Today on the show we're featuring Josh's 1992 Dodge Stealth Twin Turbo R/T. While it's not a sports car we lust after for it's looks or how nimble it is in the corners, we can appreciate the underpinnings of a Japanese car that was truly ahead of its time in many different ways. Also known as the Mitsubishi 3000GT or the Mitsubishi GTO (in Japan), the Stealth R/T was, in certain ways, America's answer to the unstoppable JDM surge of the 90s. The truth is, here in North America we just weren't ready for it. With a twin turbo V6 under the hood, AWD, active aero (on the GTO and 3000GT top models), and all-wheel steering, it's unfortunate the market just wasn't quite ready for what it had to offer the enthusiasts of that time. Enjoy!

My neighbor has one. He ordered it brand new , it's got every option he could get on it , bright red with 21k on it. It's never seen rain or snow and always in a heated garage. This lasted longer than his marriage he boasts lol. Since new it gets inspected and a full service every year , even if he doesn't drive it that year but he usually takes a drive along the Niagara Parkway to Niagara falls Canada and back again to fort Erie and back inside it goes once or twice a year.

I’ll never forget driving one of these when they first came out back in the early 90’s. My girls dad was a finance manager for the local Dodge dealership and brought one home one weekend. He let us take it out that Saturday for the day. I carved up the Tail of the Dragon or US HWY 129 since I live 20 mins from it and drove the piss out of that car all day and most of the night. I remember it feeling like a Ferrari to me at the time,lol!! It was one of the first truly fast cars I ever drove as a teenager. This video brought back those memories. Thanks!

Sweet ride. Got my Blue 92 R/T TT in 97 and still have it to this day. Never seen rain nor snow. Had very few issues with it and the issues I had was caused by bad mechanics. I added a Greddy boost controller and got 24.2 PSI out of the stock turbos. Unfortunately I cannot use its full potential until the fuel system is upgraded. And yes, I barely get out of 3rd gear. LOL

The Non Turbos are a good buy too, especially as TTs become increasingly rarer and more expensive. Ive owned multiple examples of both.. They are quite a bit lighter in weight, and respond well to basic mods, and are very fun to drive and toss around despite being a large fwd car. Plenty of people have converted them to AWD TT too.

The difference between the 91-93 and 94-96 engine is the 20hp they added. The 91-93 engine has a boost control solenoid with a plug in it limiting the boost to 9lbs giving it 300hp. All they did for the 94-96 engine was remove the plug and the boost went from 9lbs to 12lbs boost. That gives the engine the extra 20hp making it 320hp total. This was planned from the beginning. I have white 1991 currently and it was seen in Regular Car Reviews. And it wasn't fragile.

In 1993, I bought a slightly used 1992 green Twin Turbo. I had it up to 162.5 mph on the Trans Canada Highway just east of Calgary Alberta at 5:30 am. It was cold, windy, and slightly snowing. My girlfriend and a bicycle and our suitcases were in the car. It would have gone quicker on a nice day. It accelerated hard until I shifted into 3rd gear. The car did not feel cross winds. A heavy car. The car did not do well on sharp bends as it suffered from understeer. It did have traction and it was hard to spin the wheels.

The Dodge Stealth (in 1991 at its release) was (in my honest opinion) the most bad ass car on the market! The tech: AWD, AWS, Twin Turbo, Twin intercoolers, DOHC 24valve, (twin cam, 4 valve heads), cockpit adjustable suspension, cockpit adjustable EXHAUST (Sport/Tour), ABS, full time limited slip (viscous coupling), and the list goes on and on. The digital climate control A/C was really neat, and it's honestly the most comfortable car I've ever owned and driven.

Just watching the intro, never press the brake pedal if you are going "a bit quick" past a police officer. Assuming you aren't being followed closely by someone else, just drop down a gear, and pull the hand-brake on slowly to decrease speed without bringing the brake lights on. If you brake, the police know that you know you were going too fast. Also reduces the amount of "nose down" you get too, because the front brakes don't get involved.

In Canada it all started with the 1987 caravan with that engine! The 3.0 was replacing the optional Mitsubishi 2.6L 110hp and 140ish ft/lbs with a smooth 3.0 sohc 12v v6 and power was bumped to 141 hp, and torquto 173 lb/ft i think,..not 100% sure. standard powertrain were now a Chrysler built balance shaft 2.5, 4cyl 100 hp and 3.0. The stealth engine added DOHC 12 V HEADS and twin turbos,....crazy 320hp ,..over doubling the power of that 3.0L block. Man, that Mitsubishi 3.0 was used every wherrrrrrre,..everywhere,...starting in 1987 dodge vans, dynasty, spirit, newyorker, Daytona dodge shadow ES and that the affiliated Chryslers like Plymouth and Chrysler variants. Hyundai Sonatas, kia cars, of course Mitsubishi's V6 .Good engine, but had oil burning issues, usually it was just valve seals. sometimes rings.

