It's funny that you mention the Daytona. Back in the mid 90's my mom's boyfriend had a small car lot. His car of choice (other than his weekend car, the bad ass 72 Cadillac Eldorado- Orange exterior, white leather interior, 472 cubic inch V8 and FRONT wheel drive) was an 89 Chrysler Laser turbo (Daytona's twin). Car was pretty quick for its time. However that was about 17 years ago. Now they're pretty much junk, if running at all. He actually had another non turbo that he gave to my brother. Car was ok until it caught fire on the Skyway...
As for the Neon, I want to like the SRT4 but I just can't. I still respect them at the track as long as that track is straight. My problem with the owners is they refuse to acknowledge the fact that they drive a Neon. SRT4 is the trim level. No matter how you look at it you're still driving a Neon, so stop telling everyone you have an SRT. A Civic Si is still a Civic, an Evo is still a Lancer, so on and so forth.
