Then again, if you really need to drive fast, you have modern fast cars like the SRT4, which is basically a Neon with a 2.5 liter turbocharged engine and running gear and what not to match, about 220 horses in a machine which probably doesn't weigh more than about 2600 lbs. Performance should be roughly similar to that of a Maserato Merak in a $20,000 car which is generally more refined than either the Merak or any muscle car, is tall friendly and can seat four adults comfortably.

Anyone who buys a high performance front wheel drive car has a deathwish. They make the notoriously squirrely handling of the rear engined Porche look civilized.

That's dated info. Try actually driving Neon.
