I personally wouldn't drive a Neon that wasn't an SRT-4. I'm not a big fan of the way they look, nor the way they feel while driving. It's a personal thing though.

I helped a friend build one with more nitrous than a dentist's office, and we both knew he would blow it, but the way it happened was rather amusing:

1st pass: 14.266 100-shot
2nd Pass: 12.550 250-shot, too much tire spin to call it a run.
3rd Pass: 52.571 back to 100-shot, rod through block, slow responding tow vehicle, noone stopped the timer until the car broke the photo-beam.

It was fun to show those time slips to the guys back at the shop, we all had a beer and started building again.

I would tend to agree that it was a mistake to get rid of the Neon though. I may consider buying a used one for my wife's next car.
