Kai: It's not normal for Neons to have problems like this, but as one of the few people trying to optimize a Neon for the Performance Touring class, we are experiencing problems mostly related to the increased power and performance of the car.

I did not know that, actually! What I know about ol' Sergei is this: he wrote Piano Concerto No. 3 to earn enough money to buy his first car. Surely a man after our own hearts here at S:S:L!

Okay, for one thing that Edmunds Reno win was candy ass and it was a sit-in with Eyesore. Krider's won it twice (I think), in California, against strong opposition. I took my car from 3rd to 1st in 2 hours and 46 minutes and stepped out with a 53-lap lead. At Flat Rock, in a true 24-hour race, against Ford SVT, Chrysler SRT engineers, all the major magazines, and several OEM suppliers.

not that, you know, I have an opinion about this :)

This is Porsche code 137, Lime Green/Viper Green.

Hmm... it's a decade old. When is the replacement coming out? From what I've heard... never.

I suspect markie_b, if he's the fellow I think he is, refers more to the Z's National Solo and SCCA Touring potential.

Sheesh! I need to think about this stuff before I write it. Corrected, thank you!

Great review, but I think you'd be happier with a MUSTANG!!!!!

Osmacher,

I happened to hear a very similar story about Redline at Summit Point when I was running there this weekend. It sounds like potential drivers need to be very cautious about this.

The GRM challenge is under the care of Jon Felton and NASA, and as such is highly recommended.

Hey Nick,

If I had to do it all over again, I would still take the V-8. Don't want DSG in this car, don't care about the diff because I can already put the tail out, 3G MMI would be interesting.

High-revving V8s are going to be a thing of the past. Enjoy them while you can.
