Yeah, I do catch a little ---- about the whole Neon thing, but once people see it in person or ride in it, they give me a lot of respect.
I get a lot of props at the track from the import and V8 crowds, even back when I was NA with a few bolt ons. This isn't your typical POS Neon.

Re:Whats Up? Newbe Here......
Yeah, I know. Most people are not, and that's cool. I chose a Neon because it's different and contrary to popular belief, is a really good base for a competitive sport compact.
One could go on to say, "It's just a Civic." It is just another econobox POS, but if built up the right way, can be really badass. I'm a car enthusiast and don't desriminate against other cars just because it's a certain make or model. I don't wish to start a domestic versus import arguement, I think I'm above ignorant *** arguments like that.
But, the Neon is still another econobox POS as most sport compact are, and am currently saving up for a nicer daily driver. (And keep the Neon as a fun street/drag car.)

It is a neon, but you did it up well.

12's better be attainable with that car if he's running drag radials. I ran 12's on POS *real* street tires. Its all on your driving skills.
