That's a hell of a big difference.

Your a bit touchy for a guy who has that nice of a hood orniment on his car...
Seriously though, why the Neon doubt or hate? There are Neon show cars, whether or not you like them is the issue. I tend to shy away from anything that has more show than go myself.
There are also Neons with loads of horsepower out there. Do the engines blow up under high boost? Oh yea. But thats half the fun right? I will say this. That engine will last much longer than the Elises engine under boost. Dodge did their homework on that engine, I actually discussed it a number of times with the chief engineer while he was on campus at Purdue. It was designed from the ground up to be low compression, high boost. The 2zz was not.
So there are Neons that can hand Vettes their butt out there. There are also Neon ACR owners out there that could drive circles around many Elise/Exige owners on the track. I never get caught up in the who is faster than who game though. I enjoy my cars for what they are worth, and am content with the smile they bring to my face.
Remember, there is always someone faster than you out there. With the Elise though, they probably dont look as good, haha.
