Next level 6G75 swap.

Post by Jeff V. »

This brilliant bastard moved it from the front of the car to the back.

A fellow 6g75 swapper. Yes!

Wonder how well it handles for being mid engine now?

I’ve always thought a stealth would be perfect mid engine vehicle.

It's not. The position of the cabin, and the rest of the layout of the car is not suited for mid-engine in the least.

In Coops head it is. Also wasn’t there a prototype that was a stealth mid engine?

Just because it's in your head does not mean it's right...

In a mid engine car the front axle sits MUCH closer to the a pillar, and the rear axle sits much further behind the B pillar compared to a front engine car. See pictures below

3000GT - Not even close to a mid/rear setup

In a 4G Eclipse, just get rid of the back seats altogether, as they are 100% useless anyways. There's room.

Still doesn't make it a good idea though...

My wife's 4G Eclipse GT had plenty of front end grip, and I beat that thing mercilessly. Maybe the 6G75 works better to begin with than the turbo'd 4 that he had in his?

No talk about the prototype?

Coops head does not make it right. Correct. Coops head does not care though. Of course it’s not ideal to do the swap the car wasn’t designed for that. Keep those 9b’s as well.

You're probably thinking of the Dodge Intrepid concept. Mid engine, and the styling eventually evolved into the Stealth.
