Yes, it's in our genetic coding, but age isn't a factor it's most all the time. <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley36.gif border="0">

These guys are totally right, you do have a great start... just spend a little time doing odds and ends to it,a nd you have a 13sec car in no time!</P>

Yup, it can definitely be done, but its gonna definitely take more than a few odds and ends. You gotta remember, a Non-turbo 3000GT or Stealth is a mid 15 second car stock. They are just heavy as hell to be natually aspirated. But yes, it surely can become a 13 second car <IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">

 

The biggest problem I know of with a TT converted Stealth is traction. You can get all the power you need, hooking up at the track is different story though. An LSD helps quite abit, but I do not think anyone has really tried to do serious suspension upgrades for drag racing. I think the fastest FWD Stealth/3000 ran a 12.06 at 105+. Good luck with your mods. and prove that wrong wheel drive cars are not so bad<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>

The record is for a FWD 3/S is 11.8@113 mph, but that will be broken this spring, by me <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"> hehehe We are hoping to run a LOW LOW (11.0-11.3 this spring, and possiblly even crack our FWD TT into the 10's. The guy that has the record cut a 1.7 60ft when he ran his 11.8. The only traction mods he has are an LSD and he was running Mickey Thompson ET streets. I have both of those same mods, but I will also be installing the JIC Coilovers. Lower the front, raise the rear and stiffen the rear up tight as hell so it wont transfer the weight from the front off of the slicks to the rear when I launch. I am looking for 1.6-1.7 60ft's this springs.

hello, i am very new to the forum.. actually this is my first one ever! =) buuuut i figured i'de try it... i have a 1991 dodge stealth es also.. it's black. =) it's in kinda rough shape, motor wise... body looks basically flawless.... i need parts for it though... like.. orriginal peices for the cd console.. it was ripped out when i bought it.. i have a cd player to put in it... but even with that there.. there is a huge gap missing still!=\ sooo where would i beable to go to get things like that.?.?.? and also.. wat is the round about lifespan of these cars??? mines already at 151,000 miles.. i don't know how much longer it has left.. i'm planning on dropping a brand new engine into it when it dies.... soo i'm just wonderring how much longer i have =)


thnks a lot!

as for a trim pieces look at few threads where people are parting out their cars.
As for a lifespan of these cars, mine got 190k miles on it and it feels like it's going to die in about 20-50k. Some of them can run up to 300k miles but more than likily the motor would be falling apart. About 5k miles ago my motor started to run rought and louder than before. I think it's time to go from 5w-30 to good old 20w-40 that i have to use on my bird. My compression was in ok range about 30k miles ago and oil pressure is about at 30 psi(assuming the middle on the gage is 30 like other normal cars).
