My mistake, they do make some of those in the states. Would feel different to go that fast in a Neon.

So is this just another concept car, or is this one for real? The article makes it sound as if this one is actually going to be built. If so it looks like DC might just have something there and they have definately got my attention. I like it!

Something that can go that fast, in a limited edition, for $20,000, and most importantly... can fit the kids (8&10yrs old)in the back seat is very cool! We've been talking about getting the wife a new car later this year and after showing her this, looks like we might be saving a little longer and getting one of these. That is if they actually make them. She really liked it too!

Everything I've read says that it'll definately be built for 2003. Made by the same team that designed the Viper SRT-10 (10 being 10 cylinder, SRT-4 being 4 cyl).
