For those not following the goings on at SCCA....I've been irritated the last couple seasons with my heavy 2600LB car (we'll leave my fat ass out of it;-) classed with 1900LB civics, so i wrote a letter to the SCCA SEB to reclass to the new STF and it actually worked Don't know why the R/T didn't make it to STF, its not like its any lighter. Someone else can write that one.
If you believe Hollis's analysis from this summers GRM I used the table for a benchmark and added 2gn + my SXT in R/T trim. Its still an uphill battle on paper but say a 3.55 no option SE ? + header/cat, tune, and decent~ish suspension and actually prep the car to loose some legal weight? somewhere near ~2400lbs. yeah that might actually work with a decent driver. My benchmark was the #2 STF Mini at nationals in my local club. i have been all over his raw times the last few times he's been out. Maybe he's having an off day and I've been driving big or there could be something to this..

#9016 Per the STAC, clarify the STC listings for Neon to read:
Neon (1995-2000) (all)
Neon (2001-2004) (ACR & R/T)
Also add to STF:
SCCA Fastrack News December 2012 Page 18
2001-2004 Neon (NOC)
Note: this puts the slower models of the 2nd generation Neon in STF. While the generation split is at year 2000, the ACR transmission was available in some lesser trims initially in 2000.
