you know your ATX neon will never see a 15.5 right?Not without spending a few thousand anyway. The RX7 is a couple hundred pounds lighter, but i don't think its enough for it to beat you. You will win, but i don't think by much. Should be fun though!

i still dont believe that 8.5 sec. 0-60.......my bro had an rx7, it was pretty sweet, based on the numbers though it looks as if you would beat him.
