That is so cute "have always been into mopars", at 16 how long could that be? Look just kidding, I get excited to hear a young gun continuing the Mopar hobby. At 800.00 I don't see how you can go wrong, plus like you said it is a good car to get your feet wet so to speak in drag racing. Work on staging, cutting a good light and as in bracket racing learning to run on your dial in will only make you a better driver as you start going faster. Go for it!
