    Hey hows your Neon on AutoX? I hear they handle really well. Did they also have a special version for SCCA a couple years back? Not the R/T

    I believe Habib used the word "bubbly, but not as bubbly as a normal neon." biggrin

    It's got very precise turn in and steering, although the stock "touring" struts don't do much for me. I've now 22mm front and rear swaybars that i have yet to autox on and polyrethane bushings. I'm working on getting a set of Konis that came with the competition suspension and stiffer springs. I'd say I do pretty well against other cars with better prepared suspension.

    The SCCA model BTW is called the ACR, and it's still available for the 2001 neons.

    i would never get lightweight 16 or 17 inch wheels for one reason: the tires weigh a buttload. my bro got some 17" subzeros, and each kumho tire weights MORE than each wheel. it's insane. i think each tire was almost like 20 pounds when we weighed them. biggest i'll go is 15 smile

    yea...in the background of mike's picture on the left, thats me and the go-kart smile

    I'd like to say something nice about the neon...other than its got really good gearing in 1st and 2nd, it turns in faster and feels a little stiffer (chassis wise) than a civic...but I can't bring myself to say anything good about his car.

    Wait...damn you...lol wink
