I was just kidding, Rory. I know sarcasm doesn't translate to the written word sometimes.

Maybe I can get Joe Welch to build a Neon Stocker!

other than the basics, what would you say the first step should be?

As soon as one of us Mopar guys would build a Neon, we would get horsepower put on us, like Mopar combos always do.....

No fun if you can't pull wheelies. We learn that at an early age.

You pull all the REALLY BIIIIG Wheelies you want...I encourage you to please, as I think it adds the COOL FACTOR. I want everyone I race to do wheelies. (Well, not the other FWD guys, unless you can...Just don't tell me how, because it is a trick I don't want to learn).

Guaranteed, I will even be watching in the mirror I like em' so much! (All in good humor ok?)

Get a Neon and buy the book.

The '80s turbo 2.2 cars may be even simpler to catch the index.

As a project during Covid I found a clean '85 Chrysler Wagon with the 2.2 turbo. Some basic set up and improvements and we had a .60 under stocker that my 16 year old could drive to the track if wanted.

The car was surprisingly consistent once we figured out the 60'

.60 under for less then $7,000 CDN.....thats only $32.00 USD!

Not a Neon but it does get "cool factor" points for being a wagon!
