Bad little ride. Would love to 'decontent' the exterior. Tuners will have fun w/this car. Remember the Laser RS and the Shelby CSX? 140/148 mph dead stock (on radar, Motor Trend test) for $15k, both ran worry-free for years? This may be a long-awaited follow-up sleeper (sorta). Wish the Focus would come close, but even the (finally!)SVT version is trounced by the Matrix/Vibe GT so far.....it's sad. Bet Dodge sells 'em like hotcakes and makes a retuned version in '04. CAFE rules have been relaxed, I hear, so we'll see what happens with this nasty little Neon. I like what I've seen so far.


98 CSVT, basic mod's, my slowest car yet but still faster than the wife's Talon Tsi AWD. Not by much, though. Now if I could get the back wheels to do something....
