I have been at the mercy of a few Neons in my day, but you won't be disappointed in the auto/SRT6. And they only come in auto if you didn't catch that. Last neon I ran in a half mile event..... He ran very well.... I edged him in the quarter but he went right on by..... Most of the time, they edge me in the quarter.... I would hang on to the neon.... and get yourself an SRT.... If you like your neon, you won't be disappointed in the SRT.... Boost is boost baby....
