But he still races it every weekend...
Lol, my sister has a Neon, what an adorable little car. SRT4 Neons = proof that you could put a turbo on any cheap economy car and somewhere, some Fast & The Furious fanboy will buy it. I don't like when a bottle soda is bigger than the engine under my hood. Just sayin...

(I just found this icon and wanted to use it)

EDIT: Notice the lack of a heatshield on that "cold air" intake? I'd run like hell. No telling how long that things been sucking in hotter than hell air.

The warm air would just give him an extra mpg or two. It basically looks like its all stock with the exception that he bought a cheap round intake filter and bolted it onto his stock intake tube - which there is nothing wrong with he basically made a free short ram intake but definitely no cold air intake. I'm sure his racing wires/header/carbon fibre exhaust(likely just a muffler) all came from Ebay for dirt cheap as well. I would be very surprised if you opened the door and there WASN'T red painted interior pieces and light up pedals because we all know that makes you faster haha.

If you need a cheap car yesterday and you're in a crunch take it for a drive, tell him it drives like crap and lowball the heck out of him. Otherwise I would stick it out...around here you can get ~2000 Sunfires or Cavaliers for that price or better and though they aren't as fast N' furious as the Mitsu claims to be they are a cheap car to drive, parts everywhere for them and such.

I mean don't get me wrong I have seen some very fast imports but 99% of those people are ricer boys with their 100hp 4 banger... Totally have to agree with ya on that one Phil. I would have to also say that I wouldn't start bragging about how fast my car was until at least low 12's.
