You know I used to like Porsche also but when I seen the latest shootout
between the Z06, Viper, Porsche, I had to laugh because the Viper beat hands
down. Now I wish they would lose another 300 lbs from the car.

But like Jon mentioned in a previous email, to sum it up.. Some like to
build what they want, some can afford to buy what they want...

And I opted for something that won't bust my wallet and give me the most
bang for the buck, still pass up several gas stations before a fillup, can
do AutoX,
and still be practical. Since I prefer AutoX (SCCA Solo I ES), the Neon is
the best suited for that type of racing that is within my budget. Believe me
if I had
enough disposible income to afford a Viper it would be sitting in my
driveway(actually a Porsche 911 would be) right now.
