Sorry Varien, I'm just having fun with this

Trust me I have nothing vested in your (even in a mocking way) disparagement of Vipers, although I do love them

and consider them several classes above even the fastest of Neons.

BTW if you're going to quote wikipedia, at least get your facts straight, the IRON block in Dodge Rams, not Dakotas share a basis in origins with the V10 in Vipers, but the suspension? C'mon.

And no, a Neon cannot become a sportscar because you hop it up. The Viper was designed ground up to be what it is, component re-usage is possible and still compatible with that view, heck look at the Lotus cars which form the basis of this forum

[edit]Here's another test for you:
Park a standard Neon next to a Neon SRT-4.... park a Dodge Viper GTS or SRT-10 next to a ?????? guess what there isn't an "econobox" version of a Viper
