In a straight line. The world is filled with curves.

TurboNeonStore.com is an amazing site for SRT-4 owners, they have it all.

Pick up a late 90's Miata for $5000-6000 and throw a Supercharger kit from any of a number of suppliers about $2K and have an extremely good handing, very fast, tunable car with the drive wheels on the right end for less money then a crappy Chrysler product.

Don't forget that you're insurance on a Miata will be cheaper then on a SRT-4.

The ONLY thing a Neon can do better then a Miata is carry golf clubs.

SRT-4 is crazy fast in a straight line, let it handle a curve and it won't be as quick. Someone around town has a SRT-4 heavily modded putting out over 400whp, wheel spin in 3rd gear chirping 4th...i almost cried the first time i rode in it lol. Cheap, fast, easy to upgrade, cheap to upgrade, I'd like one.

FAST

CHEAP

RELIABLE

Pick two, because you will never have it all.

wheel spin through 3rd and a little in 4th......well imagine that in a FWD car with 400whp

Probably wouldn't get better than a mid to high 12 in the quarter either

your definitely going to want to check out INSURANCE PRICES first.

because 'fastest car under 20k' also earned it some other titles.
