Frank he sold it to guy in maryland.

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Wow. I swear that car had been up for sale longer than my former AMC (2009 to 2018). If I'm not mistaken MySpace was still a thing.

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Time to go n take your newfound Biden cash and bum rush the scrapyard to build a half dozen Neons !! 3 rounds of instant class less racing at any venue that does not go by fastest qualifying and get a made in china wally to boot !!

Chumpski, Where ya been?
Somebody said you had a new job down at the Safeway, taking meat in the rear?

Who lit the fuse on your tampon Don?

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

I think it's more of a matter of the neon being such a rare collectors car[just like every moper ever made.......lol}

Your a little too much Mark.......................

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Ya know, the person with the biggest, shiniest, most expensive tool box doesn't always win. A car is just a tool to do a job. A good "mechanic" can do the job with any tool.

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Been busy whacking off intake flanges with my 85 b!! Mr Yak !! Puke!! whatever !! It would behoove you and the other scientist of the scrapheap to build a few turnkey engines and "trannys" ,PTO's whatever makes those dogs move !! I'm sure they'll be coming from far and away to get in line with their stimulus money to be the laughing stock of the eliminator !! but the free "tubesteak"might draw them in !! Hail mother MOPAR !! that crap aint for real !! STICK SHIFT FOREVER !! No Brown Streak convertors here !!

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Your right Billy !! US General from harbor freight beats Snap On !! Thats what the add from China says and it must be true !! A real "Tool" wants a neon or sum other bastard claiming to be a Mopar when the real Mopar guys know that Mopar died long ago !! But theres no reason to stop racing and enjoying those cars from the "glory days"

Bubski, did you forget to take your meds?

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

So..... you race what? An AH car?

Bubski = troll

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Bubski is definitely a different dude but you guys are crossing the line into bully territory. Take a chill pill and move on and that includes you Bubski.

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Ya know Frank, the way that I'm looking at it, this is Ken's site but it's my thread. I started it to "instigate" the possible building of a perfectly good combo that I am hoping a couple of Mopar guys might find interesting. The Racers on here who know me know that I'm a b@ll buster and a B.S.er but I'm not a "bully". I would like to say to the Racers who don't know me, no offense is meant by my b@ll busting. I am who I am, at least until the time comes when I'm told that I CAN't be who I am. Then I'll be gone. I love ALL makes of cars and combos (even FFFords). I just like trying to keep the "competitive juices" flowing between the Racers of the different makes.
Now as far as our "buddy" Bubski is concerned, are we "bullying" him or is he "bullying" the Racers on MY thread who just happen to like playing (face it, ALL racecars are toys) with not-so-fast- and not-so-good looking cars and combos?
He has offered no constructive comments or advice. He is only demeaning them as "sum other bastard claiming to be a Mopar" and to my knowledge he doesn't even race! It's pretty clear right after reading my first post just what the topic of the thread is. If he finds slow, ugly, cheap bastard combos offensive (even if they're in the guide) then maybe he shouldn't read, let-alone post, on the thread!

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Billy you have a PM.

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

and now, (hopefully) back to our original programing.

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Billy. I know someone with a brand new motor in the crate. $800

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Wow! There ya go all of you "Dime Rocket" Mopar guys (is there such a thing?)! A "Race Motor for $800.

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Where can I get one of those?

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

There are a bunch of them on eBay.

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Mancini Racing still has some copies of the original Direct Connection/Mopar Neon book as well.

This photo appeared at the top of the page in the photo gallery section this morning. Mike Delahanty racing a Neon at the 2003 Mopar nationals. Not a stocker but maybe he could chime in this thread.

How about if Tim Kish joined the conversation.

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Aaaaaaaah, I miss the "good-old-days" on ClassRacer when all we did was argue about why my _________ (fill in the blank) is better than your __________ (fill in the blank).*

*I'm talking about cars here.

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

I'm asking for a little advice about running a Neon. I'm looking at a couple cars. 2004 SXT, 132 HP, auto, weight break puts it close to upper limit of CF/S. Also, 2003 R/T, 150 HP, 5-speed manual, weight break puts it close to upper limit of BF/S. Each one could move down one class with a little weight added.
I'm thinking the 2004 SXT would be a better choice because of it's lower index. Yes, no, maybe, maybe not???

Oh Mr Knees !! your bullying again !! The only way to stop the madness is not to start it !!

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

This Mopar went 150 MPH for 4 hours using NO fuel. A Neon would have blown to Texas. Pole shed 0, Laura 1...... Lemon Phish

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Unless a real Neon guy will chime in here, my advice would be to buy the book.
The 04 SXT in D would probably be the better car but the R/T would be more challenging and more fun. I don't know how the 5 speed transaxle will hold up. Maybe Yak has some experience with them?

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

The 5-speed will take more abuse for sure as opposed to the automatic. Remember all the SRT cars were 5-speeds...they handled a fair amount of abuse even with upgraded engines. Half shafts were the only issues I've ever heard of from people who were racing them. I don't think you would have any half shaft issues with an NA stocker.

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

I do happen to know a thing or two about Neon's if someone is really building one..

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Any advice on what Neon to run in Stock Eliminator? I’m close to pulling the trigger on a 2003 R/T, 5-speed. Just need the weather to get a little better. Thanks.

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Tim,
Do you still own your race car and if so when was the last time it was out and it's performance?
Billy's edict was spot on.
Frank

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

We do still have our SS/GS Neon. My son drove it this past season and has been as fast as 12.30@113.

I’ll have to look at the factors for the different years and platforms to see what would be the best option.

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Tim,
Please post photos for us MOPAR guys to be proud of your little torque monster.
I was the Service Manager of Stamford Dodge in 1990 and remember road testing a '90 Dodge Daytona Shelby and on the hit the torque steer and acceleration were impressive and at that time I was racing my A/SA Max Wedge car that ran pretty well back in those days.

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

New Mopar project is started. Got it home this morning. Will be DF/S at 19.85 factor. 2003 Neon R/T, 122" 4cylinder, 150 HP, 5-speed manual.Engine & trans are good. Front K-frame is broken, rusted through on the passenger side. Body is ok but has some rust in the rear quarter, not to bad. I'll start a build thread soon with details if anyone is interested.

Re: So all of you Mopar guys!
 

Possible good alternative to a Neon..BF/S sounds close to turn key with a track history!
