so your trying to tell me a sohc neon beat a cougar with all those upgrades. im sorry bro i can't even start to believe that when my 97 dohc neon gets dusted by my 86 F-150 4x4 with lift and 35s and stock fuel injected 302! i know you guys like your neons but come on even you other guys on here cant believe this guy. and by the way of all the neons i have seen in the many junkyards ive been to i have seen maybe 3 that had more than 140,000 miles. im not trying to start a war here but from what ive seen the neon is a cheap car that doesnt last long and if you can keep them limping along it costs a fortune! 140.000 miles isnt very many when you think about it my truck has 158,000 and its barely broken in. another thing they are one of the top 5 deadliest cars think about that when you get behing the wheel i know i did thats why this winter i went back to the truck.

Yes, the Neon is a "cheap" car, but with a bit of work and care they can be great cars. Maybe you should read your owners manual and you'll find out that you actually need to maintain the thing. If you don't want to spend any time on the car, then get a Ford (read: Fix Or Repair Daily) and tell me how long it lasts you.
