My memory is getting there. I remember the Stealth was a "big deal" there right about when the Viper came out. 1989 or 1990 ish..maybe 91 ahh the good old days LOL! Although I think 92 was the Viper. I just remember the Stealth being a neat offering from Dodge till we figure out it was an eclipse LOL!

actually...the stealth was a rebadge mitsu 3000GT

I don’t think the laser was AWD, the Eagle Talon was. It would break, but it was the precursor to the EVOlution. That car dominated street performance in the early 2000’s and made Subaru really up their game, which wasn’t as substantial, ended up being more advertising than performance.
The Mopar-Mitsubishi alliance was Much better than Ford-Mazda, and Chevrolet-Isuzu in product/technologic development. The older 2.2 turbo of the Challenger (that shall not be referred to!) that developed into the laser comes to mind. Seemed to compete VERY WELL against Ford’s 302 V8.

i thought the eclispe, laser and talon could all be had with 2 or 4wd, as well as N/A or turbo

as for the evolution, the eclipse came about before the evolution, but the evo was based on the lancer line, not the eclipse (and the lancer itself predates the eclipse by over a decade)

the lancer of course was also rebadge as a dodge colt

along side the lancer was a 2 door car offered in the US named the mirage (got a nice ring to it, doesnt it?)

during the 90s, you could take an EVO 4-6 and match it to the right year mirage, do a swap and end up with a 2 door EVO, pretty cool
(im sure there is a ton of crossbreeding im skipping over)

the whole conglomeration of Chrysler and Mitsubishi is knows as "Diamond Star Motors" (DSM if you're a ricer)
