ZX2's do well locally.

None of the mini stock classes at our dirt tracks allow 16V motors, so the classes are predominantly Mustangs, but in every race I've seen this year, the fastest car on the track has been a Golf. They've won most of the features, and it's not just one guy. I don't know if they're stock, but they're certainly fast.
Not a Neon, an Eclipse with the motor on the left side. I think there is an Integra with the motor on the left also.
3800 Grand Am? Basically a V6 cavalier, stupid cheap used. Or a mk1 Neon.
mini stocks at the local asphalt track to me is 90% foxbody mustang. id be more interested to see something else competitive in the class. There also all full on racecars, what your describing seems more like the windshield class at bearfield

We run a very stock drivetrain/pretty wide open suspension rule set. On our 1/3 mile banked oval, success is way more based on suspension prep than on outright horsepower. Of course, with all else being equal, more horsepower will win.
We have a weight break based on number of valves, and where the cam is located. Neons are an interesting situation here. We have a 2 liter limit for 16v cars, same weight between single or twincam. With the speeds we run, the single cam is faster out of the corner, because the twin is just under the cam on exit. Even with the Euro 4:12 gearset, I get pulled by a well prepped singlecam.
Fastest car ever in the class was a E30 318, well driven amd VERY well prepped...I'd say he may have stretched the already liberal suspension rules with his fabricated control arms, but nobody called him on it.
Opinion:
A crashy ministock class is a ticket to a dead class in a short time. A bit of contact that doesn't phase a 79 Camaro will have you quickly changing a spindle on a Neon. A hit that will disable a Caprice will write off a Civic.
