Hurricane, Utah, United States

Completely stock and original, well maintained, enthusiast owned (he even bought another one), two long-term owners, 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo AWD with a hole in the #6 piston (we scoped it). It runs and drives and can be driven safely onto a trailer. It even comes with the original window sticker (see pics). Back in the day these were referred to as the Swiss Army Knife of cars because they had everything... 320 horsepower, twin turbos, all wheel drive, etc. As the years have gone by they are now becoming collector cars (especially original, unmodified examples like this one).

Running gear is in great shape other than the hole in the piston. It was a very well cared for daily driver until then. Brakes work great, it shifts smoothly, steers well and does everything the way you would expect from a well maintained, enthusiast owned Stealth R/T Twin Turbo. Engine does not overheat. There is no oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil. Repair the engine and you've got an awesome ride.

Exterior is completely stock and original including paint. Body is in excellent, rust free, accident free condition. It has some pitting on the hood from freeway driving. Paint has faded slightly on some of the red and black plastic surfaces (see pics). I think a good wax and buff would take care of a lot of it. That's the downside of spending most of it's life in a dry, desert climate. Tires are newer Michelin's.

Interior has aged well. Leather (a very desirable option) is good other than portions of the front seats which could stand to be dyed. Driver side left lumbar support is the only real upholstery flaw and it's confined to one panel (see pics). Interior components work properly other than AC (fan blows but it needs to be charged). Defrost vent grills have minor heat-related warpage. All gauges work. SRS light stays on. Stereo is the original and desirable high-end Option Group B unit and works well.

This is a great, all original Stealth Twin Turbo. If you are mechanically inclined this could be a very cost-effective way to get into one of the best Japanese GT cars of the 1990's. I hope it finds a home with someone who is a fan of AWD Twin Turbo Stealth's and her Mitsubishi sister-ship, the 3000GT VR4.

My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have additional pictures that show every nook and cranny in detail. Send me your email address and I'll get them to you. This sweet 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo AWD is located in the dry, desert community of Hurricane, Utah (a little over 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Thank you very much for your interest.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.

Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.

Dodge idles Viper production again at Conner Avenue

Mon, 07 Jul 2014

You've got to hand it to Dodge for having the gumption to put the original Viper into production in the first place. It was, after all, much more of an emotional decision than a practical one, and a move which saw the first production V10 engine placed in a road car - long before the advent of the Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi R8, Porsche Carrera GT or Lexus LFA, not to mention the other Ford, BMW and Volkswagen Group models that used such engines.
It's now been 22 years since the first Viper entered production and the Viper still rolls on several generations later, but we're sad to say that courageous decision has not always been met with overwhelming sales success. In fact parent Chrysler was forced to idle the Conner Avenue plant where the Viper is made back in April due to slow sales. And while production resumed again as planned on June 23, it apparently didn't do the trick.
As a result, Chrysler corporate communications chief Shawn Morgan revealed to Autoblog that the assembly line has been shut down again for another two weeks. The line was up and running for nearly two full work weeks from June 23 until the holiday weekend that started on Thursday, July 3. But instead of coming back online today as planned, it's been idled again for the weeks of July 7 and 14. That means it will be July 21, at the earliest, before the serpentine supercars start slithering down the assembly line at Conner Avenue again. Once it does, however, production is set to resume at the same pace it was before the shutdown.
