Like Rich, in 2005 there is the Daytona Charger coming with the 5.7 Hemi.
That will beat the pants of the WRX and the Neon SRT-4.

I am watching this very close! Obviously i can't afford another car
now...but if they come out with the first redesign (more power) in 05 i will
have one in my possession, just may be my fiance's...
as for no good cars in Canada...All i can say is just come to Carlisle and
take home a new mopar...may need to order it early. do you have to pay some
crazy tax to take something like that over the border?

The WRX weighs 3200(ish) pounds.
What is the weight of the Neon?
Also there is not going to be a turbo version of the Neon in Canada, so
we
once again don't get the "good" version of a car.... arrgghhh....
