Holy cow, 5.5 sec 0-60? That's insane for a $22,000 FWD car.
Was the SRT Neon FWD?

good question. I don't even know if dodge knows where the 'ring is. the neon srt4 was before their little merger wasn't it? I'm too lazy to google right now.

I think I read that it was an Opel (Astra?), but Bouncertime's link makes it look like it was a Mazdaspeed3 followed by a Civic.
