SRT-4 in a first-gen chassis? Pics! I learned to drive in a '95 Plymouth Neon, and loved the way they looked but hated the 2nd gen. I remember doodling Neon race cars in high school.

Negative lift and Cd <.30 is a tall order. You mentioned an inadequate cooling system, which will complicate that even more. I think you're looking at, minimum, a fully-ducted radiator (inlet and outlet) so you can keep cooling intake area to a minimum, a full belly pan, and a low front splitter, too low for street use or adjustable if you want to drive the car on the road. Avoid a rear wing at all costs, that will kill your drag coefficient.
