Not exactly. This is my Neon ACR. It's not exotic but it is a blast. I bought it last May and it has a long history including a SCCA SSC divisional championship and even racing in the Neon Challenge series in the 90s.

These are from a track day last November. I had some issues all day one of which I believe is the ECU, it kept cutting in and out bad causing me to REALLY loose seconds (over 7 seconds a lap) and I blew my catalytic converter up so I was probably driving with 50WHP. I still enjoyed it though although I spent more time checking my mirrors with the big machinery out there than driving. lol

 

good looking car. LOL are those eyelashes above the headlights? looks fun to drive

 

Yeah haha, I decided to make it look a little happy/fruity. My girlfriend made some lips for it but I didn't put them on. LOL

It's a blast to drive and VERY cheap to maintain.

 

Nice really like the road course pics... is that Road Atlanta?

 

Thanks! Yep it's Road Atlanta. This was at an MVP Track Time track day in November.

enjoy it, not many of those neons around

 

Nice I need to get some laps at Road Atlanta under my belt.

Loving the Neon!

 

True! Thanks, it's a fun car.

You won't regret it! I ran my very first track session in a car there when I turned sixteen and it still isn't boring.

Haha that makes sense as well. Thanks!

nice...so did that beast of yours managed to pass anybody...

 

Sadly yes, a few M3s, a 240Z, and a Mazdaspeed 3 kept pointing me by but he was a lot faster on straightaways. I say sadly because the car probably had no more than 50HP due to the cat and with it cutting in and out. Plus I was on all seasons, Autozone brake pads and a crap alignment. I'm bringing it back out next month I can't wait to see what it really has.

 

Sounds like awesome fun to me!

 

Made a lip for it, hoping it will make a LITTLE difference on track.

 

A buddy of mine that has a ton of road racing experience once told me that the lower powered cars are a blast to drive because you can really stand on the gas and push them hard without fear of getting too out of hand.
I would venture a guess that is what you mean when you talk about your Neon.
For us total rookies, I think he may be right!
