Default Stunna in a Stealth R/T Slapped...

He was slapped repeatedly on the highway. Mods are in the sig. I don't know what was wrong with this car. I think a properly maintained one may have hung better. This was a slaughter. We got on the highway, he tried to do a flyby, so at 60mph, I dropped into 2nd and walked him pretty hard through most of 3rd. After I slowed down to about 80 I let him get along side of me, and waited for him to go. I let him put about a car on me as I dropped into 3rd. Pulled him hard again. He kept getting up next to me and trying. Finally after the 4th or 5th time I let him go. The driver's side exhaust on his car was smoking black at certain times, and a lovely burning oil blue at others. Also it was backfiring randomly under WOT. Normally after one beating like that I'd let him go his own way, but he kept riding right along side of me motioning me to go...with his stupid visor on upside down and sideways.

Could be. He may have actually been trying to race. I've had stranger things happen...Like an AWD turbo Eclipse that was bone stock. He wanted to race and insisted on a highway roll. I said, highway roll??? Uhhh OK.

With your mods, it's not surprising you walked him. It might not have been a twin turbo either though. I've seen dyno numbers from a stock Stealth R/T TT to be around 240 awhp; you have 346. AWD drivetrain loss sucks, which is why I'm in search of an LS1.

I wasn't quite sure what they ran. A little bit ago I dug around and found out they weren't as impressive as I remember them as a kid. Hey at least I had fun, and the Z got to stretch it's legs. Finding people to play with around here are few and far in between.
