Default And you thought Neons were slow...

Well I heard a lot about the Neon SRT-4 but figured it would be a lot more hype than performance just like the Civic Si, so I'm fliping through the pages of Car and Driver expecting to read a review slamming it ,when to my surprise I see they squeezed a 14.2@102mph out of it :o :o :o That's faster than a S2000,WRX and I'm to say it but also a '03 GT
priced at $20,000 this thing is definately the most bang for the buck in compact class

I wish they would get rid og that damn battlewing

We're like cows without a home to walk home to at night. We sit listlessly in the fields swatting flies off our backs and watching stuff happen.

Yes. I also was expecting some slow neon, but I also heard that it was super fast as well. Now I'm not sure, but is this car already on the lots? Are they for sale? of is that just a prototype to make us wish and dream once again. I'm awaiting the RT-10 Ram!!!!!

not faster then an 03 GT, they got a 13.8 out of the new GT, but a 14.2 is still pretty descent even though it is still a neon.

Fuck elapsed time, 102 mph will own a stock GT on the street. Wouldn't want any of that Neon from a roll.
