1995 Dodge Stealth TT 25k original miles - To mod or not?

i would keep it bone stock and focus on getting it to 100% showroom condition and buy another 3s to mod, if i had the money to buy a 25k mile TT.

To be honest with you nothing, there is not one thing rusted. The car is MINT never seen rain or snow and 60K I did when i got the car

So far JasonY's list is right on par with better perfomance, but a very comfortable car you can hop in start right up and just drive.

I would do all the supporting mods before the turbos if i decide to go DR750's

These cars are mind numbingly boring stock, have poor brakes and a poor suspension and insufficient intercooling for hard use. Which gets me back to my original information. Address the weak points of the car without really altering "what" the car is, only making it a whoooooooole lot better with a few simple mods. Are the Brembo brakes cheap? hell no, will i ever drive one of these cars w/o a BBK, unlikely willingly, if you have the means, its one of the best upgrades you can do. So on and so forth.....

I think i'm just going to stay away from turbos for now and just do what you told me

Sounds perfect. I'd follow Jason's advice. Upgrade the outdated hardware and enjoy it! We'd all love to see pics.

I found myself in the same position as you when I got my Stealth

94 25,xxx miles when I bought it. Later found out it was most likely Hennessey tuned to stage 4. With what people are accomplishing now I realize this doesn't mean much other than having a unique piece of automotive history.

As I learned what could be done to the 3s platform I was ready to TONS of money that would of ended up making the car more of a track car not DD.

Widebody fenders, C/F hood, Tien Flex w/EDIC, ect.

Thankfully my best friend help me see reason and none of that will happen. I know where I want to take the car now and I have started that path.

I am glad you are keeping the car true to its original style and addressing the week point of the car like Jason addressed.

Have you posted pics?
