Here's everything you ever needed to know about the Daytona...including the part number of the RWD conversion kit from Mopar, which is designed for 355ci V8 conversion.

As for the Dodge Conquest/Mitsubishi Starion twins, I know they both had a 2.6liter turbo 4 that can easily be modified to run 13's and well into the 12's on street-tires. I have met at least three people around town with sleeper Starions that run 12's. Here's a guy that has one. They have the advantage over the Daytona of having RWD. This place will introduce you to modifying one.

Oh, and one last thing...they take well to V8 transplants, especially since they have the RWD platform already...

Yes you are right he should buy a civic and mod that. Nobody will ever expect that. He would be the only one on the street with one.

Though I don't agree with him, at least he had the balls to say why he didn't think I should do this.

A lot of people don't like the looks of the J body LeBaron for some reason, and for some reason a lot of other people simply think it sucks because it is called a LeBaron. It couldn't be further from the truth. I love the way the GTC looks, their handling is superb, they are faster than about 96% of the cars that people drive out there, and they are an original choice. I don't want a me too car, I want to say I drive a GTC and someone says, uhh, oh cool; rather than me too. While the aftermarket isn't that great, I can get it beating Vipers no problem and for cheap. It just seems the way to go to me. Then again not everybody is going to like your choice, so if you don't that’s fine. I still know there are plenty of people that do agree with me, still its just a matter of opinion.

I went around looking at cars the other day and found a white Conquest TSi at the salvage yard where my GTC is at. While I love the looks, it is by no means a sleeper, and I do hate the interior, the seats feel like sitting on concrete and the dash just isn't doing it for me. If I got a Daytona I have decided that it would have to be a 93 or 94, I hate the head lights from the earlier years, and yes I am VERY picky, also NOT a sleeper. I can't find a hardtop LeBaron with a manual though, except perhaps one in Ottawa, and it has engine problems and the guy wants $1,100, it isn't worth that. I'll have to find one closer.

And carrrnuttt, thanks for that info, it helps a lot.

And everyone, thanks for the input.

No prob. Don't miss the specs link in the the Starion owner's page.

The Starion/Conquest is my personal recommendation. I've seen a blacked-out one(black rims, body, dark tint, no badges...very Darth Vader) MURDER a Camaro SS on the streets...followed him to a Hooters to ask him about his car...awesome.

All this talk about it is actually making me think of getting one.

As for you Neutrino, imma kill joo!!!
Why not the older Body styles because if you are complaining about how they look I would think that you don't care about looks considering you are fixing up a Lebaron.

Once again, matter of opinon. I really like the looks of a J body LeBaron, namely the GTC. My complaint with the older Daytons, is that I don't like those pop-up headlights, they look cheap, plus the Daytona isn't really a sleeper. I am going to hold out for the right LeBaron, if that doesn't work then I will go with the Daytona or Conquest.

Starions are the shit! The only problem I have is the fact that they didnt come with multiport injection. But they will run like a bastard with the two that it has. I now people who have takin them into 13's with the 2 stock injectors. www.t-racing.com this is a link to a guys conquest that he got to do 13's on a fully stock motor. I am building my car for 13's as we speak. Being that they are 2.6 the amount of torque produced is ungodly. The handleing is superb! These cars were built for road coarses and as a matter of fact. They still hold records to this day! Stock with LSD and ABS. Being that they are turbo and older there is alot of looking out to do. I know I run mine hard. I imagine you probably already new that.

Hell yes, a 2800 pound car with a 528 Hemi. I could go for that if it were a pure drag car. That would be well into the 8's perhaps 7's. Too bad that it only costs about $20,000 for the engine and they are on back order until the second comming of Christ.


LOL LOL LOL god damn I plan to use that soon in real life

My friend has a 1994 LeBaron GTC Convertable. He likes it, its slow though. V6 140 hp. My truck keeps up if not *barely* pulls away [ lil i-4 143 hp stick, his is auto.]
Anyways, I told him soneone on the AF is making the Lebaron fast sleeper and he got all proud. Too bad he's getting a Focus soon. Not even SVT
