The best plan is to wait until you have a job. The neon is a dependable, economical car.

On the plus side my car is paid for, it has low miles, is rust free and runs good so I guess that's something to look at.
I've been eyeballing the Xenon front bumper covers, I think they look pretty decent, maybe one of those and some new struts and spring to lower the car a bit would help it look more like I want it to look. Also a set of 215x50x15's would make it stick better too, I'm sure they'd fit on the 15x6" rims especially with the new struts and springs(probably get em' for the SRT-4 so I'll have extra room) then I'd like a set of SRT-4 pedals to dress up the interior.
Larger anti-sway bars and upper strut supports, both front and rear, and the car should really handle well.

What about autocross? Or *gasp* back roads? :lol:

The rubber compound has a lot more to do with it than the footprint, and if youre gonna stiffen up the swaybars, you're going to transfer a bit more of that turning roll to the tires now... so a slightly lower profile will help against the extra sidewall flex that you'll see (which means pick up some cheap 16's or 17's like used SRT's or whatever), and a better compound will help it from slipping.

I don't think I'll do swaybars until I get some really good tires. I'd rather have a little sway than slide. But that's just me.
Drive it like you stole it, and work on it like you married it.
