We got a lot of feedback on the newest addition to the garage my white dodge stealth. I think it’s time we go over some of the differences between the legendary Mitsubishi 3000gt and the dodge stealth, while they may be close to the same cars… they’re not! If you’re looking at the Dodge Stealth versus the Mitsubishi 3000GT, then the first question you might have is why (and how) Mitsubishi and Dodge wound up working together in the first place.
The answer to this question has its origins back in the 1970, when the Chrysler Corporation (which controls the Dodge brand) took a 15% ownership stake in Mitsubishi Motors, which was looking to expand overseas. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Mitsubishi began to manufacture and distribute a number of cars through this partnership, which were sold under the Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth brands. In 1985 – in response to growing tensions between Mitsubishi and Chrysler around market share and import quotas – the two partners incorporated ‘Diamond-Star’ Motors (the name reflecting Mitsubishi’s three-diamond logo, and the Pentastar of Chrysler). Diamond-Star motors would go on to produce a number of “joint venture” cars such as the Mitsubishi Eclipse, also sold as the Plymouth Laser and Eagle talon. Another popular example was the Mitsubishi Galant, which was initially produced in Japan but in the early 1990s North American production shifted to Diamond-Star Motors’ production facility in Normal, Illinois. It is through this Diamond-Star Motors partnership that the Dodge Stealth came to be.
