I don't know how many people like DCX, I don't care for a lot of there cars, but there are 3 that definitely intrigue me.
1. New Viper, nuff said. Except take a look at the seats close up. Almost a foot of side support. W3rd.
2. Neon SRT-4. the one they had there today had nice painted calipers, probably just for show, as they looked hand painted. BOOST GUAGE STOCK, w3rd. Very nice seats with great lateral support and leather sides with cloth inserts for sticky clothes. Wing needs to go, and i don't like the wheels, as the spokes stick out to get destroyed by curbs. Front, albeit a bit bubbly, is very attractive. Wheel/fender gap is huge, but i'm sure a nice spring package is already available. 220 HP Turbo I-4 + 2200 or so lbs. = sw33t.
3. RAM SRT10. Holy crap on a platinum platter. Up close this thing is a beautiful monster. upgraded front fascia and moled tonneau cover with lip spoiler is amazing. six speed. new 500/500/500 viper motor. 24" two tone wheels. and to top it all off, BFG KDW 2 tires at 305/35ZR24. It's going to be difficult not to consider this truck.
Sucks going over there and seeing all this sweet stuff and not being able to really get in and play, but it's still cool to get a close up look inside.

They will have to take a lot out of the neon to meet a target weight of 2200 lbs. 3. I will believe the SRT-10 When I see it. Not to call you a liar or anything, I know they have been touting this on the show circuit. There is no conceivable they can have that kind of performance content without charging considerably more than the lighting (like say 55k) -Pete

The Cobra R does not use the Lightning engine either. It used a Normally aspirated 5.4L DOHC 4V, based loosely on the Navigator block. The lightning uses a blown 5.4L SOHC 2V. Both are bad-ass engines, but both solve the problem in a different way.
