So all of you Mopar guys!

[Billy Nees]

I know that your cars are all "collectibles" and I know that you can get whatever you want by making a phone call and I know that your collective "poop" doesn't stink BUT there has to be one (or more) of you out there willing to take up this challenge and do some "slumming". Will one of you please go and find a POS 2000-2005 Neon and do a "drag-it-home and throw-it-together build like my Cavalier and Yac's Escort? This combo needs to be done and done on-the-cheap just to prove that you guys still know how to think and how to get your hands dirty!

Billy,
If you want to challenge the Mopar guys to "do some 'slumming' " and build a "POS 2000-2005 Neon" like your Cavalier, is your business. Only leave out the crazy, bizarre, and unfounded claims.

I take it you have issues with Mopars. That's ok. In your post though, your emotions took over and you resorted to personal attacks. As a consequence, your credibility takes a hit and you sound like a jerk.

Don't sound like a jerk, Billy.

Now that right there is some funny stuff! Grow some skin!

I'm not offended the least bit, and all seven of my vehicles are Chrysler products...

Any specific reason for an '00-05, or is it because the earlier ones have disappeared into oblivion?

EDIT: There's an SRT4 on Facebook Marketplace listed 2 hours ago in Harrington Delaware. Runs, drives, and tagged for $800...187k miles. Needs shifter bushings. Toooo easy...

Man, we are out here getting ready for the Lemons race in New Orleans with the MonacEAUX. I thought the Kajun Peaux Peaux was a cool name. This "Collective Poop" takes it to the house! Outhouse I mean. Buford T. Justeaux

Steve, the only reason that I zeroed in on the 2000-2005 cars is they're in the guide, there's still some around and a decent one can be bought for not-a-lot of money. I would like to see a base car done for the simple fact---------- they're simple. Turbos can be fussy. Now understand, I know next to nothing about these things but I do know that they race them on dirt ovals and SCCA stuff so they should be able to be done cheap.
All I'm looking for is for someone to take the time to do the same thing that I did with the Cavalier and what Yac is doing with the Escort. Oh AND do a "Class Build" thread on it.
No major ordeal, no #1 Qualifier, just a simple "anyone could do this for a "Dime" deal.

Next, I've got to try and get one of those FFFord neanderthals to rattle the Tech Depts. cage and get a FFFord FFFocus and a FFFord FFFiesta or two in the guide. Old Escorts are getting to be extinct.

Billy, Did you look at the cam deal? Looks like a license to steal, to me.
Of course, I don't know what the internal limitations are, nor do I care to find out.
I usually don't deal with foreign cars (Sorry, Don ;-) )
