Ok so i strolled into the dodge dealership this afternoon, because i had to pick a friend up from the service dept. Anyways, i was in the show rom checking out the new Neon SXTs. I oculdn't believe 0-60 in 5.5sec!!! cwm13.gif Anyways i noticed it had some souped up sh*t underneath the hood! I mean it had a blow off vavle, Turbo, All aftermarket headers, nice intercooler, and not to mention the beautiful chrome strut bar! But i was thinking "Man! some of these parts are small enough to fit underneath the hood of a celica", i mean do the even make half this stuff for our cars? and if so where can i buy it? But i am still bitter to say that a neon will kill my car in race!!! mad.gif

And they run 5.4 sec 0-60. 148mph. About 225 at the wheels stock. There are problems...
- The engines are rumored to b abused by the 16-18 variable psi of boost they shove thru it. It has been rumored that engine problems start at 50k miles.
- Also, you need to get the polyurethane motor mount upgrade. This will cost a little bit of money, but it's the only way to be bale to run the fast runs that they did.

EDIT
On the good side though, they are really quick and fast.
