I think her point was the neon is going to handle completely different than any car you have previously driven. (more than likely) A 300hp truck and 300hp neon is like a train and a jet.

Once you get used to the stock power, there are many, many ways to go.
First, choose what kind of racing (strictly drag, drag and streetable, auto X) and how much horsepower you want to pack (300, 400, 500+)
This will determine aftermarket turbo setup. (Stage 3, 50 Trim, GT35...)
Afteryou figure out the Turbo you want, then find the supporting mods that work with the turbo. (CAI, clutch and flywheel, 3" exhaust or downpipe with cutout, fuel pump, injectors, rail and return line, boost controller, wastegate, throttle body, intercooler, A/F ratio computer, swaybars, coil-overs, engine and tranny mount, short throw shifter)
One last thing I would recommend is to do the upgrades in stages, do not just go from the stock 230 HP to 500+ HP. Some little modifications can make a big difference in the car.

if it doesn't have a cc just put one on. it's no excuse to not buy a car, that's really just kinda stupid. a catch can isn't REQUIRED, it just helps. i haven't had a cc on my car in two years.
i'm going to be honest here, and don't think of it as being rude, but i would honestly suggest buying the car and not touching a damn thing on it for at least a month if not two or three. an srt is not a truck (i know this, i have one of each). and srt doesn't drive like a truck. the torque doesn't feel like a truck. this is not a car that you can just jump into and drive like a bat out of hell, you will end up killing yourself that way. learn to drive the car, learn to drive it hard. take it to the track when you're stock. learn to launch. then worry about modding.

^^^ completly agree
300hp in your truck is not like 300hp in a fwd neon. you'll be surprised how different it is. i have a friend that drives exotic cars all day long (lambos, ferrari's, porsche, etc), so he's used to high hp cars. he got in my car and was like "holy s*@t!". high torque in a fwd car is really something that you just have to experience lol.

RE: i want an srt 4, help me make this thing a beast
if i try to look for one with stay stage two already installed, is there anyway to tell whats in it by just looking at it? ( color of injectors or writing on the pcm?) so are there any problems with these things?
