well so far the BandT motorsports neon with SRT4 swap with a upgrade in the turbo department... has 2000 miles on it. i go by the shop almost every day since its right next to work... and damned if that thing isnt on the lift every day. right now they are working with some ignition issues because the stock unit isnt hanlding things well... they are going to attempt to solve this problem before they stroke the motor. i wish them the best of luck but everyday i'm in there. the owner of the car (shop owners son) says he wishes he was driving a honda lol. there have been no major motor issues just lots of little bugs to work out. the best run (they are drag queens mostly) is a 12.94 in the quarter. though aparently the ignition issue is so bad they think they can go 12.2 to 12.1 when that whole issue is solved. i dont know how they are going to cut 8 tenths off with the ignition issue, and i dont ever claim to know turbo anything... but aparently its not an over engineered part on the car. and they wont talk dyno numbers so dont ask... stupid confidential racing crap 
the car doesnt seem that bad... but even if its not a neon, it looks a hell of alot like one... and there IS a stigma attatched to that.
