And all Chrysler cars then were k-car derivatives lol, even the mini vans.

Yo Bonz,

The only stuff I'm going to look into for the car is an LSD unit to help w/ torque steer, and maybe do some suspension work. The car has enough work done to it that it is running high 12s, so I don't need any more juice in the power department. But the guy is throwing in a built 2.5 in the deal, so if I decide I need more power I'll just deal with that engine.

It looks like there are quite a few vendors for these cars, and a pretty good aftermarket. So, hopefully no probs will be had there.

And yeah, guess it is a K car cousin.

I never would have guessed it was that fast

It looks great, congrats. I need to read a bit about these cars, I didn't realize they had so much potential.

Basically it comes down to an efficient turbo system. The early 2.2 engines weren't exactly high tech, as they were only a 2 valve per cylinder SOHC design. By the time Dodge came out w/ the SRT4 Neons in 03 they really had their 4 cyl program down.

Are American cars even allowed to run at Riceway park anymore?

Bob, I got to get a ride in that thing!
Last year at Laguna Se a, it was the year of the Shelby, so almost everything he's ever touched was there. Well, while walking through the market area, I saw an original GLH, 80's tastic rims and all. I wanted that thing more then the Cobra sitting next to it
