Don't forget the new 99 Civic SI. The SI has the rear bar and if allowed to
play with the rear bar then it should be able to run with the R/T Neons and
the ES Neons. And possible threat the ACR Neons, but not likely.

My point was that it would make an ES neon (potentially) as
fast as a DS
neon... thereby blowing the other ES cars outta the water.
Much as I like
neons and spec classes, I think having _two_ neon dominated
classes might
be a bit much.
