Dodge Neon. . . . ftw?????

My buddy was saying the other day the the new neon srt is the best bang for the buck out on the market (he's a die hard Japanese man). I was sceptical at first, but after reading up. . . he may be right.

I used to work at the Dodge dealship and i got to take a couple for a rip on the hightway. One of them was the stage 3 version( cant remeber exact HP) and that thing hauled ass!! Now handling is a different story, typical domestic suspension, not tight at all.

But in a straight line, wow they are quick and they sound pretty mean too with the exhaust upgrade and a blowoff valve

Reminds me of the

2006 Cobalt Coupe SS Supercharged
2.0L Supercharged DOHC ECOTEC four-cylinder with 205 hp.

Eh', not my cup of tea.

I'd rather have the GT or the GTO.

20,000 new, 13 second stock car. It is an entry level car. ever seen an entry level car (not just an entry level model, but an entry level car, period) have a nice plush interior? no. In that price range, they are all crappy.

BTW, I'd rather have my bimmer, too.

I remember when Neons were first introduced, there was a lot of hype about them being sleepers. Used to hate those "Hi" commercials Yea, it's still just a Neon . . speed isn't everything, unless your name is Edwin
