Saltwater? Seems to me as though the vocals ruin the track. I think they're a bit cheesy and overdone IMO.

Love on the run is a very very good track too. It's starting to get a little overplayed on the radio though.

They seemed kinda borring to me. I guess they're just a bit too mellow for my tastes.

Isn't a Neon known as "a mobile Chicane"?

It's the same movement with the steering wheel when you come up behind one.

Go there, then show up. There will be street cars running 12s that can take 25 mph turns at about 60-70.

It's nuts.

Looks like fun, bit of a long journey for me though!

Are the US Neons the same as the ones over here? I've never driven one, but the one's I've seen do not appear to be particularly exciting from a performance perspective.

If someone really thought that this car was the bee's knees and wanted one, I'd feel sorry for them, just like I feel sorry for people I see in supermarket queues who buy big loaves of white sliced bread and own-brand baked beans. Do they have such low expectations from life? There's a lump in my throat just thinking about it.
Its almost like he knows the SVX forums, LOL

HAHA, I guess that sums up the Neon in a nutshell. If its anything like my Avenger (Which I think it is- the Avenger is just its slower fatter yet better-looking bigger brother) then its a rattletrap that holds little market value, falls apart right around 100k miles, and needs a new part of some sort almost each month. I priced it out- If I want my car to be even a moderate performer, I'm gonna need to sink about 3 grand into it.....

Yeah, Avengers blow. They're heavy, they have cushy suspension, the only way to get a 5spd is to get the base model (Which isn't that bad, then at least it has the neon engine, so you could get a turbo kit from www.hahnracecraft.com), and they basically have no performance potential.

You summed it up right there.....there is another 5-speed option, but it requires an engine swap, which is expensive. It's really too bad, because it looks almost like a Viper sedan, of course, it would need a bigger engine and a better suspension. Dodge/ Mitsubishi could have had a really big hit on their hands if they played it that way. At least they finally got smart with the Neon.

I've thought they've always looked pretty good.... the problem was they weren't RWD. They look like they should be. Oh well. Morons.
