Interesting tidbit form the L.A. show.

DC has annouced it will build the turbo Neon SRT with 205hp from a 2.4L engine, scheduled to hit the road spring 2003. Now I know you're thinking "Neon? *snicker*" :D, but Chryco has the little beast hitting 0-60 in less than 6 seconds! And these cars have been tearing up C stock in SCCA for a number of years now as their handling has alway been pretty good, at least in ACR guise. Follow the link for the story...

The sport compact car class is getting interestinger and interestinger :)

well, talk about ****ING UGLY AS HELL! And people thought the WRX is ugly? SHEESH! Granted the price is incredible, but the styling is nasty. It's the headlights, they dont match the front styling at all. And whats with the GS-X style wing?

God that's ugly:eek:

This car is not ugly. It is also a lot better looking than the WRX.

The only thing more irritating than getting beat by a faster car is getting beat by an UGLY faster car! :D

Yea it ain't gonna win many beauty contests (yellow doesn't help LOL), but I'm just one of those guys who likes a quick ugly car more than a slow "pretty" one. But that's just me. :) What can I say - I even like the WRX hehehe...

[Blk00SS]

Umm... The WRX is still a ****load uglier than the Neon.. Not bad but i hate that new Dodge front end ****

[nmyeti]

say what you will about that car's looks its going to be one heck of a performance car, and is going to smack a whole bunch of imports around. Should be fun to watch how those 2.4L respond to the BPU turbo mods... i'll bet real well.

the more cars they add in that class the better.. just more competition :)

[Go Dawgs!]

0 to 60 in less than six seconds proves that even a turd can go fast if you put enough into it.

Damn that thing is ugly!...

looks don't make you go fast.
