Just for the heck of it, I did a 0-60 in the Neon yesterday on my drive to college. On a slight incline, I got 10.03 seconds.
My Mustang should be somewhere in the 5 second range.

5.0's stopped being made in '94, up until 2011 models. 
I've got videos of the stock exhaust and the "new" exhaust.

It sounded close to this for a little bit. Working on getting that sound back, but deeper:

no problem ... I live and die for Mustangs ... since I was 15 I've owned 10 mustangs (nine 5.0's and one 2.3), and with the release of the new Boss 302 I'll soon be making a deposit on one of those ....

That's one of the few things I never remember correctly; '95, not '94, being the last 5.0. I live and die for them as well, which is why I generally don't invest too much into the Neon. I'd rather spend it on my Mustang.
The next "big" to-do is to get rid of the crap Autometer Triple A-Pillar pod and the 3 mechanical gauges and get an SOS dual pillar pod with 2 short-sweep electric gauges. I also want to get another lower grille insert to make it black again. The silver looked better IMO when I had the argent Roush wheels on it. Not so much with the black wheels...
