Default Ode to Neon

When looking up hardcore import racing, drag or road-race, the only dodge to stand out is the neon. Is that because of all the plentiful bolt ons, their cheap price, or the factory turbo offerings? I honestly, like the stratus R/T or 2nd gen intrepid looks-wise, but there are no power pieces. And, I ain't fond of the 6gte or whatever jap motor they got in those R/T's. I guess if I want 4 doors, front wheel drive, a turbo and a stick, I better get a SRT 4, which is still a neon. Just pointless jibba-jabber.

I've been in 2. i wouldn't say they are fast stock. but probably with a few mods...maybe a small turbo. then fast. but stock, idk. maybe i'm just used to my Neon lol.

Omni GLHS FTW!
