Not sure what was done to the Eclipse, I know the Neon's handle like crap but are fast. How much would the 1995 2.0 auto weigh?

Ok just bought this car it is still streetable needs some small things. My question is would it be a fairly quick car on a 3/8 dirt track? I have had a Neon Sohc and a Cavalier 2.2 both auto's and wondering how this car would compare. Opening day is tommorrow(today) and I will be driving the Cavalier. How would this car compare to Neon Dohc ? A guy ran an Eclipse Dohc 5 speed at a larger track last year and won almost every time. So do you guys think it is worth building this into a circle track race car is my basic question?
