The neon is not that fast. It isn't very light, it needs a turbo to get it's 'powerful' 215 horsepower. And it's not very torquey!

Not to rain on your parade, its a nice car and should be very fun, but it is not the fastest small car you can buy.
It is pretty light, 2 800 lbs, it's faster than Subaru WRX, faster even than Nissan 350Z and leaving the new Mini Cooper S and the Acura RSX Type-S in the dust. That's SportCompactCar mag. says. Not torquey? Talk about S2000 that car has NO torque at all. Horsepower as Measured at the Wheels is 223 hp @ 5600 rpm, Torque as Measured is 250 lb-ft @ 3100 rpm, 0-60: 5.6 seconds....
