I think I'm repeating old info here, but as I remember Chrysler pulled much 
of their contingency money for amateur racing and are going to field a 
NASCAR "car" in the near future, so it seems that since they aren't worried 
about amateur racers anymore they are making the neon less racer friendly as 
well.
