Stealth RT/TT Vs. Camaro SS.

While we were out in Colorado Neutrino and I headed out with some friends to go cruising. Neutrino rode with one of other friends and his dad in a 1965 Plymouth Cuda with a 340, a tricked out tranny, and 4:10 gears in the back.
It is a bitching car.
Anyhow, one of my other friends let me drive his 1991 Stealth RT/TT. He has let me drive it before, but he had modded it since then. He has a full three-inch Borla exhaust, downpipe, upgraded turbos, and he's running 12 PSI I think. I'm not to sure of the specifics. Anyways, we head out and there isn't much going on and towards the end of the night I got lucky. At a stoplight a Camaro SS pulls up next to me. He kept inching up so I get ready to go. I didn't launch and he got the hole shot but I caught him in second and had two cars on him by third. We hit another light and same things again; he didn't seem to learn his lesson the first time. We hit a third light and this time I'm not giving the hole shot and launch the car at about 4,000 RPM. I easily put five cars on him before I shut it down. After that he didn't want any more action.
It was a sweet race and that Stealth is one badass car. He said he might sell it since he bought a Mustang Cobra. I would love to buy it but I don't have the money or the room.

I wish, the Vision isn't worth crap and the Stealth is worth close to seven grand. I would if I didn't still owe money on the Vision. Perhaps he'll still have when I do have the money, but I doubt it.

LOL!!!
He was with me while I was driving it. Hell, I hadn't been launching because I didn't know if he was alright with that. I only launched on the thir go because he asked why I was letting him get the hole shot. :iceslolan

We did, from a roll, and we lost. :icon16:
I should have known better. However, that Cuda has a lot of work, then again so does the Stealth. My friends dad thinks from a dead stop it would be a pretty close race. The Stealth would get the hole shot, but I think the Cuda would take him by about a car and half or a car length. However, the friend's dad plans to drop in a 360 this summer or next summer with a 727 transmission. I can't wait to take a ride in it.

Nice kill. An SS is a tough car to take from a roll. :)

Actually we went with the Cuda from a roll. We took the SS all three times from a dead stop. We would have eaten him from a roll though cause' that Cuda would have eaten the SS as well.

Heh I just finally put in 4.10 gears in my S-10. Not as fast as I was expecting but still quite a damn difference.

Great job with the kills Polygon, i love when you give a solid repeat performance right after wiping the pavement with people!
Why are you keeping the old GTC around? I thought you'd have yanked all the good stuff off it and put it on the new one?

Depends on the turbo upgrade, could have been 15G, 16G, killer 17G turbo upgrades or some others. Still the car should be fast as hell. Even with just the 15G turbo upgrade, his car could see mid to low 12s.

Thanks.
I need to see what is left off the old LeBaron. I bought what I thought I could use for the 1990 GTC, but now that I sold that and have another 1989 GTC I could use a lot more. I'm going to give them a call this weekend. :)

Exactly, should be. However, he will not take my advice and replace his stock injectors and get the damn thing tuned. I keep telling him it would make a lot more power if he would get that done.

Too bad I don't think he does. He seems to like his new Cobra a lot more and I would take his Stealth anyday over his Cobra. It is a hell of a lot more fun to drive.
BTW, here is a picture of the Cuda and the Stealth:

Yeah, I know you said you weren't sure about all of the Stealth's upgrades, but as youngvr4 said, with larger turbos, injectors and a fuel pump upgrade are necessary. As well, it is possible he could run more than 12 psi. With a boost controller, he should try 14.5psi, then maybe you could take the Cuda. Regardless, nice kill on the SS, and again, that would be sweet if you got that Stealth, I guarentee you'd love it.

Hey Polygon,
that Stealth looks great and all stock...but please, tell your friend to get rid of that dinky spoiler and it will look better! Other than that, very clean and fast sounding car

No, I don't think it is. Too bad we can't tell from his crap Autometer A/F gauge. It just seems to like to bounce back and forth. I think he would get a good wideband setup as well. He just doesn't want to listen to me.
By the way, sweet pics! I look forward to when you've stripped what you can off the old one and put it on this new one! The mighty LeBaron shall ride again!
:ylsuper:
Yes it shall, as soon as I get new tires, brakes, suspension, and perhaps a new exhaust it will ride again. I do need to fix the pesky overboost cut.

He does have a boost controller, but I believe that 12 is the most he can run on the stock injectors before going lean so he sticks it at 12 PSI. If he would just get wideband, bigger injectors, and get the thing tuned he could run more boost and make a hell of a lot more power to the wheels but my advice falls on deaf ears. :disappoin

I actually like how that thing looks, but it might look better without one at all. I'm seriously thinking about buying it from him. I just need to talk him into holding onto it for me. :biggrin:
