Im not saying N/T's are better, VR-4's are awesome. But If you can't afford a VR-4 your still getting a great looking car with a 222hp V6.Originally posted by DSMSpyder99
getting a non-turbo 3000GT/Stealth is like saying im gonna buy an N/T over a turbo E/L/T. You will be much happier getting a turbo 3000GT/Stealth over an N/T

Stealths and 3kgt's are AMAZING cars. They have AWD, AWS (all wheel steering), ECS(electronically controlled suspension...push a button and the shocks firm up), electronically controlled exhaust...push a button and the exhaust gets loud or quiet and, of course, they are TWIN TURBO!!!
Out of all the sports cars that I have owned (90 IROC Camaro with 383 stroker, 98 TA with the LS1, full bolt-ons, and a 150 shot of NOS, 91 Stealth TT stock, and my eclipse...the stealth has been the most fun and HANDLED the best. I have driven new corvettes and about every other car out there and the stealth is second only to my uncles 98 Ferrari 355 when it comes to handling.
The only problem i had with my twin-turbo stealth was the transmission. If you plan on doing alot of launches then you better plan on getting a second job. I broke mine 3 times in one year. They cost $2300 for a rebuilt one and TRUST ME no one in your town can rebuild them. I took my transmission to 3 different shops(the rest wouldn't work on it) and each one gave the car back to me once they got into the transmission. All in all they kick eclipses A$$!!! BUT are much more expensive to mod. You can get a stealth TT or a VR4 for around $6500 but just MAKE SURE the transmission is OK or you will be calling Kormex transmissions out of California.
Sorry for the extremely long post, I just figured you would be interested in knowing more about something you might be spending a great deal of money on. If you have any questions about stealths or 3kgt's let me know, i know a good bit about them.
Here are some of my previous toys:
