My story:
I bought my first Dodge Stealth R/T TT in 2002 (the red one). I upgraded many things on it, including the 99' 3000GT front-end conversion, but alas in 2003 I threw the timing belt at Hot Import Nights in Chicago. The belt got thrown because the lightened crankshaft pulley wobbled off. So, needless to say, I'll never install one of those again unless they have a harmonic balancer.
So, fast forward 5 1/2 years to October 2008. I picked up this beauty in Michigan, and it has the same wheels that I had on my first Stealth, so that was kinda cool. The biggest thing that I liked here was that this Stealth had already been upgraded to TD05 16G Turbos with some of the supporting hardware. It's definitely a better starting point (for me) than stock. So, maybe some day I'll take her down to the track for some fun! :)
