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!

- NO CATALYTIC CONVERTER
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!

Dodge celebrates centennial with Charger and Challenger 100th Anniversary Editions
Tue, 19 Nov 2013In 1914, the Dodge brothers went from being a parts supplier to a full-scale automaker, and to celebrate the centennial of this milestone, Dodge will offer special editions of the 2014 Charger and Challenger early next year. Both cars will be sold in limited numbers (although no specific number was given), and these cars will stand out thanks to unique touches like 20-inch wheels, 100th anniversary edition logos and the exclusive High Octane Red Pearl Coat paint job (shown above).
The 100th Anniversary Edition package, which runs $2,200 on the 2014 Charger and $2,500 on the 2014 Challenger, comes with red or black leather seats with a cloud print (for a denim-like look) and metal badges on the seatbacks that read "Dodge Est. 1914," while similar logos are also found on the wheel center caps and front fenders. The instrument gauges are unique to each car, with the Charger getting black gauges and the Challenger getting white gauges, and to enunciate the 100-year anniversary, both cars have red numerals on the speedometer for the 100-mile-per-hour mark.
Finishing off the 100th Anniversary Edition cars, which will be offered on V6 and R/T models, Dodge adds a flat-bottom steering wheel and embroidered floor mats as a part of the package. Scroll down for the full press release for these commemorative models.
Chrysler recalling nearly half a million Durangos and Grand Cherokees
Fri, Feb 27 2015Rule number one of public relations – save the bad news for Friday. Fiat Chrysler has adhered to that, announcing today that it'd be voluntarily recalling 467,480 SUVs. This latest recall could actually be thought of as a continuation of a September 2014 recall, relating to the fuel-cell relay. In that case, some 188,723 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee CUVs from model year 2011 were recalled. And this time, it's the Durango and GC in trouble again. FCA is adding crossovers from model years 2012 and 2013 to the fuel-pump recall, although only diesel-powered Jeeps with the 3.0-liter V6 that were sold outside of North America are affected this time around. As with the previous recall, deformities in the fuel-pump relay, which could affect its functioning. In most cases, FCA reports that the affected vehicles simply won't start, although they also could be prone to stalling. A new relay circuit will be installed that promises increase durability. Of the 467,480 vehicles being recalled, 338,216 were sold in the US market, 18,991 went to Canada and 10,829 were shipped south of the border, to Mexico. Outside of the NAFTA region, FCA is recalling 99,444 vehicles. No injuries or accidents have been associated with this recall. Statement: Fuel-Pump Relay February 27, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 467,480 SUVs worldwide to install new a relay circuit that improves fuel-pump relay durability. FCA US engineers have determined a condition identified in a previous investigation may extend to additional vehicles. The previous investigation, which led to a recall, traced a pattern of repairs to fuel-pump relays that are susceptible to deformation. This may affect fuel-pump function, preventing a vehicle from starting, or leading to engine stall. Of the two scenarios, the no-start condition is the more common. FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The fuel-pump relay is located inside the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), which also helps manage other vehicle functions. None of these other functions, including air-bag deployment, is affected by the fuel-pump relay. The new campaign affects an estimated 338,216 vehicles in the U.S.; 18,991 in Canada; 10,829 in Mexico and 99,444 outside the NAFTA region. Covered are model-year 2012 and 2013 Dodge Durango full-size SUVs and non-NAFTA 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee mid-size SUVs equipped with 3.0-liter diesel engines.
