==============================
The Neons must be good cars to being with or they wouldn't have
"dominated" either class. Hmm, guess Chrysler did some good R&D work
and made a good car.

=========================
I did that because we all have (race)cars. My daily driver/autocross
car is my (race)car. That doesn't make it any less of a stock car.
Your car can probably also be described as a (race)car, can't it? Hell,
for that matter every rental car I get my hands on is a (rally)car. ;^)
When I tell my co-workers that I race cars they ask to see my racecar. I
point them to the parking lot and towards my white Neon with blue racing
stripes. "There's my racecar."
Guess what, it's still a stock car.
My main points are that just because I drive my car on a daily basis
doesn't make it any less of a racecar. Does it. Please give me a
dictionary definition of a racecar. I'll bet my (race)car Neon fits the
definition. And why should Chrysler be penalized (by allowing trunk
kits for other makes) for the other companies obvious lack of interest
in making a better (race)car?
In my opinion, trunk kits shouldn't be allowed in SS, period. If the
other manufacturers are serious about making a good car/racecar then let
them spend the money to produce them and sell them through regular
dealerships like Chrysler.
BTW, I hope that Ford does bring the ZX-2 S/R to market and therefore
bring another good (race)car to the streets and the racetrack.
See you on course.
