i've raced some lightly modded SRT4s, and they struggled to handle a small power increase from stock. I'm not quite sure if it's wise to pump that much out of the car.

either way, have fun when you get it back
IMHO 250 is the max for FWD cars. My Mazda6 torque steers like crazy when I floor it off the line (esp when the area isn't smooth).

dodge neons are not cars i particularly like, esp since so many chicks drive them around here.

yours however, is a different story. it has some serious power, and the fact that i love black cars makes yours straight up desireable.

the torque steer question is a good one though. for a small fwd car that's a lot of juice to be going through the front wheels.

Yea I don't terribly like neons, far too many chicks drive them. Surprisingly, the torque steer isn't terribly bad. I forget exactly what it was they did to quell it, something about equal length half shafts, I'm not quite sure. Nonetheless it's not really bad. Though you're right, it is noticeable.
