Well, it's been almost two years and no Neons yet.

Someone gave it the old college try. :rolleyes:

I sure wish there had been an Escort version....

Seems like this book would make a Neon build kinda, shall I say easy?

What class does a 2005 SRT run?

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

A 2005 SRT4 isn't in the stock car classification. You must present it as a 2004 SRT and the only class in stock is AAF/S.
You can also present it (still as a 2004 SRT) in Super Stock in SS/H,I,J, manual or automatic...

Nobody wants to cut up a valuable collector car.

if i was not knee deep on my nova, i jump all over this

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

I've talked to a couple Neon guru's and they seem to think it would only be worth it with a manual and i wouldn't even attempt racing a manual. I wouldn't of thought they would be that bad since you can use the same trans the turbo dodge guys all run but these Neon engines like more RPM. I found info off of a Neon page over a decade ago where someone got a best of 14.96 out of one when the index was 14.95. Hardest part is finding a half decent body. Anything decent everyone wants over 3k for one up here in the northeast. I do know where there's a supposed really clean 96 4dr with a blown head gasket. I keep looking tho not sure if the 95-99 or the 2000-2005 ones are the way to go. The 2000-2005 ones are a couple hundred lbs heavier. Then the question on the 95-99 do you go SOHC or DOHC? Either way the stock cams are really small on all the Neon engines. But so many circle guys race these cars directly against the Ecotec's and have success so maybe it can work? These Neon's stock with an auto are only good for around a mid 17 if you're lucky. Some guys are only getting 18 sec from them.

I got that book and this one that came from Mopar as well

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Similar to what I found. I had one I had purchased for a few hundred dollars, running/driving. I was doing work on it here and there, but it ate a trans. Simply put, I had no desire to pull the trans/nor put money into rebuilding it...so I sent it off for recycling. Sorry Billy!
