If you ran into a non turbo Stealth, then yes it was a waste of fuel. 5 speeds run lower 15's and the automatics are 16 second cars.

As do you my friend.

I actually had people whom had not seen Boondock Saints think it was me in the avatar. Haha.

Now back to our regularly scheduled thread.

I would wager to say that a VR-4 Stealth was equal to the vettes of its era (mid-to-late-90's). I personally have never seen a mid 90's Taurus SHO run nothing less than mid to low 14's. I have driven several, and as a Police Officer, I have been to many driver training schools. Im not NASCAR or a professional driver, but I know how to drive a car on the street, track, or wherever the bad guy might take you (me)..I.E....fields, small streams, corn fields, pasteurs, bike paths, peoples yards...LOL. Anyway, IMO, our cars lightly modded would easily take the SHO of the 90's and the N/A Stealths. And yes, sometimes its all about the driver and not so much the automobile.

i have a buddy with a stealth...full turboback exhaust boost controller and a big front mount.....me by a fender til about 120 but i let of before then its not a top speed contest....:) but it also needs a tune the thing fukkin flies.....

check this out....stock turbos and e85 and weight reduction of course

I don't have facebook, but can tell by the link whose car is it.

I know who Austin is. His Stealth has runs 10s. I don't know what you run, but unless its low 10's you won't touch his car. When hes done with the newest build he'll be 9's easy.

nice killz
