vw=2.0?
My friend has an older (early 90's ) 5 speed 2.0 Golf that was slow as *****. I'm talking 17's in the quarter slow.
Maybe they got faster, but I doubt it.

But then again a sohc atx isn't exactly a rocket ship.

My guess is the neon would still win.

Especially having a 5-spd and not an auto.

a auto neon is a crappy comparison to alot of cars that are 5-speeds......i still dont think the neon would put up much of a fight
