There is luggage room.its just that half of it is under the floor. Spare wheel and organizers take uk that space, pkus small hump from the fuel tank. It could be modified relatively easily to be flat and lowered to be twice as deep.

The first gens had 300 hp but the second gen models came with 320 hp and did 0-60 in 4.6-4.8 seconds and the 1/4 mile in low 13’s. th-cam.com/video/vFEYkgOZdC4/w-d-xo.html watch this 1999 3000gt vr-4 run a 13’2 completely stock!! Thats faster that what a 350 hp Ford focus rs runs in the 1/4 mile🤭 dont sleep on those second gen Stealth tt/3000gt vr-4s
Ive been daily driving my Dodge Stealth r/t for the past 3 years to work and college. The NA models are pretty reliable and have some power lol. My friends hates me cause he spent so much on his Brz just to lose to my car that i bought for 1,000 dollars 😂
X Lets Im in Cali and picked my 95’ Dodge Stealth r/t in Los Angeles for only 1,000 dollars. JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET A MANAUL TRANSMITTION. The autos in these cars were weak but the Manuals could go well over 200,000 miles and they have some power to them too. My NA Stealth is faster than my Friends Brz with full exhaust and intake. I only chopped off the big ass muffler i had and put a 2.5 inch straight pipe and i pull on his Brz easily. Also these NA models are a lot more reliable than the Twin Turbo models. These are funs cars man 👍🏽
I have a 92TT and two 92 NA cars... Love them!! The NA cars are still potent enough to embarrass lots of cars out there, and the TT... well, the big "TWIN TURBO" on the doors scares most off but those that take on the challenge, Mustangs n such, dont have an easy time at all!!
This gave me nostalgia from when I was younger going into a garage shop looking at the stealth and viper next to a Mercedes-Benz 190e. Those DOHC were such a big deal! ... Back when you could drive a car that really FELT unique and suped up! The feeling, at the time, of BEING around sports cars was so much different from today's cars that feel like boredom, unless they are actual supercars or track cars.
People always go gaga over the 3000 GT, but almost always forget the Stealth is basically the same car. Did I see a CD player in there? That was very rare ultra high tech for '92!

Bad ass fast car, when I worked for dodge in the mid 90s I'd detail & gas up the sales managers wife's black & tan twin turbo, 0-60 in 1st gear & all just from pulling out of the gas station to go across 4 lanes. Awesome car.
Another great video Lou. When I was in mechanic school I got to work on a white 1991 model. This was 2011 and it was the first Dodge Stleath R/T that I had seen before and I really enjoyed working on that car. The owner had owned it since brand new and the car overheated and cracked the block and just couldn't get rid of it. So he found another motor for us to put in it. I really enjoyed working on that car.
Awesome car! I like '90s american sports cars. Very interesting car is Plymouth Laser RS Turbo too. It would be great to see this one on your channel;-) Perfect video as always, Lou!

It's more about my OCD than nitpicking his car, but his directional wheels are going two different directions. Either the front or the rear wheels got swapped side to side somewhere along the way, and need to be swapped back.
@@AndrewGraham07 Some things a guy just can't unlearn. I worked in a tire shop back in the days when directional wheels were the big thing. Part of my job was to notice things like this as mix matched wheels happened all the time with directional wheels and those funky different offset wheels like on the TransAm GTA's and IROCs. Most customers didn't even notice until it was pointed out, and then sometimes one would get fuming red faced mad at me for showing them lol.

Lou Costabile Yeah he was fine. The car couldn’t take the sudden turn of the freeway and hit the median. It happened some time in the 90’s and he had two people in the back which helped the car stay on the ground. My profile picture is that car before it wrecked.
The Official Pace Car for the 1991 Indy 500 was originally supposed to be the 91 Stealth Twin Turbo. After some complaints from the UAW about the use of an import to represent Dodge, the Official Pace Car duty was given instead to a 92 Dodge Viper (a pre-production car, as it was still in development at the time), not a Cadillac. It was driven by Carroll Shelby. The Stealth was redesignated as "Official Car," and was used as the backup pace car.
The blisters on the hood are probably there for pedestrian protection, adding a crucial inch or so air gap between the point of impact by an unlucky pedestrian and the “hard” strut top mount. This is a legal requirement and has prevented car designers creating really low bonnet lines...
That is not true. Like the guy said the blisters were added because the ecs struts did not clear the hood. Mitsubishi redesigned the hood in 1994 to eliminate those using integrated "humps" instead.
@@AndrewGraham07 No I dont think so. Pedestrian safety had nothing to do with the hood blisters. I don't believe there is even an inch of clearance under there. They added those blisters so the hood would clear., that's it.

