How much does a 1993 Dodge Stealth weigh?
The 1993 Dodge Stealth generally falls in the mid-3,000-pound range, with lighter base models and heavier turbo-equipped versions. A typical curb weight falls roughly between 3,200 and 3,700 pounds depending on trim and options.
Overview of weight factors
Weight is determined mainly by the engine and drivetrain configuration, plus optional features. In the Stealth lineup, the non-turbo base models carry less mass than the turbocharged variants, which add hardware such as intercoolers, turbochargers, and related cooling systems. Wheel and tire choices, sunroof, and other amenities can also nudge the weight up slightly.
Weight by trim
Weight figures below reflect typical curb weights reported for common 1993 Stealth configurations. Actual weight can vary with options such as a sunroof, transmission type, and regional specifications.
- Stealth ES (base, 3.0 L V6, non-turbo): approximately 3,200–3,350 pounds (about 1,450–1,520 kg).
- Stealth RT (turbocharged, 3.0 L V6 turbo): approximately 3,450–3,700 pounds (about 1,565–1,678 kg).
In practice, the exact curb weight for any given 1993 Stealth can vary by a few dozen pounds based on factory options and regional specifications.
Why weight matters for performance and handling
Weight directly impacts acceleration, braking, and fuel economy. The turbo-equipped RT adds weight relative to the base ES, but gains significant power and torque, which changes the performance balance. Car enthusiasts often note that curb weight alone doesn’t tell the full story; power-to-weight ratio, aerodynamics, and suspension tuning also shape how the car feels on the road.
Notes on measurement and context
All figures above refer to curb weight, meaning the vehicle as it would roll off the line with standard fluids and a typical load but no driver or passengers. Dry weight (without fluids) would be lighter, and weight can vary slightly by market and production year.
Summary
For a 1993 Dodge Stealth, expect a curb weight in the 3,200–3,350 lb range for base ES models and around 3,450–3,700 lb for turbocharged RT versions. Actual numbers depend on options and regional specifications, but those ranges capture the typical spectrum across the model year.
