I thought this thread was to define everyone's definition of Rice, not a Neon thread.
I'll add this though...
I don't think you can even comparee a Neon to a Ferrari. One is a sport compact and the other is a high end exotice. A Ferrari owner would even look twice at a Neon and a Neon owner couldn't afford an oil change on a Ferrari. No comparison.
Sure the SRT may be a great performing car, that can beat cars twice it's value, but it is still a Neon. Unreliable, high insurance rates, no resale and they are ugly.
Personally I'd still rather own a slower RSX or a Mini Cooper then a Neon. There is an article in this months Car and Driver that compares 5 cars including the SRT. It's an interesting read.

I think rice is just a matter of taste. If you like LED washers and big decals good for you because it's your car.

$30,000 to $50,000........................yes retarded. The STi was nice though. I drove one and hit 180km/h on some random road after I missed a shift into 5th. Easily as quick as a 996.Faster than an SRT,but $20,000 more expensive.Lets let this thread die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The SRT is for the guy who regards performance as the #1 reason for buying a car. Obviously the 3 hater's here don't value Performance since your driving slow assed car's and/or spent a fortune on look's.
**** this thread...................................**** THIS THREAD!!!!!!!!!
I can' t even afford an SRT. Im just preaching. We all bought Honda's for one reason or another.
