Roush Ran a Stealth RT TT Questions???

[sy1172]

I ran a Dodge Stealth RT Twin Turbo tonight from 50 to approx. 130 and I must say I am very surprised how well he hung on. Granted, I don't know what kind of mods he had but it looked stock (couldn't hear it over the Bassani ). These things that fast? I was slightly (just slightly) pulling on him third through forth but as soon as I hit fifth he was catching up (120-130ish). With my set up I assume I am around 400hp +- a few so he did well assuming stock at 300hp for him.

Thoughts?

Be happy you didn't run from a stop with him stepping off the clutch at 6000 rpms

AWD would be a killer for sure. With tune ability in the form of handheld equipment, boosted cars can make quite a jump from adding timing, fuel, etc with such gadgets. If he stayed with you, he has mods for sure. Those things weigh almost 4000 lbs too without driver

You're closer to +/- 350rwhp. So with the stang added weight ... he may have a chance...

I was talking horsepower at the crank, not the wheels. What does 350rwhp equate to at the crank (what's the loss)?

Sy, flywheel hp is irrelevant.

15% loss is how it usually works, but when someone describes a flywheel number it's likely a guesstimate, when they use Rear wheel, it's likely been on a dyno for real proof.

If he hung with you that well, his car was worked, they are slow from a roll, and even in the quarter they are mid 14 cars stock. Nothing impressive.

Your 350rwhp would easily eliminate a stock steath.
That's like 100 more RWHP minimum you got on a stock one. Awd is great for launches, but soaks up alot of power when already moving.
