Considering shelby already has a neon, so y not have fun with it and try to make it better. Its easy to say go out and start with a another platform etc (f-body,stang) but that takes money,car payment,loans. I’m sure his car is paid off so IMO think its cool that he’s trying to make is a little better and is realisitic with the goals that this engine make bring. true but if you want something like that to perform you are dumping alot of money into a car that is alot cheaper and isnt really meant to race/perform. if money is an issue, get an early ls1 z28 for relatively cheap and keep it stock until you get some more money. even a stock ls1 will more than likely blow away a modded neon like that and when its all said and done the price will be similar and you’ll have better resale. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/oh-noes/190623)._