his son is right. the boomerang shaped spoiler mounted at the bottom of the hatchback glass is a poor look; as are the brake lights facing skyward. like a 2003 civic had later. only to differentiate it from 3000GT. someone told me that japanese vs american badged cars: as in: conquest Tsi/cordia the agreement was made to make one have faster acceleration, and the other: boast a higher top speed. little known fact here- the only 3000GT option unavailable to the stealths was electronically adjustable front windshield tint. there was a "VR4." i'm not aware of there being 4WD stealths. fit and finish always worse than mitsubishi. didn't hold value and often wrecked by punks who got 'em used for next to nothing. i didn't know there was ONE left, until today! thanx, LOU.
Lol electronically controlled windshield tint!?? What are you talking about? Both the 3000gt and stealth were built in Nagoya Japan and have the same fit and finish. The only differences are the bumpers, headlights, taillights, sail panels and spoilers.
Some corrections to this statement: - Stealth R/T Twin Turbos and 3000GT VR-4s have identical drivetrains. Same engine and transmission, same acceleration, same top speed. - Dodge Stealths were made on the same assembly line in Nagoya, Japan by the same people as the Mitsubishi 3000 GT (known as the GTO in the rest of the world). Absolutely no difference in quality. - The Mitsubishi 3000 GT was not sold in Canada, where this Dodge Stealth is from. - There was never an "electronically adjustable front windshield tint" offered on any Stealth or 3000 GT. - All Stealth Twin Turbos were All Wheel Drive (known as AWD, not 4WD), same as the VR-4. Non-turbo models for both makes were Front Wheel Drive. - The one item that differentiated the early year 3000GT VR-4 from the Stealth R/T Twin Turbo was the (standard, not optional) active aerodynamic spoilers. The Stealth had passive aerodynamics instead; air flowed behind the outer C-pillars and across the boomerang wing that you described as "a poor look." Beauty is subjective.

Hi Herr bananhjärna Smith , Enjoy reading the details you like about this car :-) Thank you for sharing a tip on the "57 produced in 96 with 320HP, and I'll keep a look out for one. Lou
From what I remember, you couldn't get an R/T AWD in anything but a 5 speed, later 6 speed manual. If you wanted an auto, you topped out at an R/T with 222 hp. AWD and AWS was n/a with an auto. Though the body and interior were designed by Dodge, the Bloomington/Normal plant used Mistu running gear and electronics as part of the agreement by Chrysler, which was shared by the 3000. As large as these cars were overall, the interior space as fairly small except up frt. And these cars were really expensive! Though the cars could spank a Mustang GT or Camaro IROC all day in their higher opted forms, they couldn't touch sales. I remember seeing an R/T AWD in 1993 on the showroom floor at $40k.. That was more than a top Vette of the time.

92 Stealth R.T Turbo

Lol electronically controlled windshield tint!?? What are you talking about? Both the 3000gt and stealth were built in Nagoya Japan and have the same fit and finish. The only differences are the bumpers, headlights, taillights, sail panels and spoilers.
Some corrections to this statement:
- Stealth R/T Twin Turbos and 3000GT VR-4s have identical drivetrains. Same engine and transmission, same acceleration, same top speed.
- Dodge Stealths were made on the same assembly line in Nagoya, Japan by the same people as the Mitsubishi 3000 GT (known as the GTO in the rest of the world). Absolutely no difference in quality.
- The Mitsubishi 3000 GT was not sold in Canada, where this Dodge Stealth is from.
- There was never an "electronically adjustable front windshield tint" offered on any Stealth or 3000 GT.
- All Stealth Twin Turbos were All Wheel Drive (known as AWD, not 4WD), same as the VR-4. Non-turbo models for both makes were Front Wheel Drive.
- The one item that differentiated the early year 3000GT VR-4 from the Stealth R/T Twin Turbo was the (standard, not optional) active aerodynamic spoilers. The Stealth had passive aerodynamics instead; air flowed behind the outer C-pillars and across the boomerang wing that you described as "a poor look." Beauty is subjective.
nice car pretty red stealthy cool sound thanks Lou GS out

Dodge Stealth makes 300hp, not 370 or 390.

It was a Mitsubishi 3000 with a Dodge nameplate on it. Either way it was a very fast car.
Thank you Ray S for viewing and sharing :-)
Where did you get those bogus numbers from? 370hp to 390hp from a stock motor? You guys did not do your homework for this episode.
Hi Meow Chat, Thanks for sharing, Lou
Manual gearbox mmmmmm viper red and the Stealth is the better one of the two = Mitsubushi 3000. VIN = E74
1992 DODGE STEALTH R/T TWIN TURBO 4WD 2-dr liftback 3.0L V6 SFI 300hp Turbo
produced 4355. The most rare one of the same stealth as the one in the video were made in 1996 in only 57 produced with 320hp with VIN = N74.
Hi Herr bananhjärna Smith
, Enjoy reading the details you like about this car :-) Thank you for sharing a tip on the "57 produced in 96 with 320HP, and I'll keep a look out for one. Lou
From what I remember, you couldn't get an R/T AWD in anything but a 5 speed, later 6 speed manual. If you wanted an auto, you topped out at an R/T with 222 hp. AWD and AWS was n/a with an auto. Though the body and interior were designed by Dodge, the Bloomington/Normal plant used Mistu running gear and electronics as part of the agreement by Chrysler, which was shared by the 3000. As large as these cars were overall, the interior space as fairly small except up frt. And these cars were really expensive! Though the cars could spank a Mustang GT or Camaro IROC all day in their higher opted forms, they couldn't touch sales. I remember seeing an R/T AWD in 1993 on the showroom floor at $40k.. That was more than a top Vette of the time.

Dodge saved Mitsubishi at that time. Japan was in a recession and was going broke
