I wouldn't bother to look at it. I am looking at numbers here not what is
claimed. HP, car weight factor and TQ factors are a proven point. If it
was that good, I would opting for twin turbo Neon...

Guess you didn't look at Len's webpage... 10psi, it's also a daily driver,
AND street legal.
BTW he's been racing the car since 98 with the original block
Kinda sounds like the aurguments going between the Dakota and Lightning
folks eh?
The Viper has 6 extra pistons going up and down...right?? Compared to the
Neons 4..
The point is that he took a $16k car, pumped in under $10k in parts and was
able to beat out a $60k+ Viper, as well as AutoX quite well with that very
same
Neon, and keeping it all street legal.
Oh BTW no power under stock?? Well with just a K&N drop in I pulled a
15.647@87.47 quarter mile.. Not bad for a stock Neon(with a 132hp non-Magnum
engine) with street tires.
