I've driven a stock Neon SRT-4. Way too easy to spin the front wheels and get it out of control.
But still a hell of a lot of fun to drive. These things have no muffler so they are kinda loud when hitting the high RPMs. Viper seats......oh ya!
This is by far the most fun car to drive under $20k. Looks leave something to be desired. The damn huge rear spoiler is a rear-view blocker.

Mopar even offers a turbo upgrade. It was around 300HP
It would be great to see a small powerful, RWD car like that. They had the Razor concept last year, but I don't remember if it was RWD or FWD.

Yep, the Razor is RWD and has the 2.4T engine in it. I know DaimlerChrysler is coming out with some
great small cars on a new Mitsubishi platform when the kill their in-house small car platform (very soon-within next 5 years).
I think I remember hearing that the Razor was one that will make it as a production car (modifications of course).
DaimlerChrysler is going to be formidable competitor in the small car realm soon.

On the other hand
These cars are targeted towards teens, which really can't drive. I hope they make it reasonable, but not so that teenagers will be able to afford one.
When I was 16, none of my friends could drive. I wasn't a prodigy, but I spent my time focusing on vehicle dynamics, while they were trying to figure out how to make the tires squal around a corner
25K would be good for a fully loaded car. Similar to the WRX, which I haven't many problems with. Atleast the Neon is FWD which is easier to handle. I burst out laughing when I read that the Razor did away with the spare and replaced it with a Razor scooter.
