Mitsubishi and Chrysler were good friends and interchanged parts a lot. The 3000GT and the Stealth are exactly the same; they rolled off the same assembly lines. The only difference is the body, that's it. In fact the Dodge Avenger is a Mitsubishi with Dodge badges.

But Whitebread let me remind you that Chrysler practically owns Mitsubishi since they have 85% of the voting stock. Calling the Stealth a ricer wannabe is stupid, and you obviously have no idea what the term ricer really means.

I love my Dodge Stealth, and it is no ricer, nor a ricer wanna-be. Just because a car is made in japan doesn't mean it is a ricer. You don't see any stealths or 3000gt's running around with altezza's or clear tail lights and crap like that. And the comment on the tail-lights is going to have to be a little more specific, as there are two different tail-light set ups, one on the corners, one across the whole back (RT and ES/base respectively). My car is not even a TT and its still quick as hell, especially for being NA.

now wait a minute. does chrysler own 85% of mitsu? i thought japanese law said that a foreign company could not own a majority of a japanese company?

thats why GM only owns 49% of isuzu...

Gee, I find it hard to have any opinion of the Stealth's styling, positive or negative; it's just there .

In non-aesthetic terms, it might be a decent car, I have no idea -- I've just simply accepted the stereotype that they're a hi-complexity Camaro-wannabe that'll soak your bank account dry with repair bills.

The stealth is teh exact same car as teh 3000GT other than the lighting and badges. Personally, the stealth looks less tacky to me, because the scoops on it don't have fake ribbing on them, like the 3000 does:



Sorry, but this isn't an ugly rycer wannabe.



The rear spoiler came from the wind tunnel tested Chrysler/Lamborghini Portofino concept car.

I agree with you Chris, I prefer the Stealth. Th eone you pictured looks exactly like one of my friends R/T TT Stealths with aftermarket wheels. I love the wing on the Stealth as well.

And yes Chrysler owns about 85% of Mitsubishi. If you can prove me wrong, by all means, do.

Yeah, kinda hard to refute stereotypes -- like, who do you argue with?

Funny, I just saw this posted this AM at Miata.net:
"3000GT = Japanese Camaro (as in large, heavy, and powerful)"

Granted, 3000GT and not Stealth, although the distinction might be lost on non-owners.

I like em' quite a bit myself. Their nice sleeper cars too. Nobody knows alot about them, so...
Did ya'll know they made a fourth Smokey&TheBandit movie & it had a TT Stealth instead of a Firebird. It was a made for tv movie so it's kinda hard to find however.

What are you talking about it is a wanna-be ricer? You are retarded, for one thing I'll agree with you that the spoiler is hella ugly and the rims are ugly but that can all be changed. One thing I wanna make clear is that if it is a wanna be ricer and the 3000 gt is one then why is a stealth faster than the 3000gt? And the fact that it has the dodge name makes it even better cause im proud to have an american made car and to support our workers. So, do you think that a 3000gt is a ricer wanna be cause if so how can a stealth have the exact same engine and everything the same exept difference in the trim and spoiler, rims, lights, but be a wanna be of the other one. and dodge and mitsubishi went together in the project because in the late 80's mitsubishi was being beaten in the car world by some other japanese company,( cant remember what) and they tried making a car to beat it but it turned out gay. and dodge was being beaten by the mustang or camaro or something, so they went together to make the car idiot.

dude ive never heard anything about a stealth relating to a camaro in any way, so is a 3000gt a camaro wanna be too? and if thats it then you know how many cars can be related to others. you say ( large, heavy and powerful ) ok well then you can go through every car ever made and say ( light, fast , and powerful ) or anything and a 3000gt weighs more anyways
