What makes you think the WRX and Talon would smoke that neon ... THAT neon was the SRT-4.

215hp and a HUGE 245lb of torque ... I'm seriously looking at them when they come to Canada.

Even from a standstill the WRX MIGHT win off the line due to the AWD but the torque differences are huge the the neon would be pulling ahead before 2nd gear was done.

I used to have a neon with some **** done to it (just the 2.0L) and it was damn fast so I'll never doubt a neon.
handling wise ... I'm sure the WRX would outperform, at least until the neon had proper suspension ... don't forget they have always been one of the best autox cars ever.

Dood ... I'm not gonna get into an argument over this ... but WHEN is it confirmed that it's an auto ... I can understand that you don't wanna believe that a 20k neon can beat a 30k+ WRX ... but I honestly think it can.. now the STI will be another story.

Just looking at the sheer numbers how is it so hard for you to fathom that a 'neon' beat it ..

SRT-4 / WRX
215hp vs 223hp
245lb/ft vs 217lb/ft?
plus the SRT-4 is almost 200lbs lighter.
