

[@TJsVette]

I had a Eclipse and really wanted a 3000gt back in the day. They were a great looking car and they still look good today. I wasn't a fan of the hoop spoiler tho.

[@JrodsGarage]

I agree

[@blue_lancer_es]

The stealth didn't have all the gadgets to keep cost down. Iirc they also came with the sohc engine in base trim since first year. 3000gt i think offered the sohc in the last years(I could be wrong. )

[@JamesCopeland-i1j]

Dude... those thumbnail renders are sick. What did you feed the AI? Looks like "3000 GT with Skyline proportions".

[@JrodsGarage]

I love the 2nd gen with the bomex lip

[@VcArena]

Always liked the stealth better than the 3000gt. Had a higher top speed too. 168mph bs 162mph. Not much difference but nearly 170 with only 320hp is something else.

[@shawnguillory267]

if you know of some stealth r/t auto in good shape, i’d love to get one for my mom. she had a 92 that she loved. in fact she still has it but it hasn’t run in years. if i could get someone to get that running again i’d be happy. she loved that car

[@JrodsGarage]

I bet we could

[@dragontalontsiawd]

I gotta ask, that 96 TT stealth, did you get that from a guy in Indiana? There was a local one recently selling with electrical and turn signal issues, but it was bone stock and had different rims. I have always loved the Eagle/Dodge bodies versus the Mitsubishi styling.

[@JrodsGarage]

Ohio. Is it still for sale ?

[@dragontalontsiawd]

@JrodsGarage no that's why I asked. I'm in Indiana, there was a white 96 TT stealth for sale recently. Thought it was it. Looks just like it too, that pearl white. Had different rims too the moment you said it I had to ask. Was it recently re-titled?

[@issacgaitan555]

Great video boss. gained a subscriber from this 91 Dodge Stealth R/T n/a owner. also my 91 has a digital climate control like the white vr4

[@JrodsGarage]

Yep. I was going to include some 1st gen content. But didn’t have one nice. Handy. Also on the 1st gen the font on the odo itself is different. Strange. Passenger didn’t have an air bag etc

[@issacgaitan555]

@ is there a spec of stealth tt with pop ups and the "targa" top? thatd be my unicorn 3S

[@JonDoWrong]

I wanted to buy a dodge stealth 12 years ago. Every car I found was beat up or had a non turbo SOHC engine. I then bought a Chrysler Crossfire in 2016. I don't know why dodge hasn't brought back the stealth. I have only seen concepts.

[@JrodsGarage]

Crossfire srt6 were neat!

[@JonDoWrong]

@@JrodsGarage it was the limited. I couldnt sit in that car more than 2 hours before i got uncomfortable. It was still fast (155mph) and good on gas. It did ok in snow as long as you didnt have to stop.

If you call a major Mitsubishi dealership and give them the VIN number and the numbers off of the back of the radio they can get you a new code card for the radio, I had to do it with my 94 SL. Just don't bother calling any second party dealers You need to call the biggest Mitsubishi dealership in your area cause I had to physically take them the car before they would give it to me.
