What happens when the world-beating technology of a Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo is mixed with brute power? You get a sinister MoPar sensation that, thanks to $50K worth of modifications and 506 dyno-proven wheel horsepower, will literally make you smile every time you hit the open road! BODYWORK/TRIM Featuring a host of top-notch performance upgrades, this 1-owner coupe takes X”?go fastX”? and turns it all the way up to X”?SCARY FASTX”?! A quick check of the car’s undercarriage reveals no evidence of major rust or abuse. A quick check of its VIN certifies its body has never seen any major repairs. A quick check of our pictures confirms its glossy Anaconda Green paint, which, as Chrysler aficionados will recall, was a 1-year only Viper pigment, is both glossy and deep. And a quick reference to other R/TTTs of this vintage highlights a host of subtle mods, including a fiberglass Cianci hood, carbon fiber rocker extensions, shaved rocker lettering and a custom X”?GTSX”? valance emblem. ENGINE This Dodge’s Mitsubishi-designed, twin-turbo powertrain, serviced and tuned by Chris Hill of Ninja Performance of Mount Croghan, South Carolina, benefits from quite a few notable upgrades. Beefier TDO4 19T turbos can, thanks to a Greddy Profec B Spec II Black controller, hit either 12 or 20 psi of boost on the fly. Those turbos are kept in check via DN Performance hard pipes and custom DSM side-mount intercoolers. Air flows through polished Dejon pipes, which terminate in proven K&N filters. An AEM water/methanol injection system helps prevent detonation. And, deeper in the cycle, spry MSD ignition jives with Precision Turbo injectors, which are piped to a high-flow fuel supply via tough AN fittings. High quality ancillaries, like a Turbosmart dual port blow off valve and HKS Twin Power ignition amplifier, round out the all-star modifications. And everything rides between a full array of 3SX mounts, a polished 3SX plenum and mirrored 3SX accent covers. DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION An enhanced take on factory specifications, this Stealth utilizes a 3SX Stage 4 Plus clutch to kick a 5-speed R&R transaxle, which engages an 18-spline hardened steel output and fresh, 3-piece driveshaft to command full-time all-wheel drive. That all-wheel drive system, which is fitted with stainless 3SX front and mid transfer cases, provides catapult-like acceleration in any weather; especially when the boost is set to high! The car’s factory 4-wheel steering has been disabled in favor of simple power assist. A stainless Tanabe exhaust system makes good use of a stainless 3SX down pipe and deleted catalytic converters. The car’s 4-wheel independent suspension, which has been lowered 1.5 inches, features Tein springs, large Saner sway bars, OEM struts and 3SX camber control arms. Stops come courtesy of powder-coated, 4-piston calipers, which squeeze four Power Slot rotors. And torque meets the pavement through a sweet set of SSR GT1s, which spin 265/35R18 Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1s around black chrome spokes. INTERIOR The coupe’s black and gray cockpit, which presents a cool contrast to its glossy exterior, displays exactly the amount of wear you’d expect of a well kept, 45K-mile classic. The 6-way power driver’s seat keeps you as comfortable for quick jaunts as it does for long road trips; and the passenger and rear buckets are clean and pliable. In front of the driver, a dramatic dash, which shows zero defects, is packed full of gauges and instruments that work exactly as they should. Aftermarket A-pillar gauges, automated climate control and a factory Ultimate Sound system mix feedback, comfort and entertainment. And between the aforementioned seats, a crack-free console anchors a NOPI short-throw shifter on clean carpet that’s stretched under aluminum S3X pedal covers and thick, X”?STEALTHX”? branded floor mats. If you’re an enthusiast who likes to put your metal to the pavement, few classics deliver the blend of performance and versatility of a twin-turbo Stealth; especially a twin-turbo Stealth that’s packing 506 wheel horsepower!