To the two guys that did this review: I agree with 99% of what you guys said...and these cars are an incredibly good investment as prices are climbing (almost daily) on them. One thing you got wrong was the boost levels: Factory (bone stock) *peak boost* is: *9psi* for the 1991-1993 (first gen) models (which is what you have here in this video). Therefore, the 1991-1993 Stealth TT and 91-93 VR-4's had 300hp stock. The 1994-1996 Stealth R/T Turbo and 94-99 VR-4 (which had the 6 speed transmission) got a peak boost of 12psi. (which was a 20hp increase....i.e. 320hp). One other point to note: I have a poster up on my wall (factory advertisement from Dodge back in 1991) which showed the factory 0-60 on these cars was 0-60 in 4.9 seconds! That may not seem fast by today's standards...but back in 1991 that was MOVING!

I had that car go up to a 165mph. I absolutely loved this car. The only down down side was the timing belt, the dealer back in 2004 wanted $4k to change it. I ended up doing it myself cinsidering the belt was only $110 but i had to jack the engine up about 1' to get enough room to change it. It took me a weekend to get it done.

It's same-phase steering so as others mentioned, it's meant to be used at higher speeds for things like high speed lane changes or sudden slalom-type moves to avoid something. The car kind of 'crab walks'; the slight rear end steer makes the car feel like it's stepping sideways. Goes a long to preventing oversteer incidents at speed.

There's a lot of errors in this video. For example the early cars rated at 300 hp ran around 9 psi. I'm not aware of anyone who recommends unplugging the boost control solenoid, however there is a restrictor in one of the ports on the boost control solenoid which is often removed. This increases boost to 12 psi which is what the later model cars had, and thus produces the rated 320 hp of those model years more or less. Additionally, the touring setting on the suspension defaults to sport when certain driving conditions are met, for example heavy braking. So the amount the nose dives under heavy braking won't change between sport and touring.

Thanks for the video; loved it! Question for those familiar with stealths: I'm close to buying one but I need a bit of advice. 93 rt twin turbo with 182xxx KMs (I live in Ontario, Canada). It starts and runs but not perfectly at the moment. What happened was the owner is a customer of a mechanic and stored the car at a mechanic's garage. Over the winter some mice got into the engine and chewed up some wires. Car still runs and drives but not terribly smooth given the wires being chewed. Mechanic says it ran perfectly before the mice got in. Owner bought it previously for $3500 and is looking to get $2000 for it currently. Given the chewed wire situation, even though $2000 is quite cheap, is this even fixable or is it going to be a nightmare? If it didn't start/run I wouldn't even consider it but I trust this mechanic that it ran perfectly before (again not the mechanic's car, he's just storing it outside for the car's owner). Any advice is much appreciated!

dan If someone can see the chewed wires, they can repair the color coded wires. I suspect a different problem. I have an almost mint 92 R/T TT and after sitting in my garage over the winter it started, but wasn't drivable due to ECU failure. These cars have 3 computer units (ECU, climate control and electronic controlled suspension) and all of them had leaky capacitors. Electronics is a hobby of mine so I was able to repair the failed ECU and failed climate control with higher quality components to better than new condition. I rebuilt the ECS module before it failed and I caught it in time before the leaky caps corroded the circuit board. My point is that you should expect to address the bad capacitor issue in these cars. If it is done before the corrosive electrolyte damages the PCB or other components it's much less time consuming. The ECU was $1600 several years ago, but it's a relatively easy fix (even if a person only knows how to desolder and solder electronics components) if it is done before the PCB gets damaged. If the computer fails you will need someone competent enough to repair the PCB and make sure all of the corrosive electrolitic fluid is cleaned off the board to prevent future problems (corrosion). Considering that Stealths have gone up in price lately, I would say that a $2000 R/T TT would likely be a nightmare. Maybe not, but very likely.

It's a cool car if everything is working properly , but the vast majority don't fit into that category . The main reason that they aren't easy to work on and reliable , is that they are based on or are front wheel drive . And transmission behind engine rear wheel drive is inherently easier to work on and less problematic to start with .

@@keithharrison3636 It's a FWD architecture with RWD 'tacked on', ie a transverse-mounted engine with a transaxle (transmission and differential combined). The rear transfer case is just a PTO sending power to the back wheels. Same idea as say a Honda CRV, basically a Civic with rear drive components added on. Doesn't make it a bad car, but undeniably nose-heavy like a FWD car as much of the powertrain weight is in front of the front axle. A RWD architecture with AWD tends to have a better weight balance and is set up very differently.
