That would be cool, but I can say with 99.99% probability that it is
not true. The 3000GT VR-4 will easily run 160mph, (had mine to 130 and it
wasn't even breathing hard) and the Camaro Z28 is probably in the 150-180mph
range, along with the Corvette, etc.
I just don't see a Neon pulling those kind of numbers. I'm sure they're
faster than a Dak (top speed; I would guess they're in the 130mph range),
and darn close (if not faster) at accelleraton, so if one pulls up beside me
at the light or the tree, they'll get my undivided attention. :-)
