buy a 2000 and up auto neon and throw in a srt motor/ buy an older stratus 2.4 use srt-4 internals turbo etc, and that will definately work as a auto or manual.

yea that definitlely work but, dont think the hp will be the same because of it being a automatic turbo

ok next thing i wanna know.. everywhere i look there are neons with the same problem: blown/cracked gaskets. and these are daily drivers, not racers! is that a generation problem and why? i'm assuming its a matter of proper maintenance.

it happens to all of them, the headgasket is poorly designed from the factory. my 99 bles its at 50k miles. you need a mls (mutiple layer steel) one which will last longer but still will need to be changed around 80k miles. i had a tuned stock bottom end with a stock head with crane cams and ported with a 75 shot ran 13.6 all motor (no spray) and never had a problem (until the timing belt broke (another thing to replace after 70k miles!)

so say a daily driver like myself would b able to get by with a stock srt motor for 80k, right? no track raching or nothing like that. just a daily driver.... (i'd seriously consider gettin a neon)

theres no reason on a decent motor you shouldnt get over 100kk miles, headgasket despite what many others isnt a bad job and takes about a full day- day and a half

An auto SRT-4 exists... we know the car in the SRT-4 community as the Red Sled. It's also street legal and runs 9's in a 1/4.

Here's a vid:

There's a few other people who are now swapped with the DCR auto tranny and DCR parts.
