I like em for what they are. I have to admit that I'm garnering respect for the numbers they've laid down on strips I've been hearing about. But I don't think I'd get one. I don't think I could ever get over the memory of my sister squealing with glee whenever she saw a Neon.

Bash the neon all you like the numbers hold up and at times better a car that costs 10k more. (it shouldn't, IMHO) The neon wins in street start and 30-50. Not good.

If your answer is that the evo handles better, well yes it does but it is no miata or S2000 with a perfect 50/50 weight split.

If your answer is that the Neon is just a Dodge peice of crap there are many many who would say that the evo is a Mits piece of crap.

I am guessing that in this horsepower war the MR or an evo8.5/9 with over 300hp WILL come to the states and be very very competivively priced.

Neither does the RS. In fact the RS doesn't have power in the front as well...

Mexico? Nope. They're made right here in the U.S. The 2.4L Non-Turbo engine was in the Stratus R/T in Mexico for 10+ years. That's maybe where you mixed that up.

Power Windows? I never use them anyway. Of course, I'm not going to lie that they are annoying, having to get out of the car to close them if a friend left one open.

And I'll make a post when I pass 10K miles. I'm close. Some are already passed 30K and running fine. Hasn't even been a year yet.

.. It's called "weight." I don't think they're quicker though, around the same.

Here are the turbo toys that will be included in Stage 2. The blue button is for the intercooler sprayer. The button has an auto, manual and off setting. The red button is the high octane switch. Empty out your gas tank and fill it with 100 octane. Press the button and the system calibrates for higher performance. And the last switch which is one of the two black ones in the middle, I can't remember, is a high/low boost setting. Allows you to drop the boost in heavy weather conditions such as rain and snow.
