93' 300zx tt vs. dodge stealth rt tt

I recently bought a 300zx tt when I got back from basic for the military. It's been My dream car ever since I was a kid. One of my friends wanted a dodge stealth rt twin turbo all the way back to high school. We would always race people at school and with friends, but know since we're not racing our parents minivans lol, I would like to know who would win?

Both cars are stock
And the stealth has all wheel drive

So who would win?

If you come to a car forum asking about a different car, what do you think will happen?

If two STIG's raced each other, it would probably be a fairly close race.
If two tools raced, who knows.

THE STIG

I would have to say though for just some normal guys in each car, I bet the Stealth would be easiest to win with. You'd have an easier time maximizing the torque without spinning the wheels because of the AWD, and in a race off the line launch is key.

Whatever though, I always liked Stealths but then when I first saw a Z I knew which I wanted.

Yah sorry I knew this was a z forum I just wanted a little input on the subject.
But what about on a roll maybe 45 mph?

It'll most likely come down to prior maintenance. Both cars are around 20 years old , but from a roll, the Z may have an edge since the AWD DSM is quite heavy (IIRC nearly 3800lbs).

If a dead stock Stealth can do 0-60 in 5.4 I'll eat its catalytic converter! I drove one back when I was car shopping. Shifting was not crisp and it "pounded" in turns due to the early attempt at AWD. Now my 90' TT Fairlady is admittedly chipped and has a new high flow intake and high flow SS exhausts cats-back plus a few other "features" but in my actual driving experience with both, stock, she would have eaten a 200lb heavier Stealth for breakfast. Now I regularly dine on the supposedly hot 'Stangs and Dodges, much to their much younger drivers' amazement! Admittedly it's often tight but the utterly amazed looks on their faces when they see me right with them border on the laughable: My baby looks dead stock other than the stainless tubes peeking out of the back.

Also, lots depends on the driver. Best way to tell is have the same driver run them through the traps and then go head to head.
