It’s based off of the 300C (LX) platform, not the 300M (LH) platform. Additionally, the LX platform is a Chrysler-designed platform, with few parts based on the E-class, such as the rear suspension design.  The more you know!

I really wanted a JT before, but now I NEED this Scrambler.  

The neon is by far one of the best cars I have ever driven. Hilariously quick on the track, extremely easy to work on, cheap parts, and from my experience, just as reliable as the civics and corollas of the time.  I wish I could go back in time and buy one brand new off the lot.

I don’t understand the 4C, it’s supposed to be a purist car with no carpet, barely adjustable seats, no sound insulation, and manual steering; however, it only comes with a Fiat 500L DDCT that has to launch slipping both 1st and 2nd gear to handle the torque. It moved less units than the Viper did, so I’m surprised…

Manual trans.

Who cares?  

Please elaborate. I have found that CUVs to be less practical for my personal needs. For example, I have had an easier time fitting multiple long pieces of pipe, planks and sheets in my Neon than in a new Cherokee. I also could not fit my ping pong table in my Cherokee, so I had to return to the store with my Neon to…

SRT.

This guy gets it. #preach

This isn't much better than the 86 tbh. The front tires look like they're off my bicycle.

Oh look, another 86 article from a mouth-breathing knuckle dragger, just like we asked!

They’re pretty darn good seats, comfortable on long trips, hold you quite well on the track, and are decently light for a factory seat.

Even just thinking about Gilles being near the head spot at Chrysler makes me wet.

The numerous stock cars I’ve driven on the track with zero issues say otherwise.

I did, two of the three tracks near me were okay with the factory “roll hoops” on S2ks, but one of them requires NASA spec roll hoops, and that one track just happens to be my fav...

Agree with you 100%.

Never heard anyone say that you can’t compare the S2k and an 86. I personally crossed shopped the two and decided on an 86 because a lightly used 86 was the same price as a lightly used S2k, but the 86 still had full warranty, more room for DD duties, and a fixed roof.

Reading through the comments, it seems most owners either don’t care, or bought an aftermarket arm rest without complaint. 

As someone who daily drives an 86, I like the fact that it doesn’t have a center console. On my previous car, I would hit my arm on the center console during autoXs or track days.

The Viper’s frame is steel, not aluminum.
