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!
