it's all about the sleeper man.
i don't want to drive something that looks fast. attract unwanted attention.
shoving an srt-4 motor into an sxt is only the half of it. there's the limited slip, gauges, oil cooler, hours of dyno tuning, wheels, suspension, seats, everything involved.

think about it. the interstate roll is where this car really shines. a stock looking neon on the back and side is all you need. they roll up...line up with. all they see is neon. three honks....3 bus lengths.
