3kgt or stealth

[youngvr4]

its all about looks, though i'm more for the 3000gt than the stealth, sometimes those stealths look really really bad ass!! its a close one imo
only when it comes to the turbo versions

[Stealthee]

No love for my bastard Stealth? :sad:

[planet_keeper]

might be a little off topic but i remember someone swearing that the stealth was alot better than the 3000gt because when he played forza the stealths were a full class higher than 3000gt's. i checked it out and it was true and i wondered why... turns out forza lists the weight of the TT stealth at like 3100lbs. minor discrepancy, lol.

[vectorspecialist]

yea it was me that played forza and said it was a whole class higher, but if u reduce the weight to around the same on the vr4, it becomes the same performance, but still for some reason cant lap laguna seca as quickly.
tho i never recall saying that they were a whole lot better in real life, just in the game.
tho granted i did buy the stealth in real life because it was the best b class car in stock form in the game, stupid reason, but hell, i'm not pissed off at the car, i enjoy it

2nd gen Stealth tail lights FTW. First gens its equal to me *unless we bring in the Euro front end then the stealth doens't hold a snowballs chance in hell* 2nd gen Bout equal i like both the bumpers the 3kgt looks beter dropped down. But what i really like is the hybird when you start mixing gens of the 3/s but to each his own.

Well, if I were buying a first gen then I would buy a Stealth because I like the looks better. If I were buying a second gen then I would get a 3000GT based on looks. The weight difference is probably because the Stealth doesn't have acctive aero. However, I've heard that the banana spoiler provides more downforce. Also, a Stealth will cost you less than a comparative 3000GT.

i go with wat i like, performance, drivability(to stiff sux, to soft sux), then looks.
i dont like the first gen headlights, especially on the stealth, ne other color than black they stand out way to much, i believe in conformity, one color. tho i must say they shine like no other
o i've got a ?, do all 3kg's have active aero, or just the vr4? i was looking at my friends 99 sl, and it looked like it did, but i couldnt tell.

[Dreamspawn]

Not all years had it i think 97 is when they cut it off. Since the hoop and 99 spoilers dont like like they are gonna move any. Also the stealths didn't have AWS * think some years did not sure and to lazy to look up*

All the first gen Stealth R/T TTs have AWS. I think they took that out of the second gens at one point.

[Stealthee]

95 and 96 RT/TT didnt have AWS. All VR4s had AWS though.

found that...didnt really explain about the ridge, but you can see how at "normal" highway speeds (the 2 pics are for 90mph and 125 mph), the air aff the roof would hit just behind the ridge.

cool stuff if you havnt seen this site b4. I think its amazing that while the AA system increases downforce and balances the forces on the car, the coefficient of drag is actually reduced. those guys at mitsu sure as hell did a good job.

The coefficient is the same, it is not reduced

that was it!

i was at the dealership the other day picking up a wheel center cap, and i was looking at his CAPS vehicle code cheat sheet, and i only saw chassis codes Z11A and Z16A. i was sure there was a Z15A chassis code for years w/o the AWS.

so it was only the stealth TT, years 95-96 that did NOT have AWS. so it makes sense that that chassis code would not be on a MITSU vehicle cheat sheet (although CAPS does include the Z15A option in the program itself).

mitsu found better ways oif making the car turn then using 4ws, that and it's something that's really just there to show mitsu can play with porsche's and lambo in terms of handling.
aws wasnt something that was an answer for something no1 ever asked. which has still got me as to y the gtr is still using it. it'll b the only sports car with it that i know of.
aws phased out in late 94, b4 producing the 95 model yr for the stealth. i own a stealth, i've never really looked at a 3000gt b4 nor have i looked up nething aobut it, other than the things that r the same.
o and y r the stealth's cheaper than a comparitive 3kgt?
i've never gotten it, anyone looking for one knows mitsu built the car, so it's not like dodge reliability.

[Dreamspawn]

The best way i can put it is that one has a dodge body the other mitsu and to ppl that means alot.
