If you are looking for bang for your buck this is your car. It is a highly modified 1998 Dodge Neon R/T that is the ultimate sleeper. Set up to be a drag car, this car can be very fast in a straight line. The best time-slip I have for this car is from Bandimere Speedway in Denver (5,800 ft elevation), where it ran a 12.479 sec quarter mile at 114 mph. This car has over $20k invested in it, but due to moving and a lack of time I need to part with it. My loss is your gain!

Engine Management:
- RS Autosport Super420A Mega Squirt MSII standalone engine management system.
- Wideband 02 installed
- MSII Boost Control (currently not tuned)
- Includes MSI Wind Netbook computer and current engine maps. There is a mounting in the car for the laptop, which can function as a digital dashboard as well as performing data-logging and auto-tune functions.
- The car has been completely re-wired and the stock computer has been removed. The headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals are all functional. The cooling fan is on a manual switch for track purposes. Wiring diagrams will be included.
- Battery is re-located to under the passenger side front fender with a disconnect switch in the cabin.
Interior:
- 5" Tach and programmable digital shift-light
- Fuel Pressure, Oil Pressure, Boost/Vac, and AFR gauges
- Stock gauges DO NOT WORK. With the exception of the speedometer all gauges can be replicated on the laptop digital dashboard. With the proper sender the digital dash can also display the speedometer. This sender is not installed or included.
- The interior is completely stripped for drag use. Both front seats are included, but the passenger side seat belt is not.
- The dash is a shell, and conceals the ECU mount and wiring.
Exterior:
- Stock black paint with R/T silver racing stripes
- "Speed Holes" in rear bumper (intended to vent air from rear bumper at high speed on the drag strip, eliminating the "parachute effect" over 100mph)
- Paint is okay for a 1998 car. It has been treated as a race car, not a show car, so it is far from perfect.
Problems:
- The car CANNOT be registered in any counties that require emissions testing. It has no emissions equipment, and no longer has the OBDII computer that is required for an emissions test. It is being sold as an off-road vehicle only. It was registered in Montana where there is no emissions testing.
- The aluminum oil pan has a small leak.
- There is no A/C, heat, or power-steering. This has been used as a drag car, and all extraneous systems have been removed.
- The currently installed Innovate LC-1 wideband oxygen sensor and controller is finicky. I have intended to replace it with a PLX DM-6 SM-AFR kit. This is a more reliable set-up. I can purchase and install this at an additional cost if requested.
- The car is no longer OBDII compatible and does not have a catalytic converter. It is being sold as an off-road vehicle, and it WILL NOT pass an emissions test due the above.
- The car needs to be tuned. It currently idles,runs, drives, and the MSII has been tuned for up to 8 psi of boost. Due to time constraints and lack of track access I have not tuned it beyond this threshold. It will require some time and tuning by the new owner to reach it's full potential. Before the the MSII install the car has run up to 25psi of boost.
- THIS CAR IS SOLD AS IS, and no warranty is implied.
Overall this is a great starting point for someone who wants a fast project car for a very low cost. All of the mechanical parts are in great working order, and the wiring is all in place. All that you will need to do is spend some time with the car on the street/track and tune it to your liking. This car is the ultimate sleeper, and will be great fun for the next owner. It is also a steal, as over $20K has been put into the car!

Does the future of Fiat-Chrysler include Dodge?
Thu, 13 Jun 2013Wards Auto reports the future of Dodge is looking uncertain. Fiat has more or less laid out it's game plan for the next few years, and while the Chrysler, Fiat and Jeep lines are set to receive plenty of love, Dodge isn't so lucky. Fiat has already hobbled Dodge significantly by splitting off the brand's trucks into a separate Ram line.
Wards says that after the Avenger rides off into the sunset early next year, Fiat-Chrysler won't replace the model, leaving a gaping midsize hole in the Dodge lineup. The report also cites unnamed sources as saying that at least two other current Dodge products will move to the Chrysler line.
One of those could very well be the Grand Caravan. Chrysler has already made it clear that it plans to trim redundancy between its minivan offerings, but it has yet to clarify which other vehicle could sail under the Chrysler banner moving forward. Either way, such changes to the product line would theoretically leave Dodge with just four models.
Mopar '13 Dart is a bruiser of a compact
Fri, 08 Feb 2013For the fourth year in a row, Mopar is offering a limited-production car decked with a plenty of add-ons and a unique look. This year's black-and-blue car is the Mopar '13 Dart, which was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show with the now-signature paint scheme. Like previous Mopar models, only 500 of the '13 Darts will be built. Past models include the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and the Mopar '12 300.
The all-black Dart gets a brightly contrasting, offset blue stripe running the full length of the car, and other styling mods like the aero-tuned body kit, gloss black grille, wheels and mirror caps. Curiously, Mopar chose to stick with the Dart's standard headlights rather than the darker, smoked lights. The interior gets a similar black-and-blue treatment, but this unique cabin features a blue leather driver's seat to go along with the black leather seating for the rest of the passengers.
More than just a styling package, the Mopar '13 Dart also gets some performance and handling goodies to complement the Dart's turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, such as upgraded brakes with slotted rotors, a lowered suspension, retuned electric power steering and a "sport-tuned" exhaust system.
Chrysler Recalls Over 566,000 Trucks, SUVs
Wed, Oct 29 2014Fiat Chrysler is recalling more than 566,000 trucks and SUVs in two recalls for malfunctioning fuel heaters that can cause fires and a software glitch can disable the electronic stability control. The recalls bring the newly merged company's total for the year to 6.4 million vehicles worldwide and 5.1 million in the U.S. as it continues to struggle with reliability problems. It was not immediately clear whether those totals were annual records. On Tuesday, its longtime quality chief abruptly left after Fiat Chrysler performed poorly in Consumer Reports magazine's annual reliability rankings. The largest of two recalls announced Wednesday covers almost 382,000 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups and Ram 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs from 2010 through 2014. In trucks with 6.7-Liter Cummins diesel engines, corrosion on a fuel heater terminal could cause overheating, fuel leaks and fires. Chrysler is not aware of any fires or injuries. Owners could be warned by an odor of diesel fuel. Customers will be notified by letters starting in December. Dealers will install upgraded terminals and fuel heater housings could be replaced. The second recall covers more than 184,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from 2014. A debris cover over a circuit board in the steering column control module can disrupt communications and disable the stability control. The problem was discovered when dealers started getting reports from customers that electronic stability control warning lights were coming on. Fiat Chrysler says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem. Technicians will upgrade software to fix the SUVs, and customers will be notified in December. Fiat Chrysler has issued 33 global recalls and 27 in the U.S. so far this year. Doug Betts, its longtime quality chief, left the company to pursue other options after Consumer Reports' survey-based rankings this year showed four FiatChrysler brands at the bottom of its list. Dodge, Ram, Jeep and Fiat performed worst of 28 brands ranked by the magazine. Company spokesman Eric Mayne said Fiat Chrysler's recalls average fewer than 200,000 vehicles each, below the industry average of 301,000. That means the company is responding quickly to problems, he said, adding that eight of its 27 U.S. recalls were announced before the company received any consumer complaints. Chrysler is not alone with a high number of recalls so far this year.
