you can't be serious?!?!

it's about as much dodge as my Geo Prizm is a Chevrolet (as it's titled). or my Dodge D-50 is a dodge. The only dodge on my D-50 is the emblem that says "Dodge"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_GTO
The Mitsubishi GTO is a sports car built by Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors between 1990 and 2001, although in most export markets it was rebadged as a Mitsubishi 3000GT. It was also sold by Chrysler in North America as a Dodge Stealth captive import from the 1991 to 1996 model years with only minor detail/appearance differences. It took its name from the Galant GTO, a two-door hardtop coupé sold by the company in the early 1970s.

The Dodge Stealth is merely a re-badged Mitsubishi 3000.
Engine, suspension, transmission, body design, are all done by Mitsubishi (and most parts are branded as such also).

the dodge stealth is the mitsubishi 3000gt. all trim levels. the gto is the same as the rt with the dohc na engine, the vr4 is the same as the twin turbo. mitsu built these cars for dodge, changed the styling and slapped a dodge sticker on it. and bingo we have the dodge stealth. this is honestly the only reason i bought this car because i never myself would own a dodge lol

it may be a dodge, buts is heart and soul is mitsubishi. a lot of heart and soul powerd the American mini van + daytonas, dynasty, ect, until dodge could build a better v/6 than the mitsubishi V/6.

Jap engine, American transmison, and chrysler automatics could not handel the jap engine... in the bread and butter mini van.

That is the ONLY thing Dodge about it. Internals, external, country of manufacture is all Mitsu. About the only thing Dodge did to the vehicle was change the design of the plastic cladding.
