Actually, after a little info from Mark D. last year, I even posted a faster
time in the challenge than all the Type R's at the Pro Finale. I believe the
Neon, personally, would be competitively classed with the Type R. Some
courses, I think the Neon would get creamed, read wipe-open hp courses. But
otherwise, the Neon would keep up. Just my own personal observation here. I
haven't seen the new classings yet, but where did they put the 2001 ACR?
