Project Mamba is our new racing flagship, after selling the 1996 Dodge Neon ACR we ran in SCCA Solo2 for a number of years in D-Modified class. We've been without a race car for a few years now, and I'm pretty eager to return to the Solo2 scene.
My wife decided on the name - she wanted a snake name, like Viper, but something that sounded a little smaller but still dangerous. Lil Mamba is starting out as a daily driver while she gets broken in and we get some initial specs (weight, MPG, 1/4 mile time, dyno runs, etc), and we'll be slowly transforming her through this year into a capable roadster, and then we'll get a little more serious as we get the "lightweight" things out of the way.
Mamba is a 2017 Classica, with as little in the way of extras as possible. I wanted to start with something I didn't have to pay money for just to tear it out as unwanted mass. Since FCA only offered the 124 in red and fifty boring shades of gray, we opted for white, which plan on painting lime green with matte black hood and deck.
Pics to come, as soon as we get a sunny day :/
