20" looks cool but you pay, get a convertible, dont sacrifice any performance and look different

Looks like a Jap spec type R in that picture. Square lights and right hand drive. 220hp. Its a road going race car and a true drivers car. They handle well they go well. Dont look at it as a cheap FWD Economy car as it is very capable. Dont worry if it beats you in a straight line you can fix that. Corners are another thing all together. They are one of the greatest handling cars you can buy.

Not a bad thing to get beaten by in all fairness I actually quite like them as a track day toy I would love one.

As a daily driver the lack of sound proofing, A/C and other luxuries would get on me a bit but hey they did what they could to save weight.

I was amazed to see the "leaders" board last week at my dyno shop -- an Integra 1.8L made 356 fwhp and a Neon made 342! Holy crap! The Integra was juiced but the Neon was turboed to hell.

How do *those* guys launch with that much power? You'd think they'd just smoke the tires...

They can launch fairly well if setup properly. Know someone who had his 400hp fwd car in the 11's would spin through 3rd without any problems though. Just takes a decent driver to control them and a well built car. 342 isnt that much though. The new Focus coming out here in the UK has 280hp. Couple small mods it will be up there with that. We already have a 300hp version available but its aftermarket built. Still has full factory warranty though and handles brilliantly. Just depends how well the front suspension is setup.
