Naah! It might be a good deal but it's "Old School" compared to a Neon.

Out of curiosity took a quick look and Neon's a getting harder to find up here in the Northeast. Either they want too much for it or it's just too far gone. What about some of the other 4cyl FWD models in the Mopar family from around that era? The Stratus, Cirrus, Sebring or Breeze? I did see in one of the older dime rocket posts someone mentioned using a 96 Dakota with the AMC 2.5L but the class guide is vague on that one. Says regular cabs must use M/T but it says that a SLT Plus can use an auto and they list it with a 112" wb which would be a short bed regular cab!

2000 base Breeze uses the same 2.0 as the Neon. Longer wheelbase might make it a better FWD Racer than Neon. Pretty easy EF/S but heavy! Probably a better E car than the Neon is a D car.
2004 Stratus uses bigger (2.4 2.5 ?) combo. I don't know how this engine compares to the 2.0. LOOONG stroke, 4-valve head, lots of compression. It might be a pretty good JYD. Probably DF/S car. WAY too heavy as an EF/S.
Anybody else out there care to comment?

There was a little Mopar at a CIC race last week that took out about 3 million dollar's worth of race cars and support stuff on his way to the win. It was a 1986 charger EFS 135 17.45 index going 15.90s. Does that count. Tom

The AMC 2.5 is rated too high compared to the 4.0 135HP unless its changed recently. The 113 WB is the same as my 92 Comanche. Don't think the 2.5 is a good combo.

Jimi, I'm going to hell just for the nice cars that I've cut up in my lifetime! I won't cut up nice cars anymore!
THAT being said, If you even THINK about cutting up that car, I will put you over my knee and spank the thought right out of your mind!
And while I'm doing it, your Mom and Dad will be smiling down from Heaven!

That's a cool really rare piece. Would hate to find parts for that engine.
