I Don't have the credentials or the racing experience that lots of people 
here have in their SP cars like Heath. (I do like racing against someone 
better tho so I know when I am improving!) But I also don't have another 
car. So I drive my SP neon everywhere unless I need over 4 seats and then I 
borrow the Parents Party Wagon Van. I have a racing seat and high rate 
springs and race valved struts etc. All the SP suspension tweaks are there 
although the springs arent the highest rate and arent coilovers. I have no 
problem with it I never run A/C just because I like fresh air rather than 
dry A/C air.

I've driven to as many Atlanta and Charlotte and other NC events up to 2-4 
hours away. I also drove to neon98 and neon99 in Belvidere Ohio which with 
stops was 13hrs away. I've taken a vacation in Daytona Beach and Miami 
Florida which are 6 and 9 hours away respectively. I am a bit younger and 
dont' mind the punishment but I like the racing seat better than the stock 
seat and drive with the racing harness on.

I guess its more of how much punishment you can take from the suspension.
