Probably a button on a remote that pops them open via a solenoid.

I know they wanted to kick the snot outta Honda, but it would be awesome as a RWD (FR).

p.s. is that DOT legal? don't the cops/rescue people would have to be able to open the doors if you wreck?

Its on off road vehicle. I mean it see's the street here and there but the Mopar group uses the car for R&D.

- wish it was rwd or awd

I like the fact it's a Neon because people get even more upset when they get beat by one but also I like it's styling. It doesn't look bad at all. Interior is not very functional but it's likable and stock sound system although cheaper looking is better sounding than in my late 03 Accord V6-6MT. I also like the seats in the SRT-4.
Shifter has the stock boot on it.
Also it has shaved door handles because the doors are painted carbon fiber doors. Who uses the rear windows in a racecar anyways?

Yes, i know it's stock, I was checking them out because I wanted one
Heh, well, you're right, I rarely lower rear windows but cranks are just ugly imho.

not bad with slicks on a good day. An evo can do that with stock tires on a wet surface and on a stock turbo!I have had faster Hondas and once I drove a EVO it was by by by FWD....

An evo can also put down those #s... keep in mind the evo is also AWD, the neon is FWD so who has the advantage? If the neon was on a AWD platform that would raise the cost of the car and throw the affordability aspect out the window
