umm, do you call low 16 second, high 15s a fast car? they really arent much quicker than the base SOHC 5 speed neon...the reason is they are based on the neon highline and are heavy for a 1st gen, generally weigh around 2500lbs, with a 2.4L it will be a high 14 second car....with a turbo 2.4...depends on the setup....not real quick, no, but with the same engine setup as an SRT4 I would say they would be a high 13 second car, so my thoughts...slow stock...decently quick if heavily modified
